Wonderwood Park Forest Management Plan Implementation
The City of Lacey received a $10,000 Urban and Community Forest Program grant from Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on March 1, 2011. Funding assistance is provided by the USDA Forest Service. The grant funds were used to retain a consulting urban forester, Washington Forestry Consultants, Inc., to prepare a forestry management plan for Wonderwood Park.
A public meeting was held at the park on August 22 to get input from citizens and neighbors of Wonderwood Park. The forestry management plan was approved by the Board of Park Commissioners on September 26, 2011.
Wonderwood Park Forest Management Plan Final 
The recommendations in the plan are being implemented.

In 1971, the City of Lacey purchased approximately twenty acres for what would be the first park in the city with $14,500 of city funds, and a grant of $58,000 from the Washington State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation. Two years later, the city purchased an additional 20 acres with a second grant from the Washington State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation, in the amount of $52,500, and a donation of $17,500. The following year, the city received a third grant from the Washington State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation, in the amount of $101,816 and together with $25,454 of city funds, developed our first park. Then in 1977, phase 2 of the park’s development was funded with $107,302 of city funds and a fourth grant of $192,688 from the Washington State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation. In 2005, Wonderwood Park was redeveloped using a total of $1,010,000 in voter approved bonds and city funds and a fifth grant from the Washington State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation, in the amount of $280,000.
