Park and Recreation Districts in Washington rely on voters to renew local levies to help fund maintenance and operation of facilities and programs. The Replacement Levy renews funding to support the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool and Clover Valley Park. We receive NO funding from the City of Oak Harbor.
