Homestream Park, a testament to salmon, the Methow People, public education, and art has been a place of reverence and celebration since it was created in 2019. From its inspiring sculptures by Indigenous artist Smoker Marchand to the riverside trail adorned with interpretive signage, every aspect of the park invites visitors to connect with the land, the river, and the rich history of the region. Teachers from the local Little Star School regularly bring their students to Homestream Park, seeing it as an outdoor classroom that enriches the lives of many Methow Valley kids.
On October 8, 2023, Cathy and Phil Davis, the Park’s founders, made a momentous announcement. In the spirit of fostering lasting connections and nurturing the park’s legacy, they revealed their intentions to gift Homestream Park to the Methow Valley Interpretive Center (MVIC). Join us in securing the park’s enduring legacy as we raise funds for its ongoing stewardship, educational programs and community events. This endowment will stay with the park in-perpetuity.
Reaching our goal of raising $200,000 will ensure long-term stewardship and care of this special place.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS ARE SAYING
“When Phil first shared the vision for Homestream Park with me, we understood that this place was something we could create only with the blessing and participation of those most deeply tied to the fish, the waters, and the land, the Methow People. Our intention has always been to shepherd the park’s creation, and then to pass it on to an organization attuned to this vision. Our friends from the Methow Valley Interpretive Center have been working alongside us since the inception of Homestream Park, and we trust they will steward its future in harmony with what today’s Methow People want, while thinking and caring into the future.”
cATHY DAVIS, CO-FOUNDER OF HOMESTREAM PARK
“I’m so excited to hear of this next evolution for Homestream Park. The Methow Valley Interpretive Center is ready to take this on and we, as a community, can help support them in being good caretakers of this wonderful community park that honors the river, salmon, and the Methow People.”
Sarah Brooks, Executive Director of the Methow Conservancy
