Seattle Parks and Recreation wants public help in planning the future of Seattle’s parks, community centers and other facilities. The department has published a draft plan and would love to get your feedback on it.
Read the Parks Legacy Plan here. You can email feedback to parkslegacy@seattle.gov.
Quoting Acting Superintendent Christopher Williams, “Now it’s time to ask the hard questions: Are we spending resources as effectively as possible? What does the public think of our park system?”
In addition to the online feedback option, Parks has scheduled a series of public meetings in May. They want to encourage everyone who uses parks, community centers, swimming pools or other facilities to come and say what you think.
While some of the meetings focus on certain parks functions, comments on any Parks activity or function are welcome at all of the meetings.
