Dear Recreation Enthusiast,Summer is our favorite time of year at Seattle Parks and Recreation. It’s when throngs of Seattleites fill our parks with picnics, pick-up ball games, laughing children, long walks, weddings, lazy days at the beach and so much more.This year as spring and summer come around, we at Seattle Parks have our minds on some serious business: continuing to fund the parks, programs and services that Seattleites know and love. We have spent the past two years planning for a vibrant future of our park system with the development of the Parks Legacy Plan.This is a guiding document that helps us plan for the future of Seattle’s public parklands and facilities. We have developed this with significant input from residents who use our parks, programs and facilities. We used the document as the basis for a possible park funding

measure that may go in front of voters later this year.We have held a series of public meetings to inform the community about the plan and get feedback from residents. Just about the time this brochure goes to print, the Mayor- and Council-appointed Parks Legacy Plan Citizens’ Advisory Committee will be making its final recommendations on the size and type of funding package. The Mayor and Council will take further public input before determining what will go before voters.If you’d like to learn more about Legacy Plan, or the status of the proposed funding ballot measure, please visit our website at www.seattle.gov/parks/legacy/committee.htm.Sincerely,Christopher Williams, Superintendent

ÌDANCE POLKA/WALTZHere is your chance to enter the wonderful world of polka and waltz, the original 3-minute speed date that tests your physical, mental and social skills (especially the dances you will learn here!). You do not need dance experience or to bring a partner. You do need the ability to enjoy the popular music from past years, to be comfortable dancing with a partner and to be comfortable with exercise in public. Because nobody is required to have dance experience, it is a good idea to wear shoes that protect your toes. Those that are light with leather soles and non-marking rubber heels work well for these turning dances. The lessons will start with recorded music and change to live music when we have enough dancers. Taught by Bob DreisbachLocation: Ravenna-EcksteinFridays 6-8 pm $3 per person / $2 for over 50
