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

hours of operation have been reduced in the 2013/14 budget process. Our staff will do their best to register you as quickly

as possible, but we ask for your patience and understanding if we are not able to respond as quickly as you may expect

from past experience. We have limited staff which may affect our response time. We highly encourage you to register for

programs online when possible and available. Thank you for your

continued support of Seattle Parks and Recreation.

Your Advisory CouncilMost classes, workshops, sports and swim programs, special events

and facility rentals are funded through the local advisory council, rather than from City of Seattle budgets. Revenues generated through program fees offset program costs to make these activities self-sustaining. We also rely on participation, donations, and contributions to maintain and

upgrade equipment. Advisory council members create scholarship opportunities through grant writing and other fundraising activities.

Join Us!Citizen direction and participation is essential to our success. Monthly meetings are held to talk about programs, policies, and financial issues. Our advisory councils always are looking for new members. If you would like to get involved, please contact the facility staff for further information.

The revenue generated by these fees constitutes only a portion of funds required for operating and maintaining the Parks system.
