DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT The Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department will use this grant to engage the community in developing a playbook for inclusive park design that reflects the diverse ethnic, racial, religious, and cultural dimensions of city residents. The grant will fund project management and community engagement including consultant services, interns, and public meetings. The toolkit will provide guiding principles and actionable tactics for planning, designing, and developing parks, trails, and open spaces so they are more welcoming and foster belonging. The playbook will provide tangible examples of landscape designs, treatments, furnishings, and functionality that are most desired by residents. Once developed, the playbook will guide design of improvements and new investments across the park system. The primary recreational opportunity supported by this project is active recreation.
