EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Tukwila Parks & Recreation Department intends to update the Community Services and Safety
Committee on the results of its Fiscal Year 2025 operations. This update will provide highlights, and
high-level results regarding all aspects of department operations including Recreation and Parks
Maintenance operations within the General Fund (000), Foster Golf Links operations within its Golf
Course Enterprise Fund (411), and parks development projects within the Parks Capital Fund (301).
DISCUSSION
The Tukwila Parks & Recreation Department had a very successful 2025:
• Recreation saw increases in program participation across nearly all facets of operations
• Demand for the department's ongoing work across our parks, trails, and open spaces continues to
grow, with increased volunteer numbers in Green Tukwila as well as higher levels of graffiti and
litter abatement performed by our Parks Maintenance Team.
• Foster Golf Links continues to increase sales and top -line revenue, thanks in part to another year
of over 60,000 rounds sold.
• Capital projects were awarded and/or secured several million dollars in grants from state and local
sources with design stages advancing for multiple projects.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This item is a review of last year's Parks & Recreation operations and results with no decision being
requested. This item has no financial impact on any City of Tukwila funds.
