SUBJECT:
Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan
The updated Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan are now available for your review.
The Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department organized and conducted several public
workshops and forums with the assistance of the Tukwila Parks Commission. Public
surveys were filled out by residents as well as a mail-out/phone survey completed by
registered voters.
The updated plan is very comprehensive and goes into detail about inventory, forecast
demand, costs and implementation. New to the plan will be the issue of Park Impact Fees
for your consideration.
The new Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan will be presented to Community Affairs
and Parks Committee for review followed by continued review at the May 27th Council
of the Whole meeting. Once the draft review is complete, a public hearing will be
scheduled and the plan will be available on the cities website.
An adopted open space plan is required by the Washington State Recreation and
Conservation Office in order to qualify for state and federal grant funding. It is the goal
of the Parks and Recreation Department to officially adopt the plan by June 16th.
