DISCUSSION Building on past successes, the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department is planning new offerings, including expanded special events like movie nights and concerts and mobile recreation providing afternoon, evening and weekend programs and activities. Staff are working to activate parks and neighborhood areas throughout the city- particularly in areas that have been underserved in the past. Currently (and subject to change), our special event schedule includes, but is not limited to:  First Fridays at Foster Golf Links: Concert and Movie (6/2, 7/7, & 8/4)  Family Fitness Day (6/10 – Cascade View Park)  Sullivan Center Lunchtime Concerts (6/14, 7/12, & 8/16)  Juneteenth (6/17 – Sullivan Center)  Bark in the Park (7/20 – Crestview Park)  National Night Out (8/1 – PD coordinating locations)  Touch-A-Truck (8/19 – Southcenter)  Back to School Beach Bash (8/26 – Joseph Foster Memorial Park) Building upon our successful location-based Summer Playground Program (continuing at Crestview Park Monday through Thursday) staff have designed a more far-reaching five-day-a-week Mobile Recreation Program, which will feature staff and free activities and programs into the late afternoon/early evening and on weekends. Locations include parks and neighborhood hubs, including: Day AM PM Wednesday Sullivan Center Foster Memorial Park Thursday Crystal Springs Park Riverton Park Friday Cascade View Park Cascade View Park Saturday Tukwila Park Duwamish Hill Preserve Sunday Tukwila Pantry Hazelnut Park RECOMMENDATION No recommendation requested at this time; item is for discussion only.
