Seattle Parks and Recreation will host the last public meeting to gather input on the future of Seattle Parks and Recreation’s outdoor facilities on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at Bitter Lake Community Center, 13035 Linden Ave. N from 7 – 8 p.m. 

This meeting is an opportunity for the community to provide Seattle Parks and Recreation input on preserving and developing public outdoor recreation facilities, including parks, trails, and boating facilities. Parks encourages the public to attend and also to answer a quick nine question survey located at the plan update site: http://seattle.gov/parks/Publications/DevelopmentPlan.htm 

With community input, Parks will update the 2006 Development Plan by the end of the year; it establishes eligibility for State grants through the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office. 

Parks staff will brief the Board of Park Commissioners on the draft 2011 Development Plan on May 26, 2011, and the Board will hold a public hearing on June 9, 2011.  

For more information, please call Kathleen Conner, Project Planner, at 206-615-1299 or email her at Kathleen.conner@seattle.gov. The 2006 plan and update information are available online at http://seattle.gov/parks/Publications/DevelopmentPlan.htm
