Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is currently working on developing the Seattle Park District Financial Plan, which will lay out the funding for the next six years of the Seattle Park District.
Community members are encouraged to learn more and join the discussion in building the next six-year budget by attending a public meeting.
Public Meetings:
- Delridge Community Center (4501 Delridge Way SW), Monday, March 2 from 6 to 8 p.m.
- Lake City Community Center (12531 28th Ave. NE), Thursday, March 5 from 6 to 8 p.m.
- Van Asselt Community Center (2820 S Myrtle St.), Saturday, March 7 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
In 2014, Seattle voters approved the Seattle Park District, which provides more than $47 million a year in long-term funding for SPR, including maintenance of parklands and facilities, operation of community centers and recreation programs, and development of new neighborhood parks on previously acquired sites.
The current Seattle Park District funding cycle runs from 2015-2020. The next Seattle Park District Financial Plan will run from 2021-2026 and will be informed by a variety of sources, including our 2019 strategic planning process (in which we talked to over 10,000 community members), public input, and other known parks and recreation system needs.
