With funding from the Seattle Park District, Seattle Parks and Recreation is able to maintain the Burke Gilman Trail to ensure this valuable community asset remains a safe, accessible, and enjoyable resource for all users. Within the scope of our Asset Management & Life Cycle Program, we conduct routine repair of sections of the Burke Gilman Trail where accessibility is impacted by paving deterioration from age and uplift caused by roots.
SPR is currently in the process of updating the Burke-Gilman Trail Maintenance Plan. As a part of this work, we are evaluating the conditions on the Burke-Gilman Trail to create a prioritized list of trail segments for future maintenance repair work.
