The Seattle Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners is now taking public written input and will hold two public hearings on Thursday, February 27, 2025, on the proposed updates and revisions to Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR)’s policy concerning the Use and Scheduling of Outdoor Athletic Facilities, and SPR’s Native Plant Policy.
SPR’s policy on Use and Scheduling of Outdoor Athletic Facilities, last updated July 2002, establishes guidelines for outdoor athletic fields scheduled by SPR. This excludes West Seattle Stadium, which is covered under separate policies.
SPR’s Native Plant Policy, instituted in June 2009, establishes guidelines for planting and landscape management in Seattle’s parks and open spaces under SPR operation. The Board was briefed on the proposed updates to these policies at the January 23, 2025, public meeting. A recording of this meeting and draft versions of the proposed updated policies are available here: https://www.seattle.gov/board-of-parks-and-recreation-commissioners
