Welcome

Welcome to the Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan Implementation online open house! The purpose of this online open house is to seek community input to inform our plans for pandemic and economic recovery and learn more about what you want to see at our parks, open spaces, and community centers in the coming years.

The survey portion of this online open house is now closed, but you can still learn more about our work and planning.
