Background and Analysis:
This Plan, updated every six years, serves as a guide for the phased development and enhancement of Olympia’s park system. It takes inventory of the current park system, recreation facilities and art program plans and charts a course for the next six years. In addition to a capital investment strategy, the Plan includes new goals for increasing equity, inclusion and belonging in our parks and services, and commits the Department to pursuing climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.
Ms. Keehan will provide an overview of the process to date, and response, where applicable, from the community review period.
