Help Shape the Future of Edmonds Parks and Rec

Edmonds, WALocal News

The City of Edmonds is hosting a virtual community meeting on July 22, 2021, to gather resident feedback on its Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan. This plan is crucial as it will guide the city in enhancing recreational facilities and programs to better serve the community's evolving needs. Residents who enjoy activities at the Edmonds Frances Anderson Center or local parks are encouraged to share their perspectives during this interactive session. The city aims to ensure that its planning reflects the diverse voices of its residents, with interpreters available for Korean, Mandarin, and Spanish speakers. For those unable to attend, an online survey is accessible in several languages, allowing for broad participation.

This update comes at a time when the city is responding to changing park usage patterns, particularly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. By focusing on equitable access and investment, the city hopes to foster a vibrant community atmosphere. Engaging the public in this process is vital for creating a parks and recreation framework that meets current and future demands.
