RIP Salmon Bay Park zipline..." • More neighborhood pocket parks - use street ends and similar small spaces. • Staff to maintain them • Places protected from drug users and related crime activity where families feel safe and their dogs are included too • Why did I have to find this survey on FB instead of in an email from the parks department? • Natural spaces.

I’m a dog walker and I don’t have a car so off leash areas in Volunteer Park and Cal Anderson Park would be great instead of getting ticketed if dog is off leash.

I would also add more of those metal adult exercise equipment. Lastly open restrooms all year round not just summer. • Fencing around play areas like whale tail to help keep young ones especially runners safe and contained- • More exercise equipment at water front parks • You need a decent competition pool with good rental possibilities. Seattle high school and club event participants should not have to drive all the way to Snohomish! There should be enough pools that all our children can learn to swim. Our growing senior population is constantly being told that swimming is the best lifelong exercise and we also need more adult lessons at all levels. Swimming skills save lives. • I’d love it if the playground at Woodland Park had a washroom there. • some chairs, benches • sharps containers. • Off-leash dog areas **with lake access** please! • My youngest would love teeter-totters • I would like to see more staffing.

I’ll bike when there’s safe paths, and otherwise get in a car. Would love to have a safe, not car-laden, north to south bike route. Burke is good, Interurban too. • A 15mph speed limit isn’t realistic for any average/fit cyclist/bike commuter. Most fit cyclists will average 16-20 mph, and won’t go slower just because of a speed limit. I doubt it would be enforced anyway, but it would be much more common sense/realistic to set the speed limit at 20. • I agree that enforcement would be an issue. OTOH, 20 mph on many parts of the BG and other trails is too fast, especially when people on bike are mixed with people on foot. If Seattle does intend to set an official speed limit for its trails, I believe it should be 15 MPH rather than 20 MPH. • Need a safe and enforced speed limit on the trail. It’s getting ridiculous. Also on Fremont and Ballard bridges it would be nice to have the bikers dismount and walk bike across or have one side of bridge for bikers and one for pedestrians. I’m sick of getting smashed into or have to dangerously stand up against the Ballard bridge when a bike passes and half the time they still hit into your arms barreling past you. • The Ballard Bridge is ridiculous and needs proper (wider) accommodations for people walking and biking. • "Tough issue. As others have said, 15mph is way low for many cyclists - if enforced, that would simply force them onto the roads. I assume that isn't the goal? • Why not separate wide trails like the BGT into pedestrian and cycle sides, like some stretches already do. There's plenty of room for that on the vast majority of that trail at least. For more narrow trails, at least try signs with instructions for BOTH 21 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II groups - recommended cyclist calls and how peds should react (in my experience, calling out 'on your left' is almost as likely to make a pedestrian step left as right. So it almost feels safer just to ride by unannounced). But I agree that e-bikes should just be treated the same, it's great to encourage others out riding." • Am I the only one here seeing the problem of enforcing a speed limit on vehicles that do not come with, nor are legally required to have a speedometer? Worst thing that could happen is you are told to slow down. • "I believe speed limits will probably negatively impact people who use longer trails like Burke Gilman to commute, may increase # of people using cars. But I’ve yet to find speed to be an issue as a pedestrian on those trails as long as people are being sensible while passing. • The issues with bikes in general I’ve had is bike riders ignoring signage, particularly stop signs. There are several places where trails intersect with traffic, 3-4 near UW that I can think of, that have clear stop signs for bikes, but none for cars, but the bikes will blow right through the stop sign. This is the most dangerous thing I’ve seen." • I am a bicycle commuter, and I completely agree that the most dangerous issue facing cyclists are themselves. Police need to enforce traffic laws on cyclists. • "E-bikes should be allowed as long as they follow whatever regulations other bikes have to follow. • E-bikes make it possible for some people with disabilities to go riding when they otherwise couldn't. They also encourage more people to commute via bike instead of driving." • Speed limit for all makes the most sense. If the DOT won’t build safe bike lanes, it’s unreasonable and unsafe to not allow e-bikes- Many of which are family bikes- on these other trails. • I ride a class 2 eBike with the option to switch to class 3. When I ride I find the worst violators of speed limits, stop lights/signs and using signals (including announcing passing on the left) are pedal bikers. I have a disability that makes it impossible to use a regular bike and do not drive a car so being able to traverse freely on my eBike is my only option. It serves no purpose to deny eBikes if they obey the same regulation as any other bike. Washington State has very comprehensive eBike regulations, there is no reason to very from them. I travel through 3 different jurisdictions traveling from Seattle, Renton, Kent, Tukwila, Bellevue and Redmond. Trying to figure out what whimsical legislation has been implemented on any particular stretch of road or trail isn't helpful and doesn't improve safety. An eBike rides the same as a regular pedal bike and there is no reason to hold them to different standards. • Any speed limit needs to be realistic. Near the 520 bridge, I probably hit 20mph+ going down hills on my analog bike. This makes up for when I'm going 5mph climbing the hill. If low speed limits are set, I feel like more people will say, F it, I'll just drive. Or ride on the streets, which drivers hate. • E-bikes are bikes, period. They should be subject to the same rules as conventional bikes - don't speed, don't ride like a jerk. But otherwise, we all should welcome e- bikes - anything (safe) that gets people out of cars! • 15 mph for all includes scooter and skaters • Most people don't realize there is a 15mph limit in place. I'm not against ebikes so long as they stay under 15mph but that hasn't been my experience lately - people are going way too fast a d our family has had several close calls with speeders. I've lived along the Burke for 20 years and all the bike crashes I've seen have been due to excessive speed (broken arms, collar bones, concussion, etc). • Bikes need no more special treatment 22 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II 6/29/19 Twitter • We could definitely use some bike racks near the Green Lake wading pool. 7/9 FB Poll - What • More "wilderness"/forested off-leash areas or trails.

A) Small/shy • How about starting the shared park program that is working so well in New York dog area or B) Dog agility and Portland? Parks like Good Shepard on 45th and Meridian and Wallingford equipment Playfield are perfect locations where this could be happening. Certain hours of the day are for kids and human activities, and certain hours allow dogs to socialize and run free. The dog hours are usually early in the day, and later in the evening, after kids go home for dinner. Dog owners work together (self- police) to make sure dogs are not aggressive or dangerous to other dogs or people, owners can also make sure people clean up after their dogs. It’s hugely successful in both NYC and Portland. There are more dogs than kids in Seattle. We need more places for our dogs to play, close to our homes. We don’t need to be constantly afraid of being ticketed for having our dogs chase balls and frisbees, or because they want to run and play with other dogs. The Parks Dept needs to stop profiting off old, outdated leash laws and step up to help make better environments for all. I cannot walk or drive to large off leash areas every day. Enclosed dog parks breed disease. Quit punishing dog owners!! • Of course an indoor dog park would be over the top.

Regarding benches or covered areas, I don’t see the need. An area to put communal balls is nice. And, of course a source of water is appreciated. • "Just a reminder that Parks created a great master document, People, Dogs and Parks Plan. Part of this plan is an Off-Leash Area Review committee that folks can submit potential OLA sites! • (Full disclosure: I’m on that committee.)" 23 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • Dog parks in neighborhoods that I feel safe in • A dog shower area to hose/rinse dogs before they get back in our cars! • I would say grass for them to run on as most parks are dirt or mulch. Also plant trees throughout so they have shady retreats. • Pickle ball courts and more dog parks that are long walks • Another dog park in West Seattle, please • And more Park Rangers • More grass. Most of the dog parks are pure gravel. It would be nice to have a Grass field for them to run around in. • Nighttime lighting, dog water, bathrooms, shelters in that order • More dog parks in other Seattle Areas like Beacon Hill South, Georgetown, Seward park, Rainier Beach, SODO, Leschi. With the traffic situation getting worse and worse and the number of dogs just increasing we just need MORE dog parks. And think about dog park areas that are protected from the elements for the winter and summer months, like under the freeway or old warehouses or old pier that are no longer in use. • Hose area to wet or rinse dogs • Taller fences around westcrest. The existing fence is falling apart and over due for replacement. Grandview did a very low cost upgrade to 8ft with rolls of cattle fencing on metal pipes! At westcrest many dogs chase squirrels over the fence into the wooded area, and recall from prey is a challenging endeavor. • I'd like to see separate areas for small dogs. We don't use dog parks *at all* due to my small dog always getting intimidated by larger dogs and their humans making excuses for aggressive behavior • In my opinion, there should never be a dog park without a water fountain for the dogs. It should be a given. • Lights! Dog parks are unusable or unsafe after work for a majority of the year because it's too dark, but other outdoor facilities have lighting. • Night lights, at least until 9 or 10pm so people can walk their dogs after work .

To get the strong community part, you need to have 12+ adjacent dedicated courts. FB 7/6 - Should we allow • Bikes should be walked on busy sidewalks. I am so tired of having to jump aside for e-bikes? 15mph limit? them when waiting at the bus stop. share your thoughts • I hope everyone who comments here also took the survey! That's important. I'd like to see educational signs along the trail, and as a citywide campaign, for speed and etiquette reminders. I can't tell you how many times I could have been run into while walking, by cyclists who whiz by an inch away and don't bother to say "on your left." How do they know I wasn't just getting ready to step one way or another? • More bike lanes and protected bike lanes, with speed limits and appropriate signage, would be great. I’ll bike when there’s safe paths, and otherwise get in a car. Would love to have a safe, not car-laden, north to south bike route. Burke is good, Interurban too. • A 15mph speed limit isn’t realistic for any average/fit cyclist/bike commuter. Most fit cyclists will average 16-20 mph, and won’t go slower just because of a speed limit. I doubt it would be enforced anyway, but it would be much more common sense/realistic to set the speed limit at 20. • I agree that enforcement would be an issue. OTOH, 20 mph on many parts of the BG and other trails is too fast, especially when people on bike are mixed with people on foot. If Seattle does intend to set an official speed limit for its trails, I believe it should be 15 MPH rather than 20 MPH.

26 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • I believe speed limits will probably negatively impact people who use longer trails like Burke Gilman to commute, may increase # of people using cars. But I’ve yet to find speed to be an issue as a pedestrian on those trails as long as people are being sensible while passing. • The issues with bikes in general I’ve had is bike riders ignoring signage, particularly stop signs. There are several places where trails intersect with traffic, 3-4 near UW that I can think of, that have clear stop signs for bikes, but none for cars, but the bikes will blow right through the stop sign. This is the most dangerous thing I’ve seen. • I am a bicycle commuter, and I completely agree that the most dangerous issue facing cyclists are themselves. Police need to enforce traffic laws on cyclists. • E-bikes should be allowed as long as they follow whatever regulations other bikes have to follow. • E-bikes make it possible for some people with disabilities to go riding when they otherwise couldn't. They also encourage more people to commute via bike instead of driving. • Need a safe and enforced speed limit on the trail. It’s getting ridiculous. Also on Fremont and Ballard bridges it would be nice to have the bikers dismount and walk bike across or have one side of bridge for bikers and one for pedestrians. I’m sick of getting smashed into or have to dangerously stand up against the Ballard bridge when a bike passes and half the time they still hit into your arms barreling past you. • The Ballard Bridge is ridiculous and needs proper (wider) accommodations for people walking and biking • Speed limit for all makes the most sense. If the DOT won’t build safe bike lanes, it’s unreasonable and unsafe to not allow e-bikes- Many of which are family bikes- on these other trails. • Am I the only one here seeing the problem of enforcing a speed limit on vehicles that do not come with, nor are legally required to have a speedometer? Worst thing that could happen is you are told to slow down. • "Tough issue. As others have said, 15mph is way low for many cyclists - if enforced, that would simply force them onto the roads. I assume that isn't the goal? • Why not separate wide trails like the BGT into pedestrian and cycle sides, like some stretches already do. There's plenty of room for that on the vast majority of that trail at least. For more narrow trails, at least try signs with instructions for BOTH groups - recommended cyclist calls and how peds should react (in my experience, calling out 'on your left' is almost as likely to make a pedestrian step left as right. So it almost feels safer just to ride by unannounced). But I agree that e-bikes should just be treated the same, it's great to encourage others out riding." • I ride a class 2 eBike with the option to switch to class 3. When I ride I find the worst violators of speed limits, stop lights/signs and using signals (including announcing passing on the left) are pedal bikers. I have a disability that makes it impossible to use a regular bike and do not drive a car so being able to traverse freely on my eBike is my only option. It serves no purpose to deny eBikes if they obey the same regulation as any other bike. Washington State has very comprehensive eBike regulations, there is no reason to very from them. I travel through 3 different jurisdictions traveling from Seattle, Renton, Kent, Tukwila, Bellevue and Redmond. Trying to figure out what whimsical legislation has been implemented on any particular stretch of road or trail isn't helpful and doesn't improve safety. An eBike rides the same as a regular pedal bike and there is no reason to hold them to different standards.

27 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • Why is the conversation around ebikes/etc always around the top physical speed or watts of the equipment. Do we outlaw cars that can go over 80mph? Or 0-60 in less than 10 seconds? • Because the issue is specific to paths that were purposely designed for multiple uses and users: walkers, joggers, cyclists. Unlike streets and highways. • "I don't see how that has anything to do with my question. I'm not against a speed limit. • I also want to add higher watt EUC & E-skate can often break faster and safer." • Mitch Lustig - I agree with your point, but the purpose here is to fit local regulations to existing state regulations so there is uniformity and you don't have to worry about crossing jurisdictions. • It's ignorant to blame ebikes for the speed. I get passed everyday on my ebike by analog bikes. All ebikes do is let a more diverse set of users use our trails. • Any speed limit needs to be realistic. Near the 520 bridge, I probably hit 20mph+ going down hills on my analog bike. This makes up for when I'm going 5mph climbing the hill. If low speed limits are set, I feel like more people will say, F it, I'll just drive. Or ride on the streets, which drivers hate. • Ebiking I've lost 50+ lbs. since my stroke of 364 days ago. • The spandex crowd are far more dangerous and rude then the e bikers I have encountered. 15 mph for all includes scooter and skaters • E-bikes are bikes, period. They should be subject to the same rules as conventional bikes - don't speed, don't ride like a jerk. But otherwise, we all should welcome e- bikes - anything (safe) that gets people out of cars! • Most people don't realize there is a 15mph limit in place. I'm not against ebikes so long as they stay under 15mph but that hasn't been my experience lately - people are going way too fast a d our family has had several close calls with speeders. I've lived along the Burke for 20 years and all the bike crashes I've seen have been due to excessive speed (broken arms, collar bones, concussion, etc). • Normal non ebike cyclists do faster than 15mph smh • Bikes need no more special treatment • These E bikes and rental bikes are as bad, if not worse then litter. They should be banned from the city parks as they do nothing but hinder people with disabilities to freely get around the parks • Many people with disabilities can (and do) bike with their e-bike, including for transportation. I suspect you should talk to those people before banning them from our parks. • Why would e-bikes be an issue??? Every biker I’ve seen going too fast, ignoring pedestrians and causing problems have been regular old pedal bikers in spandex riding like they are in an Olympic race! 7/9 FB - What amenities • How about starting the shared park program that is working so well in New York would you like to see more and Portland?

Hate to be a pain but there are a lot of areas for kids, fewer for dogs.

Clearly people should pick up after themselves but currently we cannot safely take our pets and kids to a park due to exposed needles. Regarding benches or covered areas, I don’t see the need. An area to put communal balls is nice. And, of course a source of water is appreciated.

It should be a given. • Lights! Dog parks are unusable or unsafe after work for a majority of the year because it's too dark, but other outdoor facilities have lighting. • A splash pad for dogs like the kiddos get. • More grass. Most of the dog parks are pure gravel. It would be nice to have a grass field for them to run around in. • Taller fences around westcrest. The existing fence is falling apart and over due for replacement. Grandview did a very low cost upgrade to 8ft with rolls of cattle fencing on metal pipes! At westcrest many dogs chase squirrels over the fence into the wooded area, and recall from prey is a challenging endeavor. • Flat terrain, maintained grass with NO foxtails. • "More dog parks in other Seattle Areas like Beacon Hill South, Georgetown, Seward park, Ranier Beach, SODO, Leschi. • With the traffic situation getting worse and worse and the number of dogs just increasing we just need MORE dog parks. • And think about dog park areas that are protected from the elements for the winter and summer months, like under the freeway or old warehouses or old pier that are no longer in use. • We have so many areas that could be used for the dogs." • neither!

Pickleball’s ability to bring people of all ages and backgrounds together for a good time should not be stifled. • Pickleball options, located in areas where people play. This is not a solitary sport. It's hyper social which is good for all of the community, young and old. It gets people out together, exercising, socializing, and enjoying the community that we live in. It's one of the only sports where young and old can participate together. How can you not see the health benefits for active and energetic citizens?

Also, put some lights on all the courts that are lined and people will be able to use them in the winter when it's dark early in the evening. • A permanent pickleball facility with indoor and outdoor courts. Just having access to courts with nets and lines has helped me stay healthy, meet and engage with my community. I've played alongside people from 8-80+ years old. I know it's the social outlet for numerous folks and is accessible to a wide variety of physical situations. • A dedicated pickleball facility with indoor and outdoor courts. More access to pickleball on outdoor courts (pickleball conversion lines and dedicated nets). • A pickleball complex of 12 dedicated courts or more that offers day and evening play. • More inclusive parks. Parks that are fully fenced and that have equipment that can be enjoyed by everyone. • Dedicated pickleball courts! • Pickleball is growing everywhere and seattle is no exception. Seattle needs at least two 16 court pickleball venues in the next ten years. Pickleball is inclusive and creates community. Seattle is far behind other cities which is ironic because it is the game’s birthplace. • A pickleball complex with at least 8 courts! Many other cities are doing this and it benefits a very large population. • Dedicated Pickleball courts are needed big time. I just moved here from the Salt Lake area and they responded quickly to how popular the sport has become. Dozens of courts within minutes of each other. C'mon Seattle, you don't want to be outdone by a conservative/Republican/Mormon community do ya? • Seattle has almost 500 tennis courts (private and public). We need far more than the 8, 12 or 16 Pickleball courts others have asked for. For a city the size of Seattle and the speed that Pickleball is growing, we need hundreds of Pickleball courts. • SPR has stuck their head in the sand about Pickleball, trying relegate new playing opportunities to unused, out of the way, dilapidated tennis courts when, for very little money, they could stripe many tennis courts for Pickleball allowing both sports to be played on multiple courts. Four Pickleball courts can be striped on one tennis court. THINK BIG SPR! • Would love to see a Disc Golf course in Lincoln Park in West Seattle. • An indoor/outdoor pickleball facility with +12 courts. • I have answered this same question about 5 times in last 3 years...last was at the SP&R day at Grn Lk when SP&R reps were there..I talked to 3 men and said the same thing...I would like some feed back from them on what they are doing with our suggestions comments rather than another survey. I even put beans in the jar to say what I wanted to see more of..of course we had to have them make a PB jar in the first place and it filled up fast...I bet NO ONE at SP&R counted or even measured it ...it was just a feel good for the public idea...very stupid IMHO...unless of course I see results of that informal survey. • Less heroin needles would be good start. 7/15 FB: hat do you think • Love the art.

Nope! One of the biggest city parks in one of the wealthiest parts of Seattle! There is absolutely NO excuse for such disregard in a parks facility in this city! Instead of dreaming big, you sound focus on making what you have tolerable for people to actually visit now. Calling the city has been on my list. I'm so disappointed and disgusted. • Edible forestry like the Beacon Food Forest! Rain gardens and bioretention cells to mitigate storm water runoff and especially pollutants making their way into Puget Sound. Less grass and more event space. • Seattle is too far behind the pickleball trend. This is good for all of us.

40 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • Funny, I was just going to say more attention to bathrooms. I know they are a big financial drain, but they have a huge impact on park experiences. Especially for people who deal with any kind of bowel diseases, which is a sizeable percentage of people. More resources (both money and employee time) need to be put into making the bathrooms clean. Walking into most of them is like walking into a horror show. I only use them when I'm so desperate that there isn't enough time to drive to a fast food place or grocery store to avoid peeing or pooping my pants. Bathrooms also need to remain open all year. A perfect example is Northacres Park. The bathroom is usually only open in the summer but the park is very heavily used all year long. One time I was caught there with a dead battery at night in winter. By the time help arrived almost 2 hours later I was thinking about which leafless bush would provide the most cover for me to do my business. • pickleball courts • "Pickleball courts, facilities including dedicated indoor times during the rainy/winter/short daylight season across community centers.

No camping should be allowed and our parks need to be kept safe and be welcoming to everyone. • Parks and Moorages should NEVER be given to private companies to manage at a profit. When SPR has a property that generates revenue, there should ALWAYS be enough money for the city to make the investment and benefit from the return. Sad situation on the Leschi and Lakewood Moorages. SAD! • A pump track would be great for kids to practice their mountain biking skills. Leavonworth has one and my son’s abilities and confidence soars every time we go! • Don’t mess with our Jefferson Golf Course. It’s affordable, accessible and beautiful. • Inclusive playgrounds designed for people of all abilities. No camping allowed. NW local plants. Interesting artwork/design/historical elements. • As Seattle becomes more densely developed, we need more parks and green spaces to bring people in contact with nature. We also need to continue to focus on maintaining and preserving the parks we have. We are so fortunate in Southeast Seattle to have such wonderful parks (Mt. Baker, Seward, etc., etc., etc.). I worry that our city's rapidly increasing population will over-burden our existing parks. We can't let that happen! • For being such a dog friendly city, I find a significant lack of accessible, functional, well planned dog parks/runs here in Seattle. Unless you're prepared to get in your car go to the likes of Magnuson (which is absolutely wonderful), there aren't many smaller, convenient (walk-able) locations to let our furry friends off leash within our neighborhoods. A study of the city of Denver, and how they have integrated dog parks into each of their neighborhoods, might be worthwhile as a consideration for the future of Seattle. • We need more active ball fields, and to have those fields we do have be better maintained! • More disc golf courses • More garbage and recycling bins, and more frequent disposal so that they're not overflowing. • Longer operation hours of the Colman Pool, so that one can swim laps after commuting back to West Seattle • DEFINITELY need another swimming pool!!! 3 of our public pools are closed at this time due to repairs. All of them are elderly, except for the remodeled Rainier Beach pool. Magnuson would be a GREAT location for a pool. Please, please, please consider another pool. • Must be an indoor pool, or a pool with a retractable roof. 42 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • The City needs to set aside money to acquire the portion of SR 520 currently used construction staging lying north of Lake Washington Boulevard, east of Foster Island Drive, and south of SR 520, called by the Washington State Department of Transportation "the WSDOT Peninsula." Most of it is wetland; the westerly strip just east of Lake Washington Boulevard as it turns northward is upland and had a small parking area. The WSDOT Peninsula was taken from the Arboretum for RH Thomson Expressway, which was never built, and the Arboretum off-ramp, which will be removed. It belongs with the Arboretum. But, since the City under Mayor McGinn declined to swap land with WSDOT and insisted on cash for the taking of Arboretum lands known as the Old Canal Right-of-Way, WSDOT will want cash too for this area. • Montlake has lost 2/3rds of East Montlake Park, the old Canal Right of Waylands, and parks of Montlake Boulevard, and Montlake Playfield's wetlands have been damaged by SR 520 construction. The return of the WSDOT Peninsula to arboretum and horticultural uses is necessary to recompense the east Montlake neighborhood for its loss. The area is also important to the Arboretum; the larger area would help the eco-system. • Vote August 6th in the primary election for new city leadership so current failed policies can be changed • Enforcement of leash laws and no dogs on beaches in parks • For as popular as Green Lake is, it would sure be great if the main path around it could be cleaned more regularly of the massive amounts of geese, duck, and yes - human crap. Enforcing the no camping laws would also be greatly appreciated. So in answer to the questions: "What matters most to you about parks and recreation? What do you want to see more of?" ...My answer is safety and cleanliness. It's more about what I'd like to see "less of." • TODDLER playgrounds. • Smaller, safer play structures with a fence around the area. So parents can actually hang out and chat and enjoy the experience, instead of running around non-stop chasing their child and keeping them from falling 20 feet  • Municipal golf courses - they provide recreation and important green space. • More dedicated walking paths leading to or connecting parks. • More pocket parks - even in industrial areas. • More off-leash areas for pups! Preferably in centralized locations in neighborhoods that have more pups than children. They don’t even have to be acres and acres— something small for apartment dwellers would suffice! • Can you give the geese birth control? They are reaching critical mass once again. Throwing them into gas chambers probably isn't the answer which they did before. What other less violent alternatives do we have? I too, walked around Green Lake the other day and there was a lot of goose poop on the trails. I'm not swimming in Green Lake this year because it's all in the water too. The other concern that echoes with so many residents - NO squating, dealing drugs, smoking, shooting drugs and each other...... • More places/times to play pickleball, indoors and out! • Consistent and reliable access to bathrooms in parks during all daylight hours. I know of so many people who didn’t use parks or participate in outdoor activities because they couldn’t rely on bathroom access. • How about workout / stretching stations around Seward Park? Since the hatchery restart is out of the question. How about an updated education center about the Lake Washington ecosystem? Maybe a running path on the interior side of the road. I live near the park so I have a lot of ideas. Also, love Discovery Park don't over develop it. Advertise the King County Parks along the Duwamish. 43 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • Seattle’s parks are why we live here. • Parks and open space that is safe, clean, and uncrowded recharge us. • Parks and open space should never be sacrificed to provide housing or commercial venues. • Parks are vital to maintaining our mental and physical health. • I have recently retired, and discovered the ease and camaraderie of Pickleball. This is difficult for me this summer, because there are much fewer dedicated times for players to get together, I would like to see more dedicated pickleball courts, indoors and outdoors. I have met many people such as myself, and I wish to maintain an active lifestyle as I age. • We agree - pickleball!! • Love, love, love Seattle parks. I wish there was an outdoor and/or salt water pool in the north end, more parking on the playground side of Northacres Park and picnic tables closer to that playground would be awesome. • I would like Parks staff to return emails from ordinary citizens. I would describe Parls as impenetrable. The impression I get is that input or questions from community are at best unwelcome and at worst an annoyance that can be ignores. I have also experienced this as a representative of organized non-profit community groups. Citizens raise a lot of money and do an enormous amount of work in our parks and are apparently essential to maintaining our parks. I ask for you to be more respectful and responsive to your (customers and employers?). Thank you for asking! • We have 14 dog parks yet dogs run free in all of our non-leash parks. If we are going to pay for off-leash parks, there's no point in having all parks be essentially leash optional. If we are serious about wanting separate on- and off-leash distinctions, we need to enforce the leash requirement. Otherwise we are wasting everyone's time and money. • There should be zero tolerance for homeless encampments in our parks. That also goes for RVs adjacent to them. Our parks are getting trashed and they don’t feel as welcoming as they used to. • Do not allow development of park land. We should only be expanding our parks as the city grows. • Keep developer hands off of Seattle parks including Magnison park and the golf courses. • Investment in staffing to support our parks/park projects. The parks are understaffed and someone mentioned wanting to email back from the parks department... I bet it would be nice to have time to check emails. • If your Parks and Recreation employees could stop needlessly creating a dangerous and unsafe situation to vulnerable road users by parking in the bicycle lane and bus lanes that would be much appreciated. There are plenty of safe (and legal) streets or parking lots nearby for your employees to park their trucks. • My husband is disabled, so I like the special parking places close the water, such as those at Lincoln Park and Golden Gardens. I sometimes have to push him along in a wheelchair, so it is best if the paths are paved and not slanting from one side to another. It is hard to push on uneven paths.I love the natural areas, such as Licton Springs and Northacres. You can feel like you are out of the city that way. I also love Greenwood park because it is a walking destination from my house. It is a shame that the city couldn't keep the special building on top of the hill in Carkeek open. That is energy saving and evencollects water,even . It is a lovely place, a really wonderful inspiration. Camp Long has always been a treasure. Also, my 4 kids always needed a place to play soccer. For an example of a great park, there is Cromwell Park in Shoreline. So many uses and beautifully designed. 44 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • I appreciate all the off leash areas we have but we need more. The ones we have are crowded and rowdy. We also specifically need places we can walk the dogs / exercise the dogs without just throwing a ball within a crowded space. I would like trails, walking trails. Also I would like small block parks every few blocks so that people in the ever increasing condo buildings (i.e. density) can be outside with some grass and trees (and wading pools?) without having to drive to one of our lovely big parks (which I definitely value)! • Return the water fountains that used to be in the parks • No drugs or smoking • No camping • Keep golf courses out of commercial hands • Clean up goose poop • More consistent staffing and more predictable programming throughout the city! In the past year or so, I have signed myself or my daughter up for three different sets of classes, all of which have been canceled due to either low enrollment or no instructor. Only Amy Yee tennis and aquatics seem to operate as expected. Also more open hours at the community centers. It is terribly frustrating to vote for big park levies and have my teen repeatedly find our local center closed at 3:30 in the afternoon when he wants to use the gym. Better community outreach in general (to promote programs and build awareness). Also bathrooms as stated above. • Parks in Queen Anne, add tables for 2/4/6 people and maintain beautiful landscaping to admire (filled with NW plants). Access to clean BBQ pits (natural gas with timers perhaps?). Nearby Indoor tennis and basketball courts for the rainy cold days. • Water fountains, clean bathrooms, dog parks. • Free classes. • Definitely maintaining and sustaining the large wooded parks and trails within the city (Seward, Discovery, Lincoln, Carkeek, Jackson Park trail, etc.) While keeping and developing more play fields for kids and adults. • Keep our golf courses and continue to invest in affordable programming for all ages on these courses. Continue to allow the courses to be used by the Universities and local schools for cross-country races. And hands off Discovery Park - the in-city hiking there is unmatched and should not be used for for-profit housing AND it is not legal for the city to take green space without replacing it. Leave it as is and let us enjoy our urban exploration, programs, and kids camps without housing. • Seattle has approximately 150+ tennis courts, many of them in disrepair with worn surfaces, ragged nets, weeds growing up between cracks. With it’s 2008-era budget, SPR cries “poor” and won’t maintain the courts, and refuses to repurpose some of the more accessible ones for pickleball. Why is it in this time of heavy downtown construction, incredible population growth, SPR gets the short stick on the budget and must pass special levies just to get, oh, wait, more money going to tennis while other sports languish? Here we are in one of the longest financial booms in history, people flocking to the PNW because of the weather and opportunity for healthy living, yet SPR is not allowed to spend money on maintaining the courts we’ve all been paying for since the 60s? That’s what I’d like to have SPR deal with and soon. And importantly, quit funneling all the money to tennis and the Amy Yee Tennis Center as interest in tennis wanes and pickleball explodes. • I would also love tennis programming and courts in West Seattle! • Seattle Parks along with the City Council have to promise that our parks and green spaces are not used for tents, RVs, etc. The safety of our families and preservation of our beautiful parks needs to be the main concern. 45 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • It would be nice if every wading pool and spray feature be operational as well. Picnic areas and bathrooms at our parks and beaches need updating, particularly the ones in South Seattle. • There needs to be stronger enforcement of off leash laws, particularly at Jefferson Park and Alki Beach. More signs and patrol. • Housing at Fort Lawton is not the solution for the homeless problem our City Council created, unless it’s only designated for Military Veterans. • I would like it if the city of Seattle would clean up all the parks and open spaces for all people to use. Many of our parks and open spaces have been trashed and are unhealthy for families, and children. There are play fields lined with tents and the unhealthy debris the homeless and careless leave behind. We the citizens of Seattle have voted for levies for parks, open spaces and recreation areas over the years and quite honestly, we expect to be able to use these areas as intended. That being said, lets create a few campgrounds for the homeless, and provide the camps with toilets, showers and a clean up crew. Remove any tents and homeless from illegal camping areas and set them up in safer and healthier places. The status quo is leaving us with a hopeless feeling, city council, the mayor, the police dept are not providing solutions. Do we really have to allow this lawlessness towards our parks and open spaces? There was plenty of funds to paint the bicycle lanes, the bus stop expansions, the the rainbows in cross streets the blue clouds at intersections etc. Let's stop the hopelessness of homeless camps, unhealthy playgrounds and play fields and provide safe places for these camps. • Off leash dog areas with lake access in the south end . I think dogs ought to able to pass an off leash test, can’t be any riskier than 16 year olds with driving privileges! • Please do a better job of maintaining what you have, including: better care and cultivation of vegetation, removal of graffiti, patrolling to discourage and evict illegal camping, removal of trash, especially needles. Defer consideration of other strategic initiatives until this is accomplished. It makes no sense to undertake capital improvements until you can figure out how to properly care for what already exists. • I agree with the need/desire for more off-leash dog parks. I will add that as a rescue dog owner, I would like to see an off-leash park that would be a one-dog-at-a-time area. There are so many rescue dogs here and mine just doesn't get along with all dog personalities so he can't go off-leash. • And a bathroom (locked at night? at Woodland Park (near the Zoo on Greenwood). • Pools and Rex centers open on school holidays. Especially in areas with kids who need something cheap/free to do while parents work. Crazy that the days we have free for recreation the facilities are closed. • We need to have more animal control people, so the leash laws can be upheld. They need a budget that is not based solely on dog licenses purchased. We need fenced areas in most all parks for off leash dogs. I love all parks and dogs, but not dogs off leash. • As a softball player, umpire and coach since the 1970s through 2000 I want to thank you for everything you do to keep our parks and ball fields in playable condition. You do a good job. We are at the parks 3 to 4 days and nights every week so we see the hard work it takes to maintain these parks and we appreciate it. Thank you, keep up the good work. • More pools in the North End of Seattle, especially a salt water pool. More tennis courts, more off-leash dog parks so that dog owners will not abuse the parks where off-leash privileges are not allowed. • MAKE THE HOMELESS PAY TO USE OUR PARKS

46 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • Why do law abiding citizens have to pay hundreds of dollars to rent a space in our own parks (for even a few hours like what was stated in this article https://mynorthwest.com/1406986/seattle-company-bbq-woodland-park/) • but the homeless get to live in our parks and vandalize them and pay nothing? Start charging the 'homeless' campers to live in the parks. If they had to pay $300 to rent a space for a few hours they would leave in a hurry • Not seeing people living in them • more food and indoor opportunities (art, sewing, beads, gack, etc) for after school aged kids. music playing would be good too. keep kids off streets, away from home, and safely learning something • Maintenance on the Burke-Gilman trail needs to be more timely. Keep city vehicles off the trails to help preserve trail surface - use gators instead. • I love dogs, on and off leash, if their owners have some modicum of control. I love our golf courses. I understand there is some law in place that would protect them. Let's make sure the mayor and the city council don't override that law to build more housing, which is sprouting up like weeds in every area. Finally, enough is enough; don't let people camp on sidewalks, parks or off to the side of a road. It's dangerous and it's wrong. Buy them a parking lot or something to camp in. It shouldn't be so scary for taxpaying individuals to walk down the road in their own neighborhoods without worrying about being accosted by some tent person. • Clean, well kept up, comfortable and safe places for families, all people, children of all ages, to gather, meet others of like interests and play or visit. Especially more indoor pickle ball courts! • More clean ups after nice days on Alki. The garbage overflows and then gets spread around further. Parking enforcement would be great too. As the council allows greater density people block driveways of those of us who live near the destination park areas. • More off-leash dog parks please • I have added my “Thanks” to those comments with which I heartily agree above. The parks we have need to be better maintained. In budget-cutting time, Parks’ budget is one of the first to be cut, yet increased density calls for more safe places to enjoy nature. • A tree fell in Mount Baker Park during a Spring storm, & it has lain where it fell ever since. The tree needs to be removed from this well-used Park. • A small family-friendly play space in the Broadview neighborhood. North of Carkeek and West of 3rd. Carkeek is not safe to walk or bike to from the north end of the park. • 25% of Seattle households have dogs. 20% have kids. Yet there are 450+ human parks and only 15 dog parks. My vision: we convert a quarter of the existing small people-parks to hybrid people-dog parks. Each would have a small fenced off-leash area with a modest supply of poo bags and garbage cans. Most important- there would be one of them within a 10-minute walk of most houses. I’m talking about the little pocket parks that are all over the city. Imagine the bonding and camaraderie that would develop if EVERYONE could easily walk to a dog park by home. Great for people and for dogs. Most of the time I walk by these little pocket parks they are empty. But dog people... if you build it, we will come. Woof! • top priority should be keeping bums, vagabons, vagrants, hobos camps out of our parks. there are no honey buckets in many of the small parks and are many streams which these tramps can contaminate with human waste. these are the same streams that our children play in and flow into lake Washington and Puget sound near our swimming beaches. • Restore Community Center hours and programs 47 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • Pocket parks so families can walk to a park in their own neighborhood. • Finish the development of Smith Cove Park, can't say this too strongly. • Maintain and increase funding for Green Seattle Partnership • Not a dog owner but off leash areas improve safety in parks. Dogs and crime are not a good mix. • No development or housing on golf courses • Perhaps someone could spray down and clean the dugouts of needles so the kids don't need to smell piss or stick themselves.. You may also want to take the roofs off during the fall/winter to prevent "camping " in them when the weather gets bad.. Maybe the parks people could be so kind as the rest of the city government doesn't seem to give a crap.. • I would love more pickle ball courts both out door and in. Also the homeless would • Not be allowed to camp there. • Leave our golf courses in place! No affordable housing units on park property! In fact they need improvement in many ways. Both Jackson and West Seattle need Club Houses. Municipal golf is affordable and Inclusive, it pays for itself and in fact gives $ back to Parks. Support it! • SPR says they want multipurpose courts and fields but continues to stiff pickleball. One of the least expensive things that the city could do to allow more pickleball is to paint pickleball lines (4 courts on each tennis court) - even without resurfacing the sadly worn tennis courts across the city. • As Seattle increases density we need parks and green spaces preserved to bring people in contact with nature and not developed for organized sports. We also need to maintain what we have responsibly. Preserve our open spaces and natural areas...undeveloped and for tranquil enjoyment and wildlife habitat. Understand how important these spaces are in our fight against global warming. I’m concerned that in the pressure from growth, the policy makers and Parks will sacrifice our natural areas. Don’t let that happen! • Would like to see some weight training/work out @ Jefferson Community Center. • I love our parks. I would love them even more if they were cleaner (no illegal camping, no graffiti, no litter) and if dangerous foxtails were removed to prevent further spreading, especially at your off leash parks. Also, the Interbay Mini Golf course is the saddest, dirtiest mini golf course I’ve ever been to in my life and costs the same as the shiny new courses at Flatstick. It wouldn’t take a lot to just clean up the litter, improve the landscaping, and remove the “water” features. If you really want to save your municipal golf courses, treat the more accessible features like you want it to stick around. • Sanctioned off-leash hours in the early morning and late evening. This would be much more economical than permanent off-leash enclosures. If Central Park in Manhattan can do this so can we! • We would love to see an aquatic center like in Renton. We need outdoor swimming options in Seattle. • Maybe I'm just a cynical old sod. But there's a parks levy on the ballot coming in a few days. And then magically Parks & Rec is suddenly interested in citizen input. • With all the earthquake headlines of late, I’d like to see more park benches in our parks modeled after what Japan has done: created bench’s that when “turned” become cooking surfaces. That is A+ emergency preparedness in my book • TENNIS!! R&R the existing courts! There are so many that haven't been resurfaced in decades. And while you're raising the height of lights for field sports, the tennis lighting in Seattle is the worst! They either don't work at all or they're so low (Greenlake) you may get hit in the face w/ a 120mph serve (yes, it is dangerous).

48 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • As normal maintenance should be scheduled to make existing courts usable, SPR should be planning for more indoor courts, as we have a minuscule number compared to other "lesser" cities.

• A BIG THANKS to maintenance of the Bitterlake walking trail, goose poop patrol! They do a wonderful job of clearing tons of that poop all year. Now if we could only get people to stop feeding them, they might follow their normal migrations. However, the Bitterlake tennis courts have dog & human poop inside the fence perimeter to collect on the tennis balls, YUCK!

• THANKS FOR ASKING WHAT MATTERS TO US! :] • Green Lake Crew and all that Jason F does for that program changed our son’s life! And that of many other kids! He’s now a D1 rower! Thanks for making rowing affordable and accessible. The programs are incredible, but it’s the people at SPR that make it spectacular! • Making them bicycle-friendly, even just installing bicycle parking, would be appreciated. • You have a gem in Magnuson park with fabulous athletic fields both grass and turf that all receive heavy use yet there is no central accessible bathroom located by the playground/turf fields, only potable toilets. I have seen the parking lots by these fields overflowing with cars and people for athletic events and public community- building events and races. Please build an ADA accessible bathroom facility at that location (between Rugby field 5 & the playground).

• Also, please fertilize and maintain the upper grass fields 8-11 for athletic use as there are many “potholes” on the fields and I have seen kids seriously injure their ankles playing sports up there.

• Love the open natural spaces you have maintained there! • To those of you responding, it's really nice to see the passion.. I hope it all works out.. After seeing the changes in the parks here over the past 50 plus years, I have to say, that the reason they put this question out is because they are trying to figure out how they can charge user fees, taxes and permit fees and with our suggestions, they will be able to say that we actually wanted it, rather than just doing their job and/or using the parks taxes that we already pay to make improvements.. And yes, I do hate being cynical but hey have done nothing to curb that through their actions.. • #1 SAFETY for our children & families - no camping, RVs, human waste, drug addicted and mentally unstable roaming around our kids leaving needles and waste everywhere etc. Cal Anderson NEEDS HELP NOW. I will not vote for another park levy until public safety and health is addressed. Save our parks!! • Everything is secondary to enforcing no camping RV usage in parks daily. Sick of needles and human waste and worrying about crazy people jumping my 16 month old. Sick of the car break ins and property damage around public spaces. • I love the amount of tennis courts all over the city and they are well used. It would be great if they were maintained a little better - some have cracks and bumps and slopes that make them almost unusable (ex: Miller Park, Stan Smith), and many are covered in leaves from nearby trees all summer. Maintaining the courts makes them usable to all city residents. • #NAME? • #NAME? • -Hands off our city greenspace...don't give golf courses over to developers 49 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • SPR Lifelong Fitness and Wellness classes matter! Please don't eliminate courses and cut back on staffing hours. • Dog parks. There are a few parks and they are great distances from where most people live. Convert some of the smaller parks and neighborhoods to having a small area where dogs can be Lead people this would enable people to walk to the sparks in their neighborhood. Mini neighborhood parks could give up corners to be fence for off lead. Also we need more large parks with water access for dogs. • Bob • We need dog free parks. Our parks • Have become dog bathrooms. The neighborhoods next to park's are used as dog bathrooms too. • There needs to be better overseeing of the people who do staff our park offices here in the SW, and there needs to be some accountability from the staff to that person who oversees as far as what the rules are and how each park and what they offer is run. More specifically, I was practicing piano about 2 hours each day at my local community center. At first, I took lessons and everything was fine. Then I stopped taking lessons and started getting told which piano I could play, as there were about three of them and all were not in the same condition. Eventually, I started taking lessons again and was told because of that, I was allowed to play the good piano. Then suddenly the rules changed, and I was told I was not allowed to play the good piano, whether I was taking lessons or not, and then I was banned for two weeks. I made a call after searching intensively to find the top dog which, I believe, I did, and I told them the situation and was told there was nothing they could do for me and that they couldn't override the head person at the particular community center I was practicing at. I never went back. So I think the rules should be established and stay consistent throughout all community centers, and for each person at every community center and not based upon the person's mood who is in charge at the time nor on how jealous that person may be of another person's opportunity and schedule to be able to practice everyday without, I might add, disturbing any other classes, anyone else, or anything. All complaints should be looked into! Are these community centers and what they offer to the public here for the public or not? If they are, then break down these walls of exclusion. • I agree with the number one priority being to keep parks clean and safe. I had to teach my toddler about needles because we see them in playgrounds. I understand that is part of being in a city, but I’d like to see the parks kept cleaner. Camping should not be allowed and closing times should be enforced. • Keep frequent “campers” OUT of public parks PERIOD! The person who lives in Lincoln Park and West Seattle is still there after months ago ,a conversation with a park employee told me that they would do what they could but they couldn’t “risk their safety. “The fact that they even are acknowledging that it IS a safety issue for them to even address the person says it all! When I don’t feel safe walking my dog through the forest of Lincoln Park where I am a tax paying citizen ? Seriously? This wasn’t an issue when I first moved to West Seattle in 2007 but I have seen an absolute explosion of tents in parks and green places all over the city what’s to stop it?I have absolutely had it! Enough meetings enough process ,enough bureaucracy - Camping should be illegal in public parks and green spaces. Period • Keep the homeless from using our Parks as camping grounds. Clean up the graffiti and empty the trash bins more frequently. Enforce the leash laws to keep dogs from running loose. • Please make sure our current parks are clean and usable • "I agree with many of the comments above. Having lived in other parts of the country, I think Seattle, as a large and beautiful city, should maintain and expand

50 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II park properties to something that we call all be proud of and known for. We have so many beautiful spaces already, but, we are terribly underfunded for maintenance, improvements, and supervision. Keep going with what we have, but make it work better, cleaner, safer and more inclusive. For example, funding for more pickleball courts; maintenance of current tennis courts; and keep and improve our golf courses!!! Also, more swimming programs. For a city our size, we need more year-round swimming programs to include all who want to participate. And make our golf courses beautiful and fund improvements:

• Let's compare Seattle to Spokane..

• Seattle: Pop 755,000 • Spokane: Pop 390,000

• Seattle Public Golf Courses: 3 full courses, Interbay a short 9 hole course • Spokane Public Golf Courses: 4 full courses that are beautifully maintained." • "What matters the Most for everyone is that our parks are Free of needles, feces & homeless drug addicts. • Start there ! • The rest of the city is being destroyed by the destructive progressive ideology but if we can save our parks we might make it through this."

• "Reminder, if you’re concerned about public safety, crime, accountability, and transparency of government, vote in the primary election on Aug 6th. Ballots are on the way to you.

• Do not follow the voting recommendations in The Stranger unless you want our city to continue to deteriorate." • Hopefully there will be an expansion of the number of outdoor Pickleball Courts in the future, particularly for the benefit of the city's seniors. • No public park land should be sacrificed for housing or other non-park uses. Once it's gone, it's gone. With increased density, the need for public green spaces increases as well. The results of Initiative 42 (enshrined in Ordinance 117669) protecting us from losing public park land is still in effect. The City needs to follow it. • "More invested to keep up current parks and playgrounds. The playground i take my kiddo to has blackberry canes and vines across the paths and coming up through equipment, there's also holes in the rubber mat surface with exposed concrete a kid could hit their head on. All of our parks are looking pretty shabby. There are often homeless people sleeping in/under playground equipment, which means we venture out and then can't even play. When we go to a bigger park to enjoy nature, there are off leash dogs running all over, scaring my kid and scaring away the birds we're trying to observe, leaving poo piles everywhere.

• It's hard to go enjoy a park these days." • "I would like to see a complex of 20 or more dedicated, lighted and covered pickleball courts.

• They need to be dedicated so that they are not pitting tennis players against pickleball players.

51 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • They need to be lighted so they can be used during evenings.

• They need to be covered so they can be used when rain pours.

• We need 20 or more courts together for community building: https://youtu.be/GMtEePVkZac?t=261

• Keep in mind that pickleball is growing at an amazing rate. Do you know how many players your are currently serving in the city and how many there will be 12 years from now?" • SAFETY! - no homeless tents or needles so that we and our kids can safely USE the parks! Can't let a kid run around if it might not be safe. • More pocket parks/greenways as the city gets denser! • Upgrade and maintain the tennis courts throughout the city. • Bathrooms open year round at parks. So many horrible awkward moments with my babies when there wasnt a bathroom open and they refused to pee outside. A real barrier to off- season outdoor play. • I would like to see more off leash dog parks, particularly in West Seattle. Maybe open the school properties to dog play when there are no student activities. The current dog parks are dirty, over crowded and unsafe. • Preserve as much green space as possible. The city is too congested and many citizens are crammed into small living units with no access to nature. Buy up the land now, possibly adjacent to current parks. 7/20/19 - FB - What do • I love how hard grounds and maintenance staff work to keep things looking good. you love about parks and • I love the entire staff in Magnuson Park. rec? what do you want to • I love that SPR exists and is asking for our feedback. I think the grounds are see more of? generally well kept. I appreciate the pricing. I love the free meals program and activities during summer for kids. I would love to see more options for: roller derby with painted track lines and more full tracks, covered/indoor skate parks (like Bellevue’s indoor skate park), and more community gardens. I would also love to see more native plants/landscaping for better ecological health. Thank you for all that you do! • I love that spr offers programming at reasonable rates (and lots of scholarships too) allowing all kids to participate in lots of fun activities. • I love how I can take my kids inside for free to Roller Skate at Magnussen community skates. I love that I can skate there in their derby program through PFM. I’m not a sporty person. Roller Derby speaks to me. Roller skating speaks to my children. • A dedicated pickleball center that provides year round access to indoor and outdoor play. Seattle is building a strong and inclusive pickleball community and we’d appreciate facilities support from SPR! • I think the website could use some revamping - I found it extremely frustrating to use when searching for summer camp activities for my teen. I think it could be setup to be much more user friendly. • I love how friendly and encouraging the rec staff are • I love the counter staff at Magnuson! ❤️ I’d love to see painted track lines for roller skating and roller derby and generally holding space for women and girls. • I wish the City would do more public education about how all its departments work for the Mayor and City Council, to adhere to the city's comprehensive plan, and within budget and levy cycles and staffing constraints that have been in place for a long time.

52 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • I love that we have so many community centers in the city. I'd love for them to have better hours covering the many different needs of people. I'd love to see equitable use of time, space, and lines for all sports and not just basketball. Especially for womens and LGBTQ adult sports such as roller derby. • The counter staff at Loyal Heights and Ballard are very friendly and helpful. Don't enjoy the way Pickleball court time gets the short straw with SPR and their allotment of activity time at various centers. Latest case in point is the way that summer hours were bumped at Yesler Community Center. • Coleman Pool is awesome in the summer! • I agree! More sessions at coleman pool -- and maybe a sunset swim? -- would be great. More of this good thing, please! • I also love Colman, but wish it was a bit more'senior friendly' during lap swim time, with walk-in steps and a separate exercise area, like other pools in the system have. • Dr. Hudson is very sweet and kind. My son has the pleasure of being under her leadership at his current day camp. • "I love how the parks and recreation department is organizing classes to teach seniors how to play pickleball, and how it has recently added skills and drills classes. • It's too bad that there is such a large demand for the intro classes that there are often more participants than can fit on the courts. The amazing volunteer instructor handles this very gracefully but it is not ideal for anyone. • It would also be nice to have an extra hour of novice-only play time after each intro class session, so beginners can get more time playing with other beginners. • Could the Parks and Recreation department figure out how many people are actually attending the indoor pickleball sessions currently provided by Lifelong Recreation? How do you evaluate the service you provide without attendance data? Any location that has more than 6 or 8 participants per pickleball court is overcrowded and needs to be expanded. Any location that has fewer than 4 participants per pickleball court needs to be advertised." • I love SPR's focus on the community, programming for diverse groups, and investment in our environment. I'd love to see more openness to new sports and updating practices to meet evolving needs. • Thank you for asking the public what activities and community usage we would like to see the SPR focus on in the future. My answer would be PICKLEBALL!! I would love to see more dedicated pickleball outdoor courts, ideally covered and lighted. Also, more indoor pickleball court time at the Community Centers. As a retiree, Pickleball has changed my life. I'm able to stay active and fit with a sport that encourages multi-generational social interactions. Also, it's a sport that can be played as you age and it's easy to show up and quickly be invited in to play with others as a drop-in, no need to organize players ahead of time. • Thank you for your consideration. (From Jamie M, shared from partner's FB account) • More & longer swim sessions, please! Especially in the summer months! • How about what do we want to see less of? Drug use, feces, tents... 7/21/19 - FB - what free • More indoor pickleball times for working people, after 4pm. We have such a big drop in activities would pickleball community in Seattle and not enough place to play especially during the you like to see more of in rainy and winter season. Increasing and adding more indoor playing times at the seattle's community community centers all around Seattle will be great. Dedicated pickleball courts with centers? chain link fences, painted lines and outdoor lights are still desperately needed. Seattle Parks and Rec should check out the Pickleball games being played at Greenlake tennis courts every Saturday and Sunday and see how much enjoyment it brings to all people, families and communities of all ages. Please check it out and hear all of us. 53 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II • More evening indoor pickleball for the working population. When Seattle winter turns dark and wet it would be great to have some indoor options for this diverse community of players. Thanks for considering! • Pickleball during the morning hours is great for seniors and non-working adults, and leaves in the dark all the working adults and young people who only then get to play on the weekends. If the weather is good. Pickleball is an all-ages, diverse abilities and skills sport, and as long as there is only indoor pickleball in the mornings, you’re shutting out a big part of the community. • I would love more drop in pickleball times during the winter or rainy season. It's difficult to play when it's dark at 5PM and rainy but there aren't enough options for play for people that work during regular business hours. Outside of that, still looking to get a dedicated pickleball facility in the longer term. • More recreational-only pickleball. More intermediate-only pickleball. More advanced-only pickleball. • More drop in time in the evenings for pickleball. When it’s dark and rainy we don’t have anywhere to play! • More beginner-only pickleball right after the intro-to-pickleball classes. • More indoor pickleball during the cold dark months after 5pm (for those of us who work full time). It helps us socialize, exercise, and have fun through the darkest months of the year. • More Pickleball times both indoor and outdoor, with more dedicated Pickleball courts. • Board games would be amazing! My nine-year-old is really into chess and it would be fun to play with the community. 殺 • Thank you for asking the public what activities and community usage we would like to see the SPR focus on in the future. My answer would be PICKLEBALL!! I would love to see more dedicated pickleball outdoor courts, ideally covered and lighted. Also, more indoor pickleball court time at the Community Centers.

(From Jamie M, shared from partner's FB page) • More pickleball times in the evening hours (especially in the winter) for those who work full time. • "Both! My friends and I like to play card and board games and are constantly needing locations to play! We often are denied because many places require you to buy food to use their tables. • We also practice martial arts on our own as we are experienced and don’t need to pay someone else a membership fee. But having an indoor place to practice would be great, so having space to do this would be great as opposed to a strict “it’s basketball time only right now”."

• I am very interested in finding a place to construct a disc golf course. I believe that the West Duwamish greenbelt provides a terrific location for a world class design. That greenbelt while serving as an anchor to soil and a sponge to collect water can also provide recreation. Disc golf has a low impact on the land as it doesn't require fertilizer for lush green fairways. I know there is a push to remove non native species of plants from our greenbelts and you can't find a more motivated group of volunteers to support that goal than the disc golf community. If this isn't a real good idea think about adding a pay to play option at the 3 local traditional golf courses. I know that West Seattle Golf Course has the room that would have a 54 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II minimum of impact on the course and could also be a source of income for the city. I am available to discuss this with anyone interested in pursuing this goal. • Seattle Parks and Recreation and Councilmember Debora Juarez- Bathrooms fixed this month at Maple Leaf Park! Please!! The bathrooms have been out since January. Why is it taking so long? Why are there no updates regarding completion date and schedule specifics? Many families use this park. Also, since the creation of the Seattle Parks District brought more money to the parks and more taxes to support this, it’s hard to understand why this is taking so long to fix. • Other activities like community choirs.. • All Senior friendly: Tai chi, yoga, music (ukulele), conditioning dance classes (West African, modern, ballet, Latin); mid-day walking groups. • I definitely would like to see a board game night at the Northgate Community Center.

Preferably with lights and cover. • Covered lighted dedicated pickleball courts • I would love to see a Disc Golf course in Lincoln Park in West Seattle • Outdoor showers at the Green Lake beach outside Rec Center. Spraypark near playground that can also be used by sports camp participants on hot days. • How about an extra salt water pool? Look at the pool designs in some of the surrounding suburbs. Lynnwood has an awsome pool, lots of slides and fun bits for the youngsters. In fact, I think we need our rec centers to generally be more like the Rainier Beach.

Pickleball conversion lines on existing courts. • Cover the reservoir in NE Seattle on 75th and 15th and make it a park for families to enjoy. • Pool in summer skating rink in winter. • how about a roof top pool in downtown seattle? a little oasis for the public. • Child and parent swings (there’s none in Seattle) and shade at playgrounds so that the play structures are used rain or shine • Places for skating, indoors.

Perhaps the next one on Beacon Hill (about half-way between Medgar Evers and Rainier Beach)? • 2nd pools like Rainer Beach and cover play areas for rain! • Make wading pools skateable when not in use, per the Citywide Skatepark Plan. • Absolutely.

If Seattle doesn't get it into gear, it's only going to get worse as more demand and no supply is going to make the city look foolish. This sport is growing by leaps and bounds--the fastest growing sport in the US. Come out to East Green Lake on a Saturday or Sunday morning to see for yourself. We'll loan you paddles and teach you the game while we're at it. • Great idea re: the covered area rental process. Also: more roller derby programming at community centers with track lines (my team just lost an away game pretty badly because we aren’t used to having track lines and our skills just aren’t as good consequently ), an indoor skate park, more community gardens, and at least one more covered picnic area at Jefferson Park

Date: Email Body: 5/31/19 Hello,

Superintendent Jesus told us about these events and we would like more information please:

“Parks & Rec Fest: Free events at Green Lake and Yesler Terrace parks. This will be a chance to connect with and learn about SPR services and help create a vision for the future.”

These are long events from 10am-3pm. At some point will there be a forum to discuss community centers and the future? With whom? Or will this just be a less formal event where everyone is meandering about and mingling with staff from SPR?

Thank you, Amy 6/12/19 Why isn’t it listed here: https://www.seattle.gov/services-and-information/parks-recreation-and-attractions

We need more piers, both salt and freshwater. They should be clear of rocks, offer shade and have restrooms close by. A ‘fish on!’ type cafe or coffee shop selling licenses would be great. One or two at Lake Union (not smouthered with sunbathers – make shaded to prevent sunbathers), one along canal – not buried with boats) and more on Seattle side of Lake Wash. Some cities have large ‘fishing center’ designed for groups of kids, families, singles. Think of a large open boathouse (roofed, fish like shade too) with several finger piers, restrooms and cafe. They are very popular in other cities. An up to date listing of current piers (both fresh and saltwater) would be great. I found very little about rec. Fishing on the Parks website. Give us some help. Deb White 6/20/19 am writing to urge you to reject any proposal to convert golf course property for non-park uses such as housing or transit right of way. Municipal golf courses are parks. I regularly play the Seattle golf courses and mostly play Jackson Park close to my home in View Ridge with my son and my daughter. Like many others in our fine city, country club membership or private courses are out of reach for my family and me. I use other parks frequently for recreation and leisure, especially Magnussen Park.

I have seen some disheartening newspaper stories and comments online that golf is elitist and Seattle courses should be closed down. My experience playing the city courses is that it is the exact opposite. One meets people of all colors, professions and age groups. Many seniors enjoying the city courses for low senior rates. Kids from very mixed backgrounds get introduced to a great sport by the First Tee organization that has chapters at all city courses (The First Tee of Greater Seattle – introducing golf to young people).

Our daughter has done the first tee and loved the experience. I rarely anywhere meet such diverse groups of people and enjoy 4-5 hours with them walking, talking and hitting a small ball once in a while. Next to not having the ability to play anymore without city courses I also do not know how/where I could meet such a group of people to chat and get to know outside of a golf course. Municipal golf offers access to residents at reasonable rates.

Like other parks and city activities, e.g., swimming, golf courses are used by a wide variety of residents – young, old, female, make and all ethnicities. The open space is a breath of fresh air in a

93 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II city that is ever increasing in density. My family and I value this recreation opportunity and urge you to not only protect our golf courses but also invest in them for future generation.

Sincerely, Oliver Rutz 6/22/19

6/24/19 Mr. Aguirre, I am writing to oppose your attempt to reduce hours of operation at our community centers. Why are you doing this? Is this part of your long-time plan to privatize our facilities? These cuts are not in the community’s best interest. For instance, seniors who have been taking classes at 8 AM will no longer be able to access the building at the early hour. Many of the CCs will not open until 10 AM or later. Moving senior activities to later in the day, may force competition for activity space with younger users. Everybody needs the community centers and what they provide for our citizens.

This new plan will also result in classes being offered only during the limited hours of operation.

When the economy crashed in 2007-2008, the city reduced the hours of community center operations. In the last decade of prosperity, City Council has not funded a restoration of the community center hours of operation pre-crash. In the intervening years, Seattle has grown by more than 120,000 new residents. Community center staff have done their best to address the needs of our residents with cuts in staffing over the last decade. This cannot continue: we will have staff burnout and possibly lose experienced and talented people.

Please start managing our parks and community centers for the benefit of the community.

Susan Helf Seattle 6/25/19 I just wanted to express concern in the reduction of hours. The Magnolia Community Center is an important part of the daily lives of many Seattle citizens living in Magnolia. To reduce the hours will certainly have a negative impact.

Barbara Bernard 6/25/19 The community centers should be open 24/7

Do not cut the hours of this important community resource.

Sara Orr 6/25/19 To whom it may concern: As a resident of Magnolia and parent of 2 young children I frequently use the services of the Magnolia community center, Queen Anne and Ballard community centers bc of the diverse programs they offered. I disagree with plans to reduce funding for these centers as they have a large negative impact on each of these neighborhoods. 94 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II Sincerely, Sarah Kontopoulos 98199 6/25/19 I’m writing to express my concern about the Parks dept. proposal to reduce community center operations. It’s time to return community center operational hours to pre 2008 scheduling. In the past 10 years, Seattle has grown by more than 120,000 new residents, and it is nonsensical to further cut hours in the face of such a growing need.

In addition, I understand that the Parks dept. is considering cutting back on pickle ball access. I’m a senior pickle ball player. At my age this is a safe and healthy activity that helps me and many other senior and elderly players maintain a vibrant older age. When we oldsters are healthy, we cost society less. Adequate access to pickle ball courts is a good social investment. In fact community centers for all is a good social investment since they help build and maintain healthy communities, including offering teenagers safe and healthy activities.

Cutting funding, hours, and access for our community centers is a “penny wise pound foolish” decision. Instead, please bring back full scheduling and staffing for the centers Judith Yarrow 6/25/19 I strongly urge you and the Strategic Planning Committee to consider restoring Community center hours to pre budget cuts over 10 years ago. The economy has greatly improved and the number of program participants has drastically increased. The 50 and over age group is increasing at every center, pickleball being the number one reason. The community centers not only provide a safe place for physical activities, it is a source of much needed social time for seniors. With the decrease in hours and changing of schedules, many seniors will be forced to stay home and become isolated. Thank you for your time and please restore hours and dollars to the community centers. Valerie Wells Pickleball player at Rainier and VanAsselt 6/25/19 We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation around strategic planning, and in particular, hearing the broader vision and giving feedback on how that vision addresses (or not) the needs and opportunities for the Alki Community Center. While I’m sure the list of community centers lobbying for future funding is getting long, we want to ensure that Seattle Parks does not miss the unique opportunity of partnering with SPS on a join project to rebuild both the Elementary School and the Community Center which sit together on the same general property (the school rebuild has already been approved as part of BexV levy).

Thanks for making this session available; we’ll see you on Wednesday.

Cheers! -Alki CC Advisory Council 6/25/19 I was told that hours at the magnolia community center will be cut in sept. Please don’t do that! Our family relies on our community center we need it!. Thanks

~Amy G, Magnolia. 6/25/19 Please reconsider cutting the hours at Magnolia Community Center and others. These centers serve as safe, easily accessible spaces for learning, practicing skills and meetings of all sorts. The community centers should remain just that. 6/25/19 Community Center’s are vital to our neighborhoods. Please do not reduce the hours. -- Cressida Slote 6/25/19 Please please do not cut community center hours

Ashleigh Walls 6/25/19 Hello,

The early morning toddler gym hours and weekend toddler gym hours have been essential for our active family of 2 toddlers. We are so reliant on them that we attend the toddler gym at Magnolia, Queen Anne, and Ballard. Please consider not removing these early morning opening hours and toddler gym on weekends.

Thank you,

Andrea Anthony 6/25/19 Please don’t cut hours at the Seattle Community Centers. These CCs offer vital services that people enjoy and are renewed by. In addition CC employees deserve to be paid what they agreed to, when they were hired on.

Thank you for considering this request.

Sincerely,

Delene DeForest-Dale 6/25/19 This alarming news of a reduction of hours is very bad news for those of us who use these facilities and programs. Please rectify this. Thank you Shane Wyatt’s 6/26/19 I use the QA community center on a regular basis. Please DO NOT cut the hours!

Chris Harthorne 6/26/19 Dear Sir or Ma’am,

I’m writing to ask you to reconsider reducing the hours at community centers around Seattle. At present the hours at these centers are already very limited. These centers provide crucial services to these communities and need to be kept open. I would ask that if you are considering changing the hours at the centers that you request public feedback and develop a plan to optimize the hours to increase use, vice simply cutting them.

Regards, Will Chapman 6/26/19 Please do not cut the 8am hours at the magnolia community center. This is an important hour for Monday and Friday classes for seniors. Thank you, Jim and Cherie Williams

6/26/19 To Whom It May Concern: A number of people who use the ceramics studios at the Queen Anne and Magnolia Community Centers have expressed concerns about recently announced closures of the recreation centers on evenings and weekends. We are still in the process of gathering signatures, but are forwarding our petition to you at this time, with the understanding that the issue is about to be deliberated soon as part of the strategic plan planning process.

Thank you for considering our concerns.

6/26/19 Please cut funding from other sources and keep community centers open. Close them now and open more juvenile centers later?

97 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II would be lost without that outlet.

Thanks,

Susan Blake 6/26/19 To whom it may concern:

Community centers are one of the few public indoor places where kids in these neighborhoods can hang out unless they are enrolled at certain camps. In one of the most prosperous cities in the country, cutting hours at these institutions makes no sense and is just another example of misplaced priorities. I have no doubt that the vast majority of people living in these neighborhoods share the same view.

Dave Shatz 2811 W Crockett St. 6/26/19 Community centers are a vital part of our neighborhoods. Children need safe spaces to be, and parents needs to know there are safe spaces their children can play. Cutting programs that impact kids and families will have a lasting negative impact.

The only caveat to this request would be if community centers in lower income and black and brown neighborhoods in our city would benefit from these community center cuts- then I- as a parent in Magnolia- would be okay with this. I think we need to do what we can to share the resources in the city with neighborhoods that have been systematically marginalized, under resourced, or not given the same rights and privileges of wealthier communities in Seattle.

Please, do not cut community programs for any child and families! Katey 6/26/19 Please do not cut the hours. How can it be a Community center if the community can’t use it.

Thank you- Kim 6/26/19 Hi. I understand you are strongly considering a reduction in hours for the Magnolia and Queen Anne Community Centers.

I am a strong supporter of the community centers in general and the pottery program in particular, having taken classes continuously at the Magnolia Community Center for seven years.

In the past year, the class prices have basically doubled and the hours are either reduced or continually threatened to be reduced. We need more hours, not fewer. We are paying about the same as other pottery venues which allow 24/7 access to their studios. While that is not feasible, I am requesting that the community centers remain open until 9 pm nightly and on Saturdays from about 9-5. It’s been many years since we had Sunday hours, but that would be lovely.

It is very hard for working people to get to the community center before 6 pm on weekdays.

In addition to my use of the community center for pottery, my daughter went there for child care and camps for many years. I also swim at the Queen Anne Pool.

In my opinion, the community centers need to be open for the community to use them. Summers are when kids need places to go. The magnolia community center used to have an amazing teen program and remain open until 11 pm on weekends!

98 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II I’m a 52 year-old working female, and I’ve lived in Magnolia for 27 years. Please don’t drive people away but making the community centers so inaccessible that people are forced to find other alternatives.

Thank you for your consideration. Beth Foss 6/26/19 Please do not cut hours as proposed for September. Reconsider the importance of community centers in maintaining cohesive neighborhoods, providing accessible services, information and activities to local residents of all ages. Community centers are focal venues worthy of our tax dollars. Neighborhood welfare and stability is important! Regards, Linda Behrens 6/26/19 Please do not cut hours of operation from Magnolia Community Center—or any other centers. These are the hearts of our neighborhoods throughout the city.

Lynn Hogan 6/26/19 You all should be ashamed of yourselves. The purpose of our taxes is to fund vital services and infrastructure, not your pet projects. Community centers play an important role in youth development and we pay a lot of money to fund these. Stop wasting our money paying drug addicts to shoot up. That is tantamount to murder. Us parents do not support that. Also, stop destroying this once beautiful city by enabling the criminal homeless population from around the country. Stop destroying our streets and creating road hazards with these ridiculous bike lanes and concrete barriers. SDOT should be disbanded and actual engineers hired in their stead.

Fully fund our community centers. Stop stealing our money.

Best,

A lifelong Seattle resident and tax payer. 6/26/19 Hi there,

I’d writing to ask you to please keep Magnolia & Queen Anne (and all community centers, really), open evenings until 9pm and weekends for those of us who work regular business hours so we can try to afford to live here in this fine city and also have access to enrichment outside of work. I’ve been taking pottery class at Magnolia for years now and love the relaxed vibe and space. Recently, however, I’ve not been able to have any studio hours on Saturday, which limits the studio to being open only until 8 pm during the week and only available when there is not another class. And, I hear more cuts are in the works.

Please consider the working adults. So often these centers are catered to kids and/or seniors but those of us who are actually out and working to earn a living and take care of everyone else need some time, too. So please, keep the centers open in the evenings on weekdays and on the weekends.

Thank you, Jen Stewart 6/26/19 To whom it may concern,

We have just been appalled to learn about the upcoming plan to reduce Community Center hours and would like to register objection to this proposal.

99 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II Reduction to the Magnolia Community Center hours is of particular concern to my daughter and I as we thoroughly enjoy making use of the pottery studio. We attend classes and are very appreciative of the opportunity to learn ceramics in our local community and practice our developing skills during open studio time. Reducing hours will be very detrimental to all the pottery students who attend school or work during the day and who rely on being able to practice and complete time sensitive ceramic projects outside business hours and on Saturdays.

Open gym, toddler time and other drop-in services are a much needed and welcome resource for many.

I’m also concerned that this proposal seems to be affecting a cluster of Community Centers in what is thought of as more affluent less diverse areas of Seattle. Magnolia, Queen Anne, Ballard and Loyal Heights appreciate and need community services too.

Generally reducing hours and shutting the doors on Saturdays will be a blow and send a message to Magnolia that we are not considered worthy of community services.

Community Centers should be accessible to all in the community, and the plan to reduce hours severely restricts this.

I sincerely hope that this proposal will be reconsidered.

Thank you for your time and attention,

-Kay Downes-Allen -Beatrice Allen 6/26/19 >> I went to a Friends of Greenlake Meeting where a presenter showed slides of the path and buffer zone between the water and the path through the years and the trail has been drastically widened since its creation. The protective buffer zone where birds nest and fish and turtles hide is now barely there anymore. It’s riddled with invasive weeds and there are not many safe quiet spaces for the critters. Do you have any plans to help re-nature greenlake? >> >> Also, I swim there almost year round and the water is getting pretty mucky. It’s probably the muckiest, earliest this year than I’ve ever experienced in the 20 years I’ve swam there. Do you treat the plants and grasses surrounding the lake with chemicals? If so, have you considered a more water friendly plan? Do you have plans to address the water quality as the city has grown and the “nature” in the park has lessened? >> >> Thanks, >> Diedra Roesijadi >> (Seattle resident 23 years) 6/26/19 Please do not cut hours to Queen Anne, Magnolia, Ballard, and Loyal Heights Community Centers in September. Know that this will be the start to dilute the our community centers, and we need them more then ever, especially with all the new people that are moving to Seattle, and Seattle is the fastest growing city in the USA right now. If anything we should be adding services to help serve the over crowded schools. Thank-you for consideration in this manner! Cheryl Kuczek 6/26/19 Please restore hours for Community Centers!!! 6/26/19 I am writing in regards to the reduction of hours at the Magnolia Community Center.

100 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II

The reduction in hours at the center will make it nearly impossible for working parents, like me, to utilize the center. One of the core tenants of the Seattle Parks and Recreation department’s mission is to promote a sense of community. The pottery room and the community I have built through the classes at the center have been incredible. The lack of weekend hours and reduction in weekday hours has a significant impact on our ability to utilize the pottery studio at the center. Unfortunately, because of the lack of open studio time available, many people who have used this center for years are now being forced to find other art studios to make pottery. While I would love to continue to support and grow my Magnolia pottery community that I have grown to love, this reduction in hours may mean that I too, will have to seek other options if I want to continue this passion.

Please re-consider the re-allocation on funds to allow the center to offer weekend hours for the remainder of 2019.

Thank you! Amy Turcinov Magnolia resident 6/26/19 Please look at your priorities as far as money allocation for Seattle Citizens. These are places that all people regardless of income can gather and use. Our community centers bring people together in a positive way and I believe they help in many direct and indirect ways for public safety and well being. There must be some way to find funds and keep the same hours! Mary Herche 6/26/19 Please restore Magnolia community center hours to the longer hours for our neighborhood

Thank you

-Cheryl 6/26/19 To Whom it May Concern,

I just learned that you are planning to cut the hours of the Queen Anne and Magnolia Community Centers. As a child with a teenager, I strongly urge you to reconsider. The Community Centers serve as a hub for young and old to enjoy. My son frequently uses the basketball courts and facilities and we see it as a safe and constructive place for him and his friends to congregate and play. In a city where the weather often prohibits outdoor recreation and options for youth are limited, the community center services are essential. We currently lament that the Centers are not open on Sunday; further reducing the hours will only tempt mischievous and laziness. Our children need safe places to socialize and exercise. I urge you not to reduce the hours of the Community Center.

Thank you for your assistance on this issue.

Sincerely, Sumi 6/28/19 Please do not reduce hours or services currently provided by the Magnolia Community Center. We need the center for our children, elderly, and Moms and Dads. Thank you, Janyce Fink 6/29/19 To whom it may concern,

101 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II I’m writing to express my interest in a community center in Licton Springs as part of the strategic plan development. Our neighborhood currently does not have any public indoor meeting spaces and it poses a challenge for our neighborhood groups. Additionally, I would love to see a dog park be put in Northgate or Licton Springs.

Thank you, Amanda Crosley

Thank you, Secret Ford 6/30/19 Please review your plans and grant 58 hours per week to Magnolia, Queen Anne, Ballard and Loyal Heights Community Centers

When city residents head outdoors during the long, warm days and evenings of summer, it is sensible for the Metropolitan Parks District to have fewer open hours at District 7 (Magnolia and Queen Anne) and District 6 (Ballard and Loyal Heights) Community Centers. But as September brings ‘back to school’ September also brings more activities at Community Centers.

Why then does it make sense to keep the same summer hours (50 hours per week)? In short order practice for basketball season will begin. QACC alone has had 26 teams in the fall/winter. Are they going to be happy with fewer hours to practice and play, or will they lobby for daytime hours to be cut and redirected for them? Will seniors exercise programs including exercise for those with arthritis as well as strength training, Tai Chi participants, pottery classes, and on and on face the chopping block? Every program is important to each participant! Most programs are so popular that they have waiting lists!

With 58 hours a week, not only will all participants have an equal chance at these Community Centers, but there could also be 5 open hours on Saturday (10-3) for hip hop groups, open gym, drop-in pottery and perhaps toddler play time. Money – Friday hours could be something like this M-W 10-9, T-Th 9.30-9, Friday 10-6.

102 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II When we voted in the Metropolitan Parks District several years ago, residents certainly did not expect less from the Parks Department. And the really awful thing about this planned reduction in hours is this – is what is going into the Parks Strategic Plan—a multi-year document.

Please do the right thing by all community users at the four centers.

Thanks,

martha tofferli magnolia and participant at QACC 7/1/19 Hello, I am the parent of a roller derby athlete (age 10), and my husband and I play recreationally also. I don’t understand why all of the leagues are having to fight so hard for equal gym time within our city. It’s a myth that skates and tape ruin gym floors! Heck, paint on some lines if it’s an issue.

This is a predominately female sport (although men are also participants), and it feels like a blatant attack against Title IX that derby and the players is being so poorly treated by our city.

My child is a 4th generation Seattleite. Let’s return to the progressive values of Seattle and give more time, space and energy to roller derby.

Thank you, Jovita Carpenter 7/1/19 I would love Parks and Rec to have more roller derby venues. The sport saved my life. Sounds overdramatic but it changed my life from a not so positive one to a life of potential I didn’t even know I had. I also have volunteered my time for the last 9 years in teaching new skaters how to skate so they can go on the play derby. I’m not the only one that derby has help and keeps on helping. Please consider backing this powerful women’s sport.

Thank you and kind regards, Stormy 7/2/19 Dear Jesus and Community Center Committee Members,

Please do not change playing hours for seniors to afternoons for following reasons:

1) Traffic is terrible in the afternoons! 2) Seniors become tired in the afternoons. 3) Less gang activities during morning hours. 4) Scared to go out after 2 p.m.

We would be happy to pay a small charge every time we play. We, seniors, need the exercise!

Thank you! Jane Tsuboi – age 82 years old (Play pickleball at Van Asselt Community Center) 7/2/19 Roller derby please! It’s an empowering, fun, athletic, inclusive community sport for all ages

7/4/19 As leaders of Seattle Parks & Rec I want to thank you for the opportunity for my wife and I to learn and play pickle ball. It is a great activity for people of all ages to get exercise and be social. However since I started a year ago it has become clear that additional times and locations

103 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II are needed. Every CC that I visit has many people waiting to play, even when the rest of the building is unused. Thanks again and please expand pickle ball opportunities. 7/5/19 I am writing to support your consideration of dedicated courts for pickleball and increased play time both indoors and outdoors throughout the city. As an active member of Seattle Metro Pickleball Association, I play 2-3 times per week, primarily at the West Seattle facilities at Delridge, High Point, and Hiawatha Community Centers. Typically more people show up than can play at one time, and we could use additional hours and courts especially to give seniors the benefits of recreation, socialization, and lifelong learning that are important to our health and well-being as Seattle residents. I am concerned that with community centers terminating non-public programs at the beginning of 2020, there will be even fewer opportunities for this fun, fitness, and camaraderie to take place. Our sport is growing rapidly, and in order to attract the next generation of players, we need to have facilities and hours grow commensurate with pickleball’s popularity.

Thank you for this opportunity to provide input, Anne Adams 7/6/19 I would like to see more pickleball facilities. Even if you paint pickleball lines on existing tennis courts and provide loaner pickleball nets that would be great. Or you can take an existing tennis court and make it into 2 pickleball courts,

Thank you for your consideration,

Lee Haworth 7/7/16 Pickleball to me is very important as the players I have met at various community centers is something I look forward to. I have also enjoyed the summer months and the outdoor lined courts that Seattle Parks & Recreation has made available to all of us. Could the Lower Woodland Lighted courts also have some of the tennis courts lined also. The normal hours that we play in the Fall, Winter and Spring should not be changed as they have worked very well for all of us these past few years. 7/7/19 There are rumblings in the pickleball community about pending cuts in the Seattle Parks and Recreation budget for pickleball. This would be a shame as pickleball is the fastest growing sport amongst the general population, and especially amongst the senior population. I invite someone from the department to visit Delridge CC on Monday and Wednesday mornings, and Hiawatha CC on Friday morning, to hear the laughter from play coming from the three courts that have been set up for pickleball. Normally we have people waiting to play.

If anything, I stress the need for more opportunities to play. On nice days in the summer, we play on the marked for pickleball outdoor tennis courts. These are not the best for playing, but it works. On only a few occasions have we ever seen tennis players show up. Dedicated pickleball courts would be ideal. Other cities I know have taken steps to do just that, and it has been a huge success.

So anyway, I know the budget is tight, but don’t forget us pickleballers in your decisions.

Thanks

Allan Peach

7/7/19 Dear Superintendent Aquirre:

As a baby boomer pickleball has become a very important part of my life. It represents the largest part of my physical health and also has a significant social aspect. I hope during upcoming budget

104 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II meetings pickleball is an activity that is expanded and not reduced. Thank you. V/R Bob Perez 7/7/19 I was so distraught to hear that we may lose valuable time for pickleball, the most inclusive, fastest growing sport in America. I am an introvert and have to push myself to get out and meet people. I have found a community of wonderful friends all over the city who welcomed me even when I could hardly play. I now look forward to playing somewhere 3-5 days/ week. It is a great way to get exercise, socialize, and have fun. We wait to play most times because of the demand. We need MORE time and MORE dedicated pickleball courts both indoors and outdoors. Please, please add more and not less. Sincerely, Cynthia Jolly 7/7/19 Pickleball is growing by leapsvand bounds! Please continue and expand playing times at Community Centers. Thanks.

7/7/19 Dear Mr. Aguirre, You just come to my attention that there may be a plan to effectively reduce the amount of open pickleball play at Seattle Parks and Recreation. I’m quite disturbed by this news because I, and hundreds of other people, take part in the Pickleball open play at the Seattle Parks and Recreation Community Centers daily. I play with people of all ages, of all colors and all abilities. As you may know pickleball is growing nationally by 4% a year.

I’m sure there are many conflicting needs that Seattle Parks and Recreation is trying to juggle. However, I was heartened when I went to the event in Green Lake this spring that the Pickleball jar was the highest filled jar reflecting the most support of all of the activities that people were asked to vote on.

The point is it’s a great game and so far Seattle Parks and Recreation has been a great source of free or low-cost play for many of us. Reducing hours cutting staffing or other compromises to the open Pickleball play, in my opinion goes against everything that Seattle Parks and Recreation stands for. My hope is that things can be juggled and there will be no reduction, instead, rather an increase, in pickleball play opportunities for the citizens of Seattle.

Thank you very much feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Virginia 7/7/19 Gentlemen; I received an email today that confuses me and leads me to believe that community center hours for pickleball will be severely cut effective January of 2020. I hear that in January of 2020 SPR plans to terminate or severely reduce all non-public programs, including pickleball, that take place at various community centers during public hours. What are the public hours and what are public/nonpublic programs? The public, non-public definitions and the classifications of pickleball, Zumba and yoga leave me with questions. At a time when we pickleball players are looking for more time and places to play this comes up as a dagger to our heart. Our numbers are growing quickly. Just last month we had to make SPR aware of pickleball to be counted as needing more support from SPR. The players and game of pickleball is attracting considerable attention across the country and more importantly here is Seattle. We are finding it very difficult to get court time as there are many more players and few courts to play.

For myself and many of those that I play with who are looking for exercise, socializing, comradery and fun, I seem to see SPR moving in the opposite direction in cutting or eliminating time. We like pickleball because many of the other sports cost too much or are too physically demanding. With 105 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II pickleball I can always find people who are of the same playing levels. During the games we socialize and have fun while we exercise. I am seventy three years old and I like to play in the late morning hours or early afternoon. I want to stay off the streets during rush hours and I want to leave evening or very early hours to those that still work. This seems like the best time to play and the best use of facilities. Pickleball is a fast growing sport. Please don’t cut availability for public places to play pickleball. We are having significant problems finding enough courts and time/places to play . The sport is attracting many new players as people find it easy to pick up and not too physically demanding. I would like to see many more places and even more courts just for pickleball. Please, more pickleball courts and more time for more people. Steve Lorentzen

7/7/19 Families Ages 8-95 All nationalities Co-ed Social and fun and welcoming Cheap equipment I live In Bellevue and would be happy to pay to play at Rainier and high point. On Mercer island non -residents pay more than residents. Same in Bellevue. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the USA WE NEED MORE COURTS AND PLAY TIME, NOT LESS Kathryn Hardesty Devotee 7/7/19 Love the pickleball lines you’ve put out in some of the local parks (Delridge, for example).

We love to drop by for some pick-up Pickleball. So much fun and people are always asking what we’re playing because it’s super fun and accessible for all ages!

Thanks! Chelsea 7/8/19 I have been a Seattle resident for over 20 years. I have never used the community centers until I found a love for Pickleball. I play at the Highpoint and Southpark community centers 3 times a week. I have heard you are considering limiting the time allowed at the centers and could have a dramatic effect on the times, if any available for Pickleball. This has become a vital activity for seniors in our Community. When I play, there are 25-30 people who are using the facility. I would suggest you look at alternatives, perhaps charging a nominal fee to play instead of restricting our ability to plan. Also, there are tennis courts at Hiawatha that are barely used. Have you considered restriping some of those courts so more of us can play outside and take the pressure off of facility use? Please reconsider how you allocate time for senior activities.

Sincerely, Carol Frillman 7/8/19 Please, please, please do NOT reduce our pickleball time!!! I am a senior citizen who always votes for parks and recreation and depends on the community centers for my exercise. We are an amiable group who needs this for sanity and physical wellbeing. Please be advised that many of us are willing to pay to play!!! Thank you, Kathy Stevenson

106 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II 7/8/19 We understand the SPR plans, in 2020, to terminate non-public programs at community centers. It is our understanding this would include the very active and popular pickleball programs throughout most of the city whose tax paying citizens are participating in with great joy!

We are sure you are aware that pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the nation. Players in the community have worked hard to develop a relationship with SPR to open facilities, both indoors and outdoors, for access to the sport. Why your department would try to exclude programs, or at the least, not listen to your constituents to provide the activities at times that are reasonable and convenient for them seems counter to good public service. Hours of operation should fit the needs of the community, not the other way around. You should be adding, not reducing, the opportunities and work to accommodate the needs of all its citizens.

We realize there are many demands on the budget for supporting activities. Pickleball is a sport that all ages can play. Funding should be dedicated to rather than drawn off to other social needs for a sport that promotes exercise, use of the city courts and gyms, and brings people together using these facilities and seeing that their tax dollars are well used. There needs to be a solution to this issue by working with the Pickleball community to come to a better resolution.

Thank you for consideration to this matter that is important to the community.

Regards,

Mary Kirchner 7/8/19 Please, please, please do NOT reduce our pickleball time!!! I am a senior citizen who always votes for parks and recreation and depends on the community centers for my exercise. We are an amiable group who needs this for sanity and physical wellbeing. Please be advised that many of us are willing to pay to play!!! Thank you, Kathy Stevenson

7/8/19 Good evening, I just read through your strategic plan document and wanted to provide feedback. I have lately been spending a fair amount of time playing pickle ball at local tennis courts. Most of the time I am the only person out on the tennis courts as they are not being used for tennis. Pickle ball and tennis work very well together and can be leveraged to make use of the tennis courts that aren’t always being used. I would love to see more co-tennis and pickle ball opportunities like you have at Green Lake. These are a great way to make sure that the facilities are approachable for many different sports.

Sincerely, Karen Juhl 7/8/19 Over the last year myself and 14 friends have switched from playing tennis and squash to mostly or completely playing Pickleball. We would greatly appreciate more pickleball courts, both outdoors and indoors. Thanks.

Michael Utt 7/10/19 Good Day,

My name is Vicki Streit and I play pickle ball at several community centers in West Seattle. I have also taken pickle ball skills and drills classes at Highpoint and South Park Community Centers. I play Mon, Wed and Fridays at Delridge or Highpoint Community Centers. Average attendance is 24 at each location. We set up and take down the nets, monitor the gym for cleanup, donate/contribute to children activities sponsored by the center. We welcome new players and watch out for current

107 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II players. The oldest player is 92, the youngest players are in their late 50’s or early 60’s. Average age is between 70 to 80 years old. We have become friends doing other outside activities and helping each other out when needed. We are a community of active older adults.

It has been brought to my attention that Seattle Parks and Recreation wants to suspend pickle ball or move drop in playtimes to posted operating hours of each community center.

I am asking that this consideration to removed from the table for the following reasons.

Shorter hours for more people wanting to play pickle ball resulting in frustration of not enough play time. Children activities have the priority over adult programs with weather related issues. The gym is open and available in the mornings, the time that children are in school and times that adults would like to play.

There is nowhere else to play except outdoor at the Delridge Community Center in my area. Playing outdoor depends on the weather. Not today it is raining. You bring your own net. The surface is very hard on ankles and most players over 70 will not play outdoor for a higher fall risk. To play indoors we would need to drive to Kent to a private business and pay their fees. It is a much younger crowd and the play is too aggressive, not the community family that we currently have. For some it would be a hardship to drive the 40 minutes each way, pay their fees, play younger more aggressive players without the family/friend connection. We play pickle ball to have fun and enjoy each others company.

I voted for the levy to restore community center funding which included longer operating times. It is my understanding that not all community centers have seen this funding. Why?

As an older adult the community centers should be there for us just as much as the children programs. Yoga, Zumba and pickle ball are just some of the activities that we participate in. We want to be more active and be healthy.

I really like playing pickle ball. I really like playing at the community centers in the morning. I really like the feelings of community with my friends and the staff we have become a family.

Please do not take that away from us.

Vicki Streit 7/10/19 Mr. Aguirre,

I write on behalf of the Seattle Metro Pickleball Association to request a meeting with you the week of July 15th for the purpose of discussing the future of pickleball in the greater metropolitan area. One or two members of our board of directors would also likely attend. Prior efforts to reach you by telephone have been unsuccessful. Please advise what dates and times you have available. Thanks and best regards.

Respectfully,

Seattle Metro Pickleball Association Jerry Kindinger, President 7/13/19 I am a 71 year old woman, still in good enough condition to play Pickleball. I am always amazed to see how many folks at least 10 years older than me, out there enjoying themselves. I can always count on hearing lots of laughter and socializing. Can you think of any other place to find seniors enjoying life to its fullest??

108 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II Of course we all understand that there might be budget restraints. I have played in numerous other cities where their communities offer the same type of facilities, and ask that each senior player make a payment of some sort- be it $20.00 per year, or $2.00 per visit. As these pickle ball courts are always overflowing with us seniors, I would have to believe that all additional costs incurred would be more than amply made up- probably even making a profit. We implore you to use an alternative means in order to keep this fun and healthy sport available to seniors. It is great preventative medicine! Thank you. Nancy Nealon 7/14/19 I am a senior who loves to play pickleball. I play at community centers in West Seattle and the Rainier Valley. I have heard that some of these centers may be decreasing the times that we can play. There are a large number of seniors who love this game and I hope that you can help add playing times and venues ({both indoor and out) for us to use. It’s a very fast growing sport in our country.

Thank you. Carl Leatherman 7/15/19 Dear Sirs, In response to a rumor that the pickleball program, and others which may become restrictive under the Seattle Parks & Recreation agenda in the near future has prompted myself and others to defend those programs. The physical and social benefits derived from those senior exercise and the convenience at the community centers, especially when the kids are in school, is pretty obvious. I’ve seen pickleball grow quite rapidly in the entire region since I started playing in 2004. I hope that you two administrators will ensure that the program will continue and thrive under the Seattle Parks & Recreation guideline budget. Thank you 7/16/19 Dear Sirs: I am very concerned about rumored plans to cut back on community centers time available for non-public activities, ESPECIALLY Pickleball. As you are probably aware, pickleball is growing in popularity, and most time slots for it at community centers tend to become more and more crowded, as more people come to the game. The recreation and health benefits are essential to many Seattle citizens, not to mention great fun. Please do everything in your power to EXPAND pickleball opportunities in Seattle, more time slots in community centers, and more outdoor courts at more locations. This is important to a growing number of us, and we will greatly appreciate your efforts and support for pickleball in Seattle. Thank you.

Clifford Butler 7/16/19 Dear Mr. Aguirre, Please do not allow the reduction of time for indoor pickleball at the community centers. I am 51 years old and I have just started playing pickleball. The number of players is only increasing. I play regularly at High Point community center and Rainier Community Center. Please keep this vital program going to keep us all healthy! Thank you Lisa Corbin 7/16/19 I invite you to visit some of Seattle City community centers where pickleball is played. You will see how busy the courts are and how much fun everyone is having. Cities in many states have dedicated pickleball courts I play 2 – 3 times a week at High Point, Delridge, and other places. It is vital to my physical and social well-being.Please add more pickleball both indoor and outdoors rather than reducing it . It

109 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II spans all age groups. It would be important for the city to consider funding dedicated Pickleball courts at locations where there are many pickleball players. We are playing for free right now but in the past I never heard anyone complain about paying a slight fee. Thank you, Cris Kantor 7/16/19 We have heard a rumor that City officials are considering reducing the amount of time available for senior citizens to play Pickleball at Seattle’s community centers. I hope this is not true. Already, I wonder why the community centers are not open on the weekends. I suppose it has something to do with budgets but it seems like the community centers are an underused resource considering the real estate is there and the building is vacant so much of the time. Senior citizens need places we can meet for exercise and social interaction. There are no privately owned Pickleball facilities anywhere in the City, and only one small facility in Kent. We need these services and would be willing to pay a reasonable user fee just to be able to access them, both indoor and outdoor! Sharon E. Best 7/16/19 I am 72 years young, what keeps me that way ? Pickleball, please make sure you consider our seniors when making a budget decision this year. We have limited recreation opportunities, especially in the winter months. Thanks for your consideration, Steve Hess 7/16/19 Hello Parks and Recreation Administrators!

First I want to thank you for the many hours I have spent playing Pickleball in your Community Centers! I am 68 and started playing at 65. There is a saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” but I am here to prove that wrong——solely because of your programs—THANK YOU. Who would have thought that I would spend 3 mornings a week getting great exercise with a whole new group of friends. I didn’t even know where my Community Center was until I started playing Pickleball (Google Maps-yahoo). In retrospect I feel that the program offered at the Rec Centers precisely represents what a Community Center should be doing, attracting local citizens to participate in healthy, life long activities. I have now located and played at all of the following centers: High Point, Delridge, Hiawatha, Rainier, and South Park. I have played with people of all different races, ethnicities, and gender. The program has truly allowed me to see our city with a more comprehensive eye. I would like to see the Community Centers become even more vibrant ( an adjective often used to describe growth in our city).

I would like to share part of an an article in the Seattle Times by the FYI journalist, Gene Baulk. He states the following:

From 2010 to 2018, the county’s fastest-growing age group was people 60 to 79 years old. It increased by more than 100,00 people, for a growth rate of nearly 41%. This age group grew more than twice as fast as the population of the county as a whole.

He goes on to say—

…most of the increase in the 60-79 age group is surely from already established county residents who aged past 60 at some point during the decade.

I thought that last part was very interesting because it is likely that these senior citizens have been paying taxes all of their lives. Supporting schools, parks and libraries to make our city an outstanding place to reside. I know there are many areas that need your attention but I believe

110 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II that providing healthy activities for a group of citizens that have helped to create this amazing city should be a priority.

Thanks Again,

Kathleen Wessel 7/23/19 Pickleball!! Keep it going. Great. Pickleball doesn’t need to be free. We will pay. Lisa 7/23/19 Roller derby changed my life. I was a late bloomer and started skating at 46 years of age. It helped me become super fit after losing 100+ lbs, helped me through a difficult divorce, increased my self esteem, and was a safe space as a queer woman. I went on to coach junior’s, (one of which was my own daughter who skated for 8 years), and I watched these young people blossom into strong confident adults. Now my 13 yr old grandchild has been carrying on the tradition for the past 5 years. It’s such an empowering sport where EVERYONE is welcome; no matter your age, body type, gender, race, or class. Thanks for listening. -Lisa 7/24/19 I also look forward to an opportunity to partner with Seattle Parks and Recreation in discussing ways that we can expand Pickleball access for our citizens.

Jimi 7/25/19 I was at southpark yesterday, spoke to rhe staff, they would encourage you to reinstate a daily use fee, maybe $3 and $2 for seniors to help offset some of the costs, we had 20 players there . Open the courts for 3 hours. 3 times a week . Just a thought. Thanks for communicating 111ith me. Steve Hess

7/26/19 Hi, Thanks for researching pickleball and doing everything possible to keep it open at the community centers. Seniors and others need it for their health. Many of the seniors would be willing to pay, as they did in the past, in order to have access to pickleball at the community centers and outdoors. Drop in sometime and play; it’s great fun. Regards, Cris 9/1/19 Christopher, Strategic Planning Committee, and Parks Superintendent (please forward):

I am not sure if you had any role in finalizing the current Seattle Parks and Rec survey – but I found it to be one of the most restrictive and least comprehensive surveys that I have taken. Maybe you have not taken the survey with an historic or open space focus in mind, but if not, please take a look at the link below. First of all the format is incredibly focused – limiting a responder to directed answers and leaving no opportunity for additional comment (e.g. personally I don’t support any additional off-leash areas). Secondly, it is stacked in favor of recreation. Thirdly, it completely omits any reference to our unique Olmsted legacy, legacy parks, improved maintenance, formal viewpoints (a personal area of interest), and increased passive water access. It appears to be all about programming and recreation.

Hopefully you have more influence than the rest of us regular folks …….

Thanks for anything you can do to encourage better Parks planning.

111 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II Karen Daubert Former Park Board Member and Former Seattle Parks Foundation Executive Director 206-310-1792 9/3/19 Hello,

I am the chair of the Friends of the Troll’s Knoll, a local a community group dedicated to strengthening our neighborhood and enhancing the green space right-of-way on the east side of the Fremont Troll. This 1 acre right of way is located at 36th Ave N and Winslow Pl N and despite its prominence, the space has historically been neglected, overgrown and use for illegal activity. Despite a $685,000 grant in 2011 through the Seattle Parks and Green Spaces Levy to create a park which included both east and west, the east side was descoped due to lack of budgeting. The Troll’s Knoll park opened on the west side only in 2016 and our long term vision is to join the east with the west side, forming a unified park as was the original park plan.

I am reaching out to discuss the long term vision of the east side right of way and if this space can be included in the strategic plan. We feel that the descoping the east side when the original grant money was awarded was a large miss on the part of the city. This error has caused much churn and inequity in our community as we are left on the east side to deal with maintenance, encampment issues, dumping etc. which are not present on the west side. We have been working with SDOT for the previous 4 years and they are in line transferring this land to parks as they do not actively maintain or use this land.

What are the next steps to have the Troll’s Knoll Park expansion added to the strategic plan and remedy the oversight from the 2011 grant execution? Please let me know if you have any additional questions – I’ve attached the grant documentation from 2011 which was fully awarded but not fully executed.

Thanks,

Kaley 9/8/19 The survey was too long and cumbersome. I want more of all the things mentioned – garden paths, paved paths, covered areas, sports areas, BETTER BATHROOMS, and BETTER BATHROOMS.

Ever since I voted to have the parks come under a regional governance, I’ve been waiting for Green Lake to get new bathrooms. We were promised all kinds of things if this regional system was implemented and I have never heard of all the good things being done because of this change. I regret that I voted for it.

Green Lake is the MOST POPULAR park in Seattle and has the WORST BATHROOMS of almost any other parks I visit. I haven’t been in the new ones near the Bathhouse theater, but friends said they are not much different than before, just new.

The Green Lake bathrooms at the amphitheater area are a disgrace for a park that offers so much to so many Seattleites. My two cents would be to create bathrooms there such as COSTCO has with HAND WASHING TROUGHS and REGULAR UPKEEP. Out of all the park improvements mentioned in your survey – that’s what I want.

I love the parks, but most of them have horrible bathrooms. Especially my beloved Green Lake.

Stephanie Roche 9/11/19 Good morning,

112 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II Thanks for reaching out to the communities to ask for their input into the process to plan strategically for parks and open space. In addition to your online survey, I encourage you to take a serious look at a comprehensive, community-driven effort that focused in on the U District to plan holistically for parks and open space as the neighborhood becomes a high-rise area with buildings up to 320’.

No other neighborhood outside of contiguous downtown will be transformed more than the U District with the upzone approved in 2017, high-rise buildings going up already, light rail opening in 2021, and an approved campus master plan anticipating 3 million square feet of new built space. We must seriously consider the concurrencies promised in the Comprehensive Plan and urban village/center strategy to keep our dense neighborhood livable.

Please review the U District Parks Plan Update of 2015, and the related plans (below) for guidance. These plans reflect a distillation of significant community input that will greatly complement the online survey.

I have also included the original implementation plan with assignments for the Parks Plan, which was removed from the final document at the insistence of the former campus architect of the University of Washington. This was a mistake, as it condemned the document to a life on the shelf for the past four years.

We must take action now on the Parks Plan and we look to you to help us make the progress that the U District so desperately needs with our 5 acre (2 city block) deficit of public open space. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate on demonstrating to the city how density can work for all.

Regards,

Cory. 11/20/19 Last night Kathleen said the draft we discussed would be on-line today. (I think)

Bill Pickard 11/30/19 Dear SPR,

Your claim, in the draft of the 12 year strategic plan, that SPR offers 93 Pickleball courts is outrageous. It is a misleading and essentially false statement especially when made to appear comparable to the 140 tennis courts in the city as it is in the report.

Of the 93 Pickleball courts SPR claims, fewer than five of them are dedicated only to Pickleball (and those are not really usable for competitive play because they are so poorly designed) whereas every tennis court is dedicated to tennis.

The remaining are mostly badminton courts on which Pickleball can be played only at very limited, specific times and now with a poorly planned fee to pay at some of them. I hope the 93 does not include SPR’s lame Pickleball Pilot program where they painted low visibility lines on a few under utilized and poorly maintained tennis courts and then abandoned any further growth in Pickleball facilities for the foreseeable future.

If there actually were 93 dedicated Pickleball courts in Seattle I would be thrilled but at the rate SPR moves, the city wont get anywhere close to that number in my lifetime.

113 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II There are some lovely loftily goals in that strategic plan but sadly SPR has a long way to go to accomplish most of them.

Wishing you the best of luck in moving this forward,

Kathy Wehle, Seattle tax payer and Pickleball player who rarely plays because the very few courts are so overcrowded. 12/13/19 Dear Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Planners, The Seattle Metro Pickleball Association reviewed with great interest the November 6 draft version of the Seattle Parks and Recreation 2019 Strategic Plan. We were quite disturbed to see on page 6 of the plan, in the “What we offer” section, that you chose to state that you currently offer 140 outdoor tennis courts and 93 pickleball courts, without any further explanation. Here is the blurb in question:

While that statement might be factually correct as it pertains to tennis courts, it is completely misleading as it will make readers think that you currently offer roughly equivalent access to tennis and pickleball facilities, while in fact tennis playing opportunities greatly exceed pickleball playing opportunities as demonstrated in the following table. Tennis Pickleball Outdoor 125 dedicated tennis courts 0 dedicated pickleball courts 15 tennis courts shared with 28 pickleball courts shared with pickleball players. tennis players, tennis teams, tennis instructors, tennis camps. Nets provided. Nets rarely provided. Players need to bring and install their own pickleball net – an equity issue. Only 2 to 4 adjacent pickleball courts offered at any one venue, which is contrary to the social aspect of the sport. Indoor 20 dedicated tennis courts 0 dedicated pickleball courts 62 mostly badminton courts in multi-sport indoor gyms. (Badminton court lines only approximate pickleball court lines.) Over 2200 indoor tennis court About 320 indoor pickleball court hours per week available 7 days a hours a week available mostly week from early morning until Monday through Friday between late at night the hours of 10 am and 2 pm

This comparison provides a more accurate accounting of the generosity of facilities provided on behalf of tennis versus the paucity of actual pickleball courts.

114 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II We respectfully ask that you update the next draft of the Strategic Plan to make it unambiguously clear to the readers that you currently offer 145 dedicated tennis courts and 0 dedicated pickleball courts. Sincerely, The Seattle Metro Pickleball Association Board of Directors [email protected]

Q5. How can Seattle Parks and Recreation contribute to making Seattle a more livable, connected, and vibrant city for all its residents? Share your big idea!

Jul 28 2019 04:06 PM You guys do a great job, but Seattle can be a difficult city when it comes to making friends. Having more opportunities for fun sporting events would go a long way towards helping people connect. I played my first ever game of pickleball today and I'm totally hooked, but the Queen Anne Community Center only has courts available on Wednesday during the middle of the day. How is that possible? People work! Pickleball isn't just for senior citizens. Get people connected. That's what Seattle needs more of.

Jul 10 2019 10:18 PM Add more indoor and outdoor pickleball courts. There are more and more new players of all ages becoming interested in pickleball and courts are getting crowded and there are not enough options for evening play. This is a great sport for all different ages and making social connections. Adding a large venue with at least 12 courts would be great for tournaments, which are very popular among pickleball players.

Jul 09 2019 03:22 PM You’re doing such amazing work. Please continue funding recreation opportunities for children and adults with developmental disabilities. Please continue to grow this vital program are some of the most isolated people in our community.

Jul 09 2019 11:38 AM Keep open spaces such as golf courses. Don’t sell land as it’s good for future park uses.

Jul 05 2019 08:30 PM Create an 8-12 court pickleball site where people all ages can share and fun the year round. Part of it should be covered to encourage year round use, but pickleballers don't mind if there's a little chill in the air. This site doesn't need to be heated. It just needs a lid.

Jul 05 2019 08:19 PM Add more pickleball courts. Pickleball is a fast growing sport and there are new people starting to play all the time. Indoor/outdoor court spaces are lacking. Large complex with at least 8-12 courts would be great for tournaments which are very popular in pickleball.

Jul 02 2019 09:05 PM Accomodate the growing sport of pickleball by increasing the availability of pickleball courts both inside and outside. Jul 02 2019 09:30 AM More pickleball time slots, please! It's the fastest growing, most popular recreational sport and for good reason. Pickleball draws players from diverse economic and racial backgrounds. It appeals to all ages (people aged 14–91 regularly participate!). It's great exercise for the body and the mind. Participation builds community and, for seniors who participate, it's a way of fighting isolation.

Jun 30 2019 08:53 PM Create an Amy Yee Pickleball Center Jun 30 2019 12:46 PM More pickle ball and tennis courts Jun 27 2019 07:55 AM Pickleball Jun 26 2019 07:32 PM More enrichment classes, move away from equity and left leaning agendas; Jun 26 2019 10:10 AM Have more pop-up parks on weekends, and close Alaskan Way, Alki, and other streets for Bicycle Sundays West. Jun 25 2019 11:30 AM Youth and Senior activities such as Pickleball. This sport is huge right now and their are limited places to play it.

127 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II Jun 22 2019 08:10 PM Dedicated pickleball courts would be great. Losing the courts every time children are out, for instance this summer, is not great. Why can't the kids play outside for the 2 hours pickleball would be happening? At the current growth rate, twelve years from now we will have five times as many players as we do now. To accommodate that growth, Seattle should have two pickleball complexes each with 24 or more dedicated covered outdoor pickleball courts, on each side of the ship canal. My two cents, thanks.

Jun 22 2019 02:22 PM More indoor/outdoor pickleball courts. They serve many age groups from 7-90+ years old. Pickleball is becoming very popular and is growing very quickly. Courts are getting too busy. A large facility with at least 8-12 indoor/coveted courts would be great for tournaments. Jun 21 2019 03:57 PM At least two dedicated pickleball facilities with a minimum of 8 covered courts each (16 would be preferable) and dividers between them to keep the balls in the right court.

Jun 21 2019 08:18 AM Add pickle ball courts to existing tennis courts and create specific courts forpickle ball.

Stripe tennis courts for PB - make tennis courts multi-purpose as are all i door gyms and many basketball sized outdoor courts.

The PNW is the originator of pickleball - why are we not taking advantage of that fact??

This is a low-hanging fruit opportunity to make us a national destination for tournaments, clinics and more.

Why don’t we ‘own’ our history?? Jun 13 2019 06:21 PM More outdoor pickleball courts with seasonal (removable/retractable) covers and lights.

Interest in the sport is growing so fast and the north Seattle Pickleball community plays every Saturday and Sunday at Greenlake for hours each day. On holidays we have had as many as 70-80 people play throughout the day. The demand and interest is there. Jun 11 2019 02:30 PM Pickleball - joint venture with Seattle schools to renovate Damaged tennis court at Eckstein MS into 4 community pickleball courts. Funding needed Jun 11 2019 12:55 PM I'd like to see the community centers stay open for pickle ball for the summer rather than closing for the adults. We have to find outside places to play and it's a big effort to coordinate. Jun 11 2019 10:52 AM Outdoor pickleball complexes of 6 courts spread out around the city. It is a social activity (therefore several courts at each site) and, with the difficulty of getting around in this city, they should be spread around in a neighborhood fashion. Near schools would be good because it is a sport playable by all ages.

Jun 11 2019 09:34 AM Increase Community Center Hours Jun 11 2019 08:52 AM Increase community center operating hours and staff; expand Pickleball venues and play opportunities. Jun 11 2019 08:50 AM Pickleball is growing fast and the gatherings and community sharing are huge.

It is the fastest growing sport in America, played by all ages, easy to learn and very social (promotes community), you can fit 4 pickleball courts in the size of one tennis court. Come out and see it, you will be surprised.

Jun 11 2019 07:54 AM Build more pickleball courts (indoor/outdoor) in groups of at least 8. People of all ages are interested in this sport.

Jun 10 2019 10:06 PM Paths for walking, skating, biking to get around Seattle, so to avoid using cars.

Jun 10 2019 09:39 PM We need dedicated indoor and outdoor Pickleball courts in south, central, north and west Seattle, with enough courts in each so that waiting time is minimized, at least 8-10 in each area, more would be better. Jun 10 2019 09:27 PM Build a 24 court pickleball complex and host a national tournament. Jun 10 2019 09:04 PM Update and maintain existing facilities.

For example, Cowen Park, why is there no maintenance of the tennis or basketball courts? Froula Park has bad grass. Jun 10 2019 09:02 PM More gymnasiums for various sports. Currently basketball takes presidence over all other sports during the late fall/winter months when people are forced indoors.

Jun 10 2019 08:48 PM I have met so many people playing Pickleball. My community has grown and I have friends AND I’m getting great exercise. Wouldn’t it be great to have dedicated Pickleball facility where people of all ages and abilities could gather and have fun. I’m imagining both an indoor and outdoor facility with 8-12 courts each. I know they would be full of laughing, recreating folks ! Jun 10 2019 08:32 PM Make parking easier around Green lake or other parks so that street parking isn't the main option. Jun 10 2019 08:31 PM Pickleball with dedicated courts and nets. No mutiple lines! Jun 10 2019 08:13 PM Pickleball courts for indoor and outdoor play.

All one has to do is observe the tennis courts behind the boathouse at Greenlake on any weekend day to understand the need. Ratio of tennis players to pickleball players has to be 30:1.

Jun 10 2019 06:56 PM dedicated pickleball courts Jun 10 2019 06:09 PM More dedicated pickelball courts Jun 10 2019 05:52 PM A location in north Seattle with 8 to 12 dedicated outdoor Pickleball courts. Jun 10 2019 03:28 PM Pickleball provides integenerational fun, intergenerational friendship and intergenerational fitness. If the current trend continues, we are going to have four to five times as many Seattle pickleball players twelve years from now as we do now. Please plan for the growth. Make sure that you understand the social aspect of pickleball. Look at best practices such as Naples (FL) or Loma Linda (CA).

My big idea: twelve years from now have a pickleball complex with 12 to 24 pickleball courts each in each one of your 5 geographic regions. Meanwhile, start by [1:] adding pickleball lines to all outdoor tennis courts that have 3 or more adjacent courts and [2:] adding pickleball courts to the Amy Yee Tennis and Pickleball Center. Jun 08 2019 11:45 AM We need dedicated pickleball courts. Jun 08 2019 07:21 AM Dedicated pickleball complexes (4 to 8 courts) spread across the city to encourage multi- generational play and fitness for all ages.

130 Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan | 2020-2032 | Appendix II Jun 07 2019 11:40 PM Promote intergenerational activities such as pickleball that promote fun, fitness and friendships for all. Jun 03 2019 04:37 PM I swim at Evans Pool as well as Ballard. (Sometimes QueenAnne.) I can't tell you how important it is for the lifeguards to be friendly. Just a simple hello, glad to see you,Thanks for coming or just a warm smile is really helpful and makes me proud of my parks and adds to my happiness. Generally I do not get this. I do appreciate their skill regarding keeping everyone safe believe me but they really need to be more friendly. The folks who take the money as well can really enhance ones day with a smile.

I would like to commend a lifeguard at Evans who is new. Around 30 maybe with tattoos , about 5-10 maybe. So friendly and skilled. Also a lifeguard at Ballard pool named Trevor- He is awesome-so nice to everyone and remembers names. They need to be commended. Thanks for listening to me. Maybe this is an age thing but at 55(my age) I think this would benefit everyone! I myself say hello and thanks etc. but they are all too wrapped up in closing the pool and getting home.They work hard i get that!!Thanks much!!

Jun 01 2019 08:31 PM Consider working people with the times you offer things May 28 2019 12:08 PM I love visiting Kubota park when I visit Seattle. It is an absolute treasure. It might be interesting to include Japanese art and cultural events here. May 28 2019 11:58 AM More parks closer to urban villages

108 in the case of cal anderson, the facility management of the bathrooms is deplorable/ignored. a 8/31/2019 11:39 AM shame for an important, vital inner city park used by local+++. the mayor, and our congresspeople along with fantastic others, visit, speak, perform and gather. A vibrant community schedule sports regularly and often. Where should they pee? the bathrooms are now open again and the portapottys gone, leaving the meeting room with boarded windows and no notice of an end project date. We had to beg for lighting to be maintained in the park. The beautiful light poles throughout were negelcted for 3+ months. i started calling after a young

44 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

man was shot and killed at the south end of the park, because the police were crawling all over the area, with more than a dozen light poles not maintained. the north east corner was in near complete darkness&had been for some time. lighting is a basic safety feature in a park, especially inner city. Thank you!

228 Already likely to attend bird and nature walks; would prefer that off-leash dogs are restricted to 8/25/2019 4:25 PM off-leash areas (rather than disturb ground-nesting birds) — I guess better signage and education about off-leash areas would help

251 I have no access issues, but have an elderly Mom and always looking for ease of access for 8/22/2019 5:52 AM her in natural areas. She very much misses this aspect of her life.

252 Don't want large public events in parks that are beloved for their natural beauty -- such as 8/21/2019 11:26 PM Lincoln Park, Mee Kwa Mooks, Discovery Park ...

257 more roller derby bouts, more/cleaner bathrooms, water bottle refill stations, regular 8/21/2019 4:20 PM programming we could plan ahead for, guided nature talks/activities including caring for the space, community garden space

49 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

trucks with engines or generatiors constantly running, not being jumped on by muddy dogs, evenets that relate to the geographic and cultural history of the parkland, more park personnel to enforce the rules WHICH SHOULD BE CLEARLY POSTED IN MORE LOCATIONS.

290 Only possible event other than a protest that I could imagine attending in a Seattle park would 8/19/2019 6:23 PM be a picnic if someone had reserved a picnic area.

291 I would attend more if it was budget friendly and had free or low cost activities/food/things to do 8/19/2019 5:52 PM or buy, etc. and was something unique and different that could gather different types of people together

300 We'd like to see tables that can more easily accomodate tabletop games, such as those the 8/19/2019 1:08 PM DSA puts downtown. Slatted picnic tables do not support games with tiles such as dominoes, bananagrams, mahjong, etc. Also, it seems like a shame to deprive citizens of covered areas to play games just as a deterrent to those living without shelter.

301 Not sure 8/19/2019 12:40 PM

302 Safety improvements such as lighting or staffing 8/19/2019 12:12 PM

650 Cleaner, accessible facilities (like bathrooms that are actually available, not locked 24/7 or 8/15/2019 9:20 AM constantly occupied by addicts riding out a high). Park concierges who can help ensure amenities are available for their intended use are great - I love what they've done for the activation of our downtown urban parks. I'd also like more facilities in our parks to make it possible to use them for larger, scheduled events - like rentable pavilions for birthday parties, performance spaces for music and theater, etc.

695 Access: can we easily get to it and if we needed to drive is there parking. Also safety, we don’t 8/15/2019 8:32 AM go to some parks anymore or during certain times due to safety concerns. For instance we live in West Seattle but avoid Alki during the summer months. Lincoln Park is beautiful but I have seen drug activity, too many dogs off leash.

752 Free not for profit diverse experiences for all age groups - link with public libraries 8/15/2019 6:55 AM

753 Depends on what you mean by "park" vs. "facility." If you are suggesting adding these kinds of 8/15/2019 6:54 AM events to our natural parks, then nothing would make me want to attend them. For the community centers, then probably a low price point.

804 I might be interested in a community event unless there was loud music blasting from the 8/14/2019 11:17 PM speakers throughout the park. Please don't encourage more loud events at parks. People should have places to go in the city that are peaceful and at least somewhat quiet.

969 Seattle has many spaces for concerts and events. Seattle needs to protect and preserve green 8/13/2019 10:59 PM spaces and opportunities for non-city/non-profit activities. It is a shame that some “parks” in the city are simply concrete slabs with fancy tables and a few food trucks. Sure, those amenities can be nice but sparingly and as an add value to an already scenic and tree filled space. In just five years urban density has significantly decreased the tree density in the city. Seattle parks are the last bastion of green spaces keeping the Emerald city - Green!

781 Yes! 3: 1st- Inside activities for families. Start with updating and expanding pools then move on 8/14/2019 2:07 PM to other activities. The bitter lake roller skating for example. 2nd- more green space for cross country running in the neighborhood parks. We shouldn’t have to drive so far to get to a large natural area like they have in west seattle or by the zoo. 3rd- more athletic fields. The sports clubs are taking over and even moving into the playground areas. It’s too crowded.

823 Seattle city parks need to be clean. They need to be safe. It is counterproductive to ask what 8/13/2019 11:03 PM activities one may enjoy when there is an issue with both. Please visit your trash management and your security standards. Please also do not only allocate resources to traditionally wealthy (I.e.caucasian) areas - parks should be for everyone and access should be equitable.

425 I don't understand why Seattle doesn't have any covered playgrounds. It would be so wonderful 8/15/2019 1:15 PM in the winter. Also, I find that my kids will play at natural playgrounds much longer and they will be happier there than a standard playground if it's raining. I feel like the playgrounds in Seattle are particularly poorly designed for the fact that it rains 8 months a year here.

Lincoln 8/14/2019 9:05 PM park though has many different options: nature, pool, wading pool, playground, and beach. It keeps him entertained much longer. Not all parks can be so large but many could include more than one feature much like Hiawatha that has sports fields, exercise equipment, playground, and wading pool. Those are the places we enjoy most.

126 back to dog areas: dogs do not belong in areas where salmon fry swim along the shore or 8/19/2019 11:44 PM where swim beaches are close by. any dog "water features" should be constructed and maintained WITHIN off leash areas and dog owners should be policed to keep dogs on leash when not INSIDE the off leash area. We reinforce priviledged attitudes when rules are not enforced, and the areas in parks that are dedicated to providing habitat for nature are destroyed by people allowing dogs to run around off leash and jump in the lake wherever they please.

269 I was not allowed to comment, but off-leash dogs are a huge problem. We live across the street 8/15/2019 9:54 AM from a park that we rarely use because my son has had so many bad off-leash dog experiences that he is now terrified of dogs. Despite years of complaining - there is limited to no enforcement. Off-leash dogs in park areas is a huge problem that needs to be addressed.

47 Safety 8/28/2019 1:37 PM

57 need ping pong; need swimming pools 8/24/2019 8:01 PM

58 Invite the community in! Let the community offer programs! 8/24/2019 2:24 PM

59 do not cut hours! do not cut established classes ( yoga at Montlake) 8/24/2019 10:44 AM

60 operating hours should be more fully staffed and should be open in the mornings everywhere 8/23/2019 10:56 AM

61 Rebuild Lake City Community Center !! 8/22/2019 8:05 PM

62 there hs been a great decrease in the offerings at southeast Seattle community centers. Add 8/22/2019 12:41 PM line dancing, yoga and pilates which were available a few years ago.

63 The PDF of your print catalog is confusing to read online. I'd prefer a searchable online 8/22/2019 10:24 AM database of classes and events which can be limited by catagories like location, time, "dance", "drop-in sports", "concerts", "kids" , etc. and that does NOT show programming which is no longer offered.

64 More hours at night 8/22/2019 7:25 AM

65 More roller derby, specifically track lines. Also more open roller skating like at Magnusson 8/21/2019 4:29 PM Community Center. I like all of the ideas shown in this survey too.

66 I like my nearby centers. 8/21/2019 1:21 PM

67 Basic maintenance and cleanliness comes first. STOP acquiring more facilities until you can 8/20/2019 10:55 PM manage those you already have.

68 do local neighborhood outreach about community center's offerings, most people don't even 8/20/2019 9:16 PM know what is available

69 Have community centers act as resource hubs for homeless/low-income people. Bathrooms 8/20/2019 9:12 PM available to all. Longer hours - open every day.

70 provide enough parking for peak use times & events 8/20/2019 7:07 PM

71 Parking. Your customers drive, acknowledge it and serve them. 8/20/2019 5:15 PM

72 Follow the very best examaples of the Greenwood Senior Center and the excellent Gene Culon 8/20/2019 12:13 PM Park in Renton. The Shoreline Parks in King County. Gorgeous Seahurst Park in Burien. Mercer Island parks are rough looking, too much like Seattle. Use some of Seattle taxes for maintenance and improvement. Let the Seattle Golf Courses keep the collected fees for upgrades. They are beautiful places available to all incomes for health year long. They do not charge exhorting fees or are race selective. They are in the city limits. Visit beautiful Jackson Golf Course. It needs to keep its fees and more for a badly needed Club House. The courses provide needed green space. ADD MORE GREEN PARKS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. Seattle has less green space/parks than New York City! Just let some of us walk and not be run over by dogs or skaters.

73 Increase number and days for pickleball play at more community centers. Play is now very 8/20/2019 8:00 AM crowded. We need more lined outdoor pickleball courts.

78 The Magnolia Community Center has very limited hours and very few programs that appeal to 8/19/2019 1:39 PM me. I wish they had better facilities...it's a long way to the other community centers like QA or Ballard but those 2 have a lot more programs available. In the 7 years my kids have attended the school that's connected to the Mag CC, there's only been 2 or 3 after school class options that they have had any interest in! Why not offer some more options?

79 Develop neighborhood specific planning--QA needs a new community center with Pickle Ball 8/19/2019 9:57 AM courts.

162 Our community center is closed on sundays. Weekends are key for working parents and school 8/14/2019 11:10 PM age kids.

163 I think community centres are intended to be open to drop-ins, but I don't get that impression 8/14/2019 11:08 PM from the sites or brochures. I feel awkward just dropping in and seeing what's happening.

212 I know it's a huge thing, but I would love to see Evan's pool, since it is at one of Washington 8/13/2019 10:47 AM state's most popular park, become an Aquatic Center such as I've visited in Astoria Oregon and other towns. Because there are several pools, the center can be open more for all needs. So much more family-friendly! I'm sure if it was easy, this would have been done already! It's so wonderful to be able to swim at these centers, which have slides and lazy rivers and generous hours, in other towns.

251 Community centers feel as if they are only for youth or the elderly as far as the programming 8/9/2019 5:46 PM and activities that I most often see advertised. I’m sure this is not the case in practice but as a 20 something I don’t feel like community centers are offering something that fits what could interest myself or my peers. Myself and folks my age are desperately searching for community but social media and the internet has created a culture that can cause us to be timid to try new things and put ourselves out there to meet new people and join new groups. Social media accounts ran by each community center which promote their offerings could be a good way to engage youth and young adults.

Answered: 888 Skipped: 722

188 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

# RESPONSES DATE 1 More community events, more seating, free events 9/8/2019 10:44 AM

2 Present as many physical activities to Seattle citizens allowing them to stay healthy well into 9/7/2019 12:56 PM their old age.

3 Create indoor outdoor Pickleball centers around the city, much like the Amy year tennis center 9/7/2019 8:20 AM

4 connectivity between green spaces, especially for walkers and bicyclists 9/6/2019 5:03 PM

5 Continue to make the aging person a priority. 9/6/2019 8:44 AM

6 Continue supporting and participating in Green Seattle Partnership and use work parties to get 9/5/2019 10:16 PM people more connected to each other, and for engaging our youth in environmental educational and leadership skills.

7 As more people move to Seattle and trees in neighborhoods are being removed to create 9/5/2019 9:50 PM new/dense housing, it is even more important for Seattle Parks to maintain its natural areas and create even more natural areas and habitat. Nearly all of the questions on this survey are people-oriented. It is important to consider the value of habitat to birds, small mammals, and aquatic life. For example, at Magnuson Park many non-official trails have been created by park users near the wetlands. While this has provided access for people, it has destroyed bird habitat and impacted the wetlands hydrology. This is a loss. Instead of expanding community centers, sports fields, and commercial enterprises in parks - habitat should be increased.

8 We need more off leash options so you do not have to drive (if you have a car) to get to a place 9/5/2019 9:20 PM for your dog. More leniency for off leash well behaved dogs.

9 Do a better job of telling us what programs are available and make those programs free for all 9/5/2019 1:28 PM

10 Coordinate more closely with public transportation. Hold some events/classes more often to 9/5/2019 11:49 AM accommodate people's work schedules and other commitments.

11 The city needs to value the parks and keep them well maintained. this is not happening. Parks 9/5/2019 11:09 AM are necessary regardless of the number of users. This survey suggests that parks will only get attention if the number of users increases. That should not be the major criterion. Many of our parks are overused. Those that are just more natural serve us well for their beauty and green benefits. The city needs to set the standard for the aesthetic values of this city and they aren't doing that. We can't trim trees on our property but the city can let city light butcher trees all over the city. The city philosophy can't be just in the park departments. City light, road crews etc. all the departments must do there part yet the city is very compartmentalized and doesn't even seem to consider city values across departments like how we want this city to look! Until we address this homeless issue and get tents off city streets we are going to continue to see significant deterioration in the physical environment of this city and we will rue the day.When I hear of suggestion out of the mayors office to convert city golf courses to homeless encampments or to sell the property for housing I know its time to leave this city. What would happen to New York if they decided to sell Central Park.! We need every green park and golf course this city has and then some and we need to maintain them. We have paid so much to have these parks over the last 50 years and they are needed more than ever and for all the citizens. We can't let the homeless crisis continue to be cause so much disruption and ugliness in our community. Just like graffiti breeds graffiti the homeless situation breeds a ton of ancillary negative consequences and I think the aesthetics of our city and it beauty are being seriously compromised.

19 Connect better with the community, ask community for the programs they want. Expand 9/4/2019 8:41 PM programs and buildings, many children have no opportunity to join the comm programs because the price or because the small capacity to enroll. Work with community members to plan and design the programs. If a non-profit brings a program that is popular, they shouldn't be charge any fees.

20 Increase pickle ball courts and times. It works for all ages, all cultures, and creates community 9/4/2019 8:40 PM and fitness

21 Expand indoor pickle ball, especially in the evening, for those of us who work during the day 9/4/2019 8:20 PM and can get there in the daytime.

22 by and large, our parks and facilities are great. But I am an avid pickleballer and I think our 9/4/2019 8:20 PM facilities could be better. Fastest growing sport in US

23 Dedicated pickleball courts - a sport that can be played by most everyone 9/4/2019 8:17 PM

24 Keep the senior pickle ball program going as strong as ever. 9/4/2019 7:01 PM

25 longer open hours for adults- evenings 9/4/2019 6:40 PM

26 Provide programs specifically designed for age groups and skill levels, i.e. Senior pickleball for 9/4/2019 6:37 PM beginners and/or lower skill levels.

27 Make available more dedicated pickleball lined courts and times. 9/4/2019 5:20 PM

28 Reach out to all age groups, make sure you hire experienced, well trained instructors that are 9/4/2019 4:28 PM enthusiastic and pay them well! People are attracted to classes with skilled instructors.

29 Add more area dedicated to a pickleball center, at least 8-16 courts for pickleball play, classes 9/4/2019 4:17 PM and tournaments.

30 More activities at community centers for underserved youth and seniors. 9/4/2019 2:47 PM

31 Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance. Lots of SPR facilities are being loved to death. 9/4/2019 1:32 PM Another saltwater pool would be a huge addition. By Labor Day weekend, the suit-drying spinner at Colman Pool had been broken down and been removed, and almost all of the lockers in the women's changing room were broken. While QA Pool has nice belts for water aerobics, Ballard is limping along with the old equipment from QA, and much of it is breaking down. A number of the pocket parks around the city also seem to be struggling. The city needs to give SPR the budget it needs to take care of what we have instead of always chasing the new shiny thing. Thanks for all of what the SPR staff does to try to meet our needs.

32 Constant maintenance makes the parks more attractive and safe 9/4/2019 12:08 PM

33 Remove and replace QA community center. It is in such deplorable disrepair. Have you been in 9/4/2019 11:38 AM the rest rooms? The ceramic room? We've been awaiting a dividing curtain for the gym...got funding for it and nothing but delays have prevented this improvement from happening. Our community-every community-deserves better!

34 enforce leash laws 9/4/2019 10:17 AM

35 more local parks near our family home and prevent homeless from taking over the space- 9/4/2019 9:24 AM

36 More trails that dogs are not allowed on would make for the best nature experiences possible. 9/4/2019 7:25 AM Enforcing leash laws would be even better.

37 Golf provides a social activity while being in nature. Include foot golf on the courses. 9/4/2019 5:47 AM

38 Install a lid over the Rosevelt Resevoir for passive activities (no loud sports). 9/3/2019 10:16 PM

39 Build new Community Centers in areas that have been waiting years for an update! Queen 9/3/2019 9:46 PM Anne

40 Replace the Green Lake pool and community center with a modern community center and 9/3/2019 9:27 PM aquatic center. Use bonding capacity in the Park District to make big investments in aquatic

190 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

centers in each quadrant of the city (Rainier Beach in the Southeast has a good one now, but that's it). We usually go to Lynnwood since it's closer, but it's sad that Seattle can't have a decent aquatic center in the North End.

41 I think you already do a great job. 9/3/2019 7:47 PM

42 Make a better effort to encourage Park use for all. 9/3/2019 7:45 PM

43 Learn to manage natural areas as resources and not areas to create active use within. Have a 9/3/2019 7:14 PM dept and expert parks managers with backgrounds in urban forest resource management.

44 Add programming for P-patch, connect gardens to the communities - to educate on nature and 9/3/2019 6:42 PM educate the community on the benefit of having p-patches in their neighborhoods

45 Maintain the landscaping. Weed/invasive species control. Stop cutting down healthy trees. 9/3/2019 6:31 PM Replace dead trees. Plant and protect trees. Trails in greenbelts fir runners, walkers and bikes.

46 Promote your programs and events with greater exposure and professional finesse. 9/3/2019 6:30 PM

47 Leave the natural areas as natural as possible. Use soft materials (like woodchips) for trails and 9/3/2019 5:29 PM keep them narrow. Don't put in gravel paths that crunch when you walk on them. Don't allow bikes in the forests. They do damage.

48 Safer restrooms. We play soccer at fields after dark & when the rest of the park is relatively 9/3/2019 4:44 PM empty. The bathrooms are always far from the fields, in the dark or in a secluded area. When my kids were little it seemed there were very few parks that had them near the little kids play area as well. They should be located close to activity areas, well lit, two exits (like at alki whale tail park) or single stall, lockable (like Marymoor Playfields), clean and maybe a stall that’s just a changing area with bench.

49 Be accessible for all - curb ramps and ada-compliant sidewalks. 9/3/2019 4:43 PM

50 increase wild spaces that cater to more than just the human species, and educate and provide 9/3/2019 4:29 PM multi-modal opportunities to learn about why this is important to do for our local ecosystems.

51 More advertising of events 9/3/2019 4:14 PM

52 Stop the emphasis on built projects that reduce green space. Spaces that are not "activated" 9/3/2019 4:06 PM have their own value. Value all park users over dog owners. Enforce the leash law. Honor the original resolution establishing OLAs and tell advocates to find private property for new ones instead of putting them in parks. Close the Denny Park OLA as promised, now that the City Light Substation OLA is open. Label some trees with QR codes or another tag connected to online information about their natural history and interactions with other species. Buy the Ballard P-Patch lot to preserve the P-Patch.

53 We should be saving money to rebuild aging community centers. Greenlake Community 9/3/2019 3:54 PM Center, specifically, could use a rebuild. It's probably not earthquake safe and gets used by tons of people!!!!

54 Parks that have food trucks and kiosks, wine/beer gardens, and rotating community art exhibits 9/3/2019 3:50 PM

55 Keep the parks clean and preserve nature. A lot of the questions on this survey assume that we 9/3/2019 3:49 PM want more programs and education. Our main concern is preserving green space in an increasingly population dense city.

56 Fewer drug addicts. 9/3/2019 3:34 PM

57 A program that provides friendly but firm enforcement of the rules that make the parks 9/3/2019 3:32 PM enjoyable--similar to Mt. Rainier's volunteer ranger program. There is no presence in many of parks, leading to conflict between users, and some users not coming back as a result.

58 Not a big idea just common sense---increase the hours that the community centers are open 9/3/2019 3:29 PM

59 Focus on keeping bathrooms at parks clean and garbage cans empty 9/3/2019 3:18 PM

60 Early am hours for working adults 9/2/2019 8:37 PM

61 Dog free parks. 9/2/2019 7:16 PM

62 listing of public transportation resources that serve facilities 9/2/2019 11:47 AM

63 Keep and expand Lifelong Learning program. Instructors are GREAT. Two changes: buy more 9/2/2019 7:12 AM

191 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

vans for "fieldtrips;" give better equipment to instructors.

64 more care of the environment in our parks. Stop mowing fragile areas. Clear out homeless 9/1/2019 8:46 PM encampments to make parks safer & to incur less environmental damage. Enforce dog leash laws in areas that are not designated for off-leash.

65 Na 9/1/2019 8:38 PM

66 Please enforce the leash laws on the sports fields; please offer more turf fields (without all the 9/1/2019 6:38 PM dog poop!)

67 increase community and connection with local parks through regular volunteer activities. This 9/1/2019 5:01 PM will also result in better cared for facilities. Increased presence of volunteers will also help create a safer environment.

68 I don't have a big idea. Criticism: the quarterly booklet which shows activities, times and names 9/1/2019 4:32 PM of class leaders is fraught with errors. You need a good proofreader!

69 Add more baseball and soccer facilities in addition to better maintenance of those we do have! 9/1/2019 3:53 PM

70 Encourage youth to get involved 9/1/2019 3:09 PM

71 A simple idea - keep the rec centers clean! QA Pool building is not well maintained 9/1/2019 2:26 PM

72 Instead of adding more parks keep up what we have!! Paint, landscape care, replace broken 9/1/2019 10:56 AM things, keep centers clean, post dates to register at all front at least a month in advance at desks at Community Centers, hire friendly staff. I appreciate our low cost services--but the upkeep of our parks and CC should be a bigger budget item. And there needs to be more quality control of the CC's and parks by supervisors. I get the feeling no one is overseeing our parks. This is a KEY to quality service. Thank you for asking this question!! Kathy King

73 more park maintenance staff. bathrooms, garbage and lighting especially focused on. (Cal 8/31/2019 11:52 AM Anderson)

74 Use Park Levy money to maintain, repair and replace park facilities (instead of using the money 8/30/2019 12:42 PM to build the downtown waterfront Park.)

75 keep tents/rv's/drugs out. Stop letting the homeless scare away the kids and families. arrest 8/30/2019 11:53 AM people for sleeping/shooting heroine in parks and on play fields.

76 Safe trails with benches and signage 8/30/2019 11:49 AM

77 Keep the parks free of drug encampments 8/30/2019 9:28 AM

78 Practical mini courses, e.g. rats in Seattle and how to prevent and deal with them 8/30/2019 8:52 AM

79 Consider the philosophy behind Milwaukee (WI) Parks' Service. It is (or was) one of the best in 8/30/2019 7:26 AM the country.

80 we Have great parks. Invest in them to keep them great. Train staff to properly care for plants. 8/30/2019 6:37 AM Make sure low income areas have great parks, too, and REALLY listen to what they want/need. Be innovative. Don’t make all parks look the same. Please use new wood products for play equipment, all the metal stuff is hard on bones and it all looks the same. More trees and plants. How about an adventure park where kids can really test their limits and dig, build, destroy, get dirty? One in every corner of Seattle.

81 Try enforcing leash laws so that off-leash dog don't ruin the experience at parks for those of us 8/30/2019 1:00 AM who are uncomfortable around dogs.

82 Invest more in sitting new benches 8/29/2019 10:35 PM

83 Keep the golf courses, extend summer barbecue & jazz at Interbay, better maintenance of 8/29/2019 10:11 PM smaller parks like Thomas Wales

84 Recognize that "all" includes individuals with disabilities. Don't segregate into Specialized 8/29/2019 9:48 PM Recreation. Make programs, parks and community centers welcoming and accessible to families of children with disabilities. Families like mine dont feel like we "belong" in many public spaces.

85 Acquire more park land, protect natural habitat areas. Our green spaces are disappearing at an 8/29/2019 9:17 PM unacceptable pace. Not a desirable place any longer. Protect more land by designating more

192 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

open and green spaces as parks before they are all gone.

86 Clean out the homeless and drug problems. Access to teen drop in availability and programs. 8/29/2019 7:27 PM Access to community gatherings for youth that aren’t paid programs or privately coached for all to access.

87 Please do not allow homeless camping in the parks. 8/29/2019 6:51 PM

88 Enforce leash laws for non OLA areas. 8/29/2019 6:20 PM

89 Provide programming for all ages. Take the money that we're providing with our tax dollars and 8/29/2019 4:20 PM reinstate the community center hours that were cut. You got the misguided vote for the Metropolitan Parks District, the least you can do is spend the money wisely. Better maintain the parks and stop giving everything to the sports lobby.

90 Buy more land to make into natural areas with trails! 8/29/2019 3:28 PM

91 Hold group meetings related to Seattle issues in which solutions are discussed. 8/29/2019 3:13 PM

92 Don't restrict the sports that are popular, like pickleball! 8/29/2019 3:01 PM

93 Make activities an facilities better known. 8/29/2019 2:51 PM

94 Pickleball was invented on Bainbridge island. It’s the fastest growing sport in the nation played 8/29/2019 12:52 PM by all ages. Seattle should be the Pickleball Capital of the World, with world class venues.

95 You do a great job already. However, it would be nice to have a CC in the Wallingford area, and 8/29/2019 12:09 PM dedicated outdoor Pickle Ball courts (aside from Green Lake's), and include more indoor Pickle Ball court hours at existing CCs. Thank you!

96 Focus on caring for and maintaining the essential components of Seattle's Parks: the parks 8/29/2019 11:25 AM themselves. Although "new" initiatives are more exciting than maintenance, the value of Seattle's parks for most citizens is in the spaces and land itself - much of which has been neglected not just in recent years, but can be measured in decades. Radically increase funding for: routine maintenance, preserving our parks including public views, preserving the integrity of the Olmsted system and it's historic legacy in Seattle including public education, hire independent consultants to help reform the parks departments bad track record of communicating and partnering with the public and volunteers so the dept can work more effectively, efficiently, and turn around their current reputation of being a difficult department to work with. Finally, redo this survey so that it is not so slanted towards new projects and recreation initiatives. And make it so respondents can contribute individual answers when appropriate.

97 Save all of our multiuse open spaces, including golf courses! 8/29/2019 9:46 AM

98 keep our community centers open at least 6 days a week and at least 12 hours a day. Keep the 8/29/2019 8:17 AM doors open for activities as well as walk in's

99 hire More staff to help with all the problems that arise during the year. 8/29/2019 8:09 AM

100 I would like to see more diversity in our programs with activities or events that showcase 8/29/2019 6:35 AM populations in neighborhoods different from our own ... build a bigger, better sense of community. We are growing too fast and have lost a common thread. It could be the parks that bring us together.

101 Bringing people together. 8/29/2019 12:56 AM

102 Keep doing the good job you’re doing! 8/28/2019 10:41 PM

103 Promote intergenerational sports such as pickleball. 8/28/2019 10:28 PM

104 Seattle is a noisy city. Provide quiet zones and mitigate noise from park events. 8/28/2019 9:48 PM

105 Don’t let the homeless do drugs and live in the parks. Make them safe for families . 8/28/2019 9:37 PM

106 Expand discovery park to include the old fort Lawton land and build a mountain bike park 8/28/2019 7:40 PM somewhere inside the park!!!

107 Cowl shield all outdoor park lights and retrofit yellow spectrum LED plates, work towards being 8/28/2019 5:49 PM able to see milky Way in any park by fighting light pollution SCL service area wide.

108 First of all, improve your survey technique: ie., so many questions that are general, instead of 8/28/2019 5:49 PM

193 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

about specific facilities. SPR has such different facilities of the same type (Comm Ctrs, aquatics, playgrounds etc) that you'll not get good guidance by asking questions about a general type. That said, the biggest opportunity IMHO is to improve the coffee/food options at significant parks like Green Lake, Seward, Lincoln, Volunteer, ... I *dont* mean just food trucks, altho a few trucks wouldnt hurt. I mean more permanent facilities beyond the typical hot dog/popcorn/ice cream bars. If you use trucks, *pls* control their cleanliness, snaking power cords, and (typically) loud power generators. Consider the food concessionaire approaches in Europe as good examples. Many are in permanent structures. Green Lake's old Aqua Theatre is a great place to try a cafe. Parking is there and there's much foot traffic. Why do this? It gives people a chance to hang out longer, stay hydrated & caffeinated, and treat the Parks as an extension of home...plus good venues for birthday parties & other celebrations. More and more Seattle-ites do *not* have backyards so need Parks.

109 Better wheelchair access including paved paths for wheelchairs. Beaches for off leash dog play, 8/28/2019 5:22 PM horse access to beaches, and offer less children activities when adults want to enjoy nature quietly. Children have enough activities geared towards them.

110 1) Activate more parks with cool equipment, features and activities. Look to Europe and Asia for 8/28/2019 5:06 PM great examples of innovative parks and public spaces. Go seating, great art, unusual play features, parkour. Think big! 2) Upgrade horrible restroom facilities, improve drinking fountains, etc. 3) Add activities to parks that draw people in and build community. Great example are at Freeway Park and Occidental Square. As more dancing, more live music, kids activities, yard games, colorful seating, etc. 4) consider ways to connect kids to nature that aren't expensive. Rather than putting in a $500,000 play structure, you can add logs, boulders, plants and other natural features at a very low cost. Research shows this benefits kids more than traditional play structures. 5) Add more things for teens and tweens to do like skate boarding (even just skate dots), gathering places, etc

111 GET THE HOMELESS OUT OF OUR PARKS! I used to run, hike, swim and bike through 8/28/2019 5:02 PM multiple parks regularly, and with my child. Seeing drunks, public urination, sex, violence, pot, feces, bike "chop shops," hoarding and needles has scared us away.

112 More events that bring diverse people together.... 8/28/2019 4:54 PM

113 Offer recreation programs and teen employment off site, not everyone is close to a community 8/28/2019 4:32 PM center. Open long hours x 7 days a week at Comm centers in high poverty neighborhoods or with a lot of youth.

114 Not sure. Good luck! 8/28/2019 4:06 PM

115 Keep the golf course/open space! Pocket parks every where. 8/28/2019 3:43 PM

116 By reclaiming the tens of millions of dollars worth of property which has been encroached upon 8/28/2019 3:14 PM by white people of privilege!

117 Extend hours of operation for community centers; maintain facilities; provide space for after 8/28/2019 2:58 PM school programming

118 Make reasonable sized parking spaces so each one can be used and people who need to open 8/28/2019 2:47 PM a door all the way ( because of size, age, to remove sport equipment or baby carriers etc.) can do so. Make a safe drop off zone for caregivers dropping kids to sport practice areas or for uber/lyft. Keep scary looking cars and characters from taking over parking spaces for days in parks and making it unsafe and unsettling for kids or anyone to enjoy the park.

119 We have homeless sleeping in the park every night of the year. To deprive them of restrooms 8/28/2019 2:44 PM for several months is bad and means that we see human feces in the park. Degrading for them and unpleasant for the rest of us. Closed restrooms also affect sporting events and outings with small children. Keep the existing restrooms open year around. It should be a basic requirement and first priority.

120 Change the politicains and the toxic enviorment which they have created. Quit punshing actual 8/28/2019 2:37 PM tax payers and property owners. Increase policing and police response time. Punish law breakers. Stop sactuary policies. Remove homeless and drugs users. IOW obey the actual laws, not policies that punish actual citizens and favor transients.

121 Additional senior centers in Seattle. Look at North Shore Senior Center as an example of an 8/28/2019 2:30 PM outstanding senior center

122 Not sure. 8/28/2019 2:26 PM

194 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

123 More parks, green spaces with safe walking trails and a lot more tennis facilities. Amy Yee 8/28/2019 2:21 PM Tennis Center is great, but it is much too small and is too far from many North Seattle neighborhoods.

124 Affordable housing 8/28/2019 2:09 PM

125 Pay its employees better in order to keep the good ones! 8/28/2019 2:07 PM

126 keep the golf courses and other green spaces 8/28/2019 1:59 PM

127 Protect and restore forested natural areas and maintain unprogrammed open space (both large 8/28/2019 1:55 PM and small).

128 By actually using the parks levy funds to repair, maintain and replace park facilities and to 8/28/2019 1:43 PM expand hours of operation. This is the purpose of the levy - not building and maintaining the downtown waterfront park for tourists.

129 Easily accessible green space in every densely developed neighborhood with recreational 8/28/2019 1:38 PM activities geared towards neighborhood needs and interests.

130 Get rid of homeless and clean up the trash 8/28/2019 1:37 PM

131 My big idea is to build a separate pickleball facility, perhaps a combo of indoor and outdoor 8/28/2019 1:36 PM courts, that would be available 24 hours per day for pickleball, and that would be large enough to host major tournaments (that would help offset the cost of the facility). This is needed because of the huge increase in pickleball players, particularly the younger aged ones who are converting from tennis that they played in high school or college to pickleball.

132 SPR can continue and dive deeper into putting its equity and RSJI/ROSA goals into action. 8/28/2019 1:19 PM SPR can do this more effectively by living its principles at every level of management and addressing our own individual biases and how they affect our work.

133 How about one really big, modern aquatic facility! Something like the Lynnwood or especially 8/28/2019 1:13 PM the Snohomish pools. Our high schools should not have to go all the way to Snohomish, WA, to find a suitable location for Metro League competitions!

134 Perhaps more inter-generational events at parks 8/28/2019 1:08 PM

135 Our city desperately needs more OLA's for dogs. I live in Wallingford and off leash dogs are a 8/28/2019 1:05 PM massive problem. I have both a dog and kids and we're constantly running into off leash dogs which brings a whole host of problems. Consider turning all/most parks into OLA's before 9 am and after 9 pm!!!

136 Sponsor events that are marketed to the Park's service area--things like the summer picnic and 8/28/2019 1:04 PM the pet parade in Volunteer Park.

137 I think you’re doing a great job, thanks! 8/28/2019 1:01 PM

138 Open beaches, wading pools earlier. Offer family swim in the morning, most kids nap between 8/28/2019 12:59 PM 12am-4pm

139 Clean up the homeless areas. Clear the parks of needles, debris and human/pet waste. 8/28/2019 12:58 PM

140 Keep some community centers open longer hours and on weekends. Sponsor more culutural 8/28/2019 12:58 PM events and health promoting events in centers

141 More hours of operation. Some CC's really do need AC, and better lighting. 8/28/2019 12:55 PM

142 This survey is pretty long (34 questions). Also can you share how exactly the information will be 8/28/2019 12:49 PM used?

143 Provide multiage activities 8/28/2019 12:37 PM

144 Take back the green space from developments, homeless camps and update to aging 8/28/2019 11:50 AM equipment/facilities.

145 Maintain parks to a high degree. Design beautiful urban spaces and passive parks where 8/28/2019 5:34 AM appropriate.

146 Turf fields for lacrosse 8/27/2019 9:28 PM

195 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

147 More open space that demonstrates local plants, animals and beauty. 8/27/2019 8:49 PM

148 Never allow homeless camping 8/27/2019 8:36 PM

149 Enforce/educate about leash use in on-lease areas; minimize use of gas-powered maintenance 8/27/2019 8:05 PM equipment, move to electric instead; enforce prohibition of drones in parks; prohibit encampments--these are parks!

150 When I take my kids to a playground, I have to bring a bag to collect condoms, needles and 8/27/2019 7:40 PM bottles. Clamp down on the jerks who ruin our great NW.

151 Please fight for safe parks free of injection needles from drug addicts hanging out or living in 8/27/2019 6:05 PM and around parks. Please turf all fields and create more turf fields for adult rec soccer and sports in general! Please have better lighting in the parking lots for safety! Please take more responsibility for the safety of the people enjoying the parks!

152 Our city has grown so much in the last ten years and sport field capacity has barely changed. 8/27/2019 6:04 PM Golf rates are high and threat of loosing courses seems so short sighted. SPR tends to pit users against each other instead of making it better for everyone

153 Maintain the parks and facilities. Do something about antisocial behavior in parks. Enforce your 8/27/2019 4:46 PM rules! This survey is ridiculous. Many of us love open space and a chance to walk and enjoy nature. Organized recreation and planned (often exclusive) events only detract from that. You have plenty of ballfields and community centers. Use those for organized events.

154 Really interested in more outdoor pickleball courts spread throughout city. All tennis courts 8/27/2019 4:45 PM should have lines for multiple use. Pickleball center like Amy Yee has for tennis.

155 I think SPR should become 'greener' - ban the use of herbicides in parks, decrease use of 8/27/2019 2:41 PM rodenticides, be greener about use of power tools such as leaf blowers & weed whackers. Reduce emissions and lower our carbon foot print. Support healthy people and healthy environment (sound familiar?), Protect our precious natural areas and wildlife - including migratory and resident birds that use our park lands. Enforce leash laws!!! Off leash dogs are destructive to natural areas and wildlife.

156 Remove homeless encampments from parks. 8/27/2019 1:04 PM

157 Do more maintenance in the park; pick up the trash at public parks more frequently; play field 8/27/2019 8:53 AM next to Meany Middle School is heavily used yet maintenance is too infrequent. Trash is not picked up frequently enough. Provide parking at heavily used recreational areas so that people don't take up street parking that is used by local residents. Seattle does a very poor job of maintenance in certain parks that are not in well heeled neighborhoods.

158 Invest in more green space in more neighborhoods. Make Seattle Parks places to be proud of. 8/27/2019 6:49 AM

159 Focus on basic services and infrastructure. No porta potties. Invest in lasting structures and 8/26/2019 10:09 PM systems. Don’t need a carnival at each park.

160 Keep up the good work. Keep funding and maintaining for all 8/26/2019 9:29 PM

161 Maintain and add more natural open space 8/26/2019 8:25 PM

162 get off leash dogs out of the parks! stop using herbicides. stop using gas powered weed-eaters 8/26/2019 5:47 PM and leaf blowers. stop mowing in bird nesting areas

163 Fund improvements for Be'er Sheva Park! The plan was created by the Rainier Beach 8/26/2019 3:46 PM community and would help to increase access, activity, and exposure to this hidden gem in South Seattle.

164 Please install sod at Dragonfly Park in West Seattle. Having personally volunteered more hours 8/26/2019 3:08 PM there over the last two years than anyone else on an unrealistic restoration effort, I have no faith in the pie-in-the-sky aspirations of the volunteer group, as they were big on suggestions but never showed up to work. I have faith that the City’s sod idea is the best long term sustainable plan for all.

165 prioritize maintenance of our parks! do not purchase more land for parks. Maintain views at our 8/26/2019 3:06 PM unique 16 official viewpoints. Redo this survey as it omits all of the issues that are important to me (Olmsted vision, acquisition, maintenance, NO more off leash areas in our parks, active versus passive recreation).

196 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

166 Maintain what we already have. 8/26/2019 7:29 AM

167 1) more green spaces. 2) less over-building amenities 3) stop use of herbicides 8/25/2019 10:07 PM

168 Stricter control of dogs swimming in non off leash areas, more control of dogs. And I love dogs ! 8/25/2019 8:44 PM But most people blithely ignore areas

169 Please, protect undeveloped natural areas and green space! Perhaps more off-leash dog areas 8/25/2019 4:41 PM but paired with better signage, education and enforcement so off-leash dogs aren’t running everywhere in the parks. Please, be good environmental stewards — limit use of pesticides, control rat populations without poisons that then kill birds that prey on rats, preserve natural areas as well as providing other recreation (sports, youth programs etc) in some areas.

170 Having areas devoted to preschool and seniors. Indoor in the Lake City Area. We desperately 8/25/2019 12:21 PM need a modern community center. Like the Redmond center, Bothell and bellevue community centers.

171 Money. Most, if not all, of these additions and ideas require money. The budget isn’t there. 8/25/2019 11:13 AM Citizens want amenities but don’t want\can’t pay for them (taxing, admission, bonds, etc. etc.). It’s a disheartening reality to have less & less moneys available for P & R. Developers have money. As soon as the money is cut off for a P & R property, developers want to have it. Seldom does P&R buy from developers. My big idea! is to see P&R budget move up the ladder to a point of importance for all City residents: budget surplus instead of budget cuts. Since government runs on taxes, and corporations run on profits, the money shifts to Corps. They could open & operate parks and facilities, but then it becomes private which allows them to be exclusive and discriminatory. Therein lies the problem.

172 We need more green space Please acquire more open space 8/24/2019 8:01 PM

173 better collaborate with sdot and other city departments to coordinate grounds and trail care. no 8/24/2019 4:04 PM wants to hear that public space cannot be maintained because "it's not my department".

174 Create parks with places to SIT. Benches! Tables! Create space to HANG OUT. And who cares 8/24/2019 2:26 PM if someone might sleep on it. Jesus. Give us space to come together like NYC does. All the razing of housing with porches disconnects people. I want to go sit and look at and be around other people. I want a community gathering space, where I can sit outside.

175 Hire a visionary leader with a science background. Hire more educated 8/24/2019 10:54 AM ecologists/biologists....PHD's! Remember you work for me...the tax payer! Stop moving staff around like chess pieces. Stop saying NO as first response the every question. Train gardening crews about native plants and their care and maintenance. RESPECT VOLUNTEER GROUPS...and treat them as valued assets. Extend COMMUNITY CENTER HOURS , increase the staffing! Stop using Parks staff to deal with the homeless crisis. Stop using pesticides. Stop using power tools to mow down native plants! Pretend we are Bellevue...or NYC= Central Park! Stop talking about how much you will make when you retire next year!....I'm paying you and I don't want to hear about your sweet deal! Plant more trees! Plant bigger trees.

176 develop dedicated clusters of pickleball courts throughout the city and a year round 8/23/2019 11:00 AM indoor/outdoor pickleball facility which can accommodate several tournaments as well as league and daily drop in play.

177 More community/family events at community centers: outdoor movie nights, big day of play 8/22/2019 10:38 PM

178 Rebuild Lake City Community Center and include a pool. Consider public/private partnership 8/22/2019 8:07 PM with organizations such as YMCA to offer broad range of classes and swimming instruction.

179 Improved Aquatics Facilities! 8/22/2019 5:11 PM

180 Keep up the strong general maintenance 8/22/2019 4:34 PM

181 Increase the offerings at Garfield, Jefferson, and Rainier community centers so low income 8/22/2019 12:43 PM people can access programs. Do this. Don't discriminate and leave out Southeast Seattle!

182 I think SPR does a generally fantastic job. Would love to see at least one quality park is also 8/22/2019 11:21 AM off-leash (e.g. Medina Park). Medina Park is a great example of a destination park where a family can picnic in the grass and see the ducks on the lake, and our furry friends are also able to be off-leash. Seattle off-leash parks are really just for the dogs...dirty, gravel, woodchipped

197 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

areas with nothing to do other than stand and stare at the dogs. Even "larger" forested OLAs like Northacres or Marymoor aren't parks that meets this need.

183 Offer your facilities directly to groups that might need them. Promote your dance floors to local 8/22/2019 10:28 AM dance groups, promote your meeting rooms to the local knitting club, drop-in sports to Scout troops, etc.

184 Increase ceramics programs Citywide. The Seattle has NEVER expanded and the classes are 8/22/2019 7:27 AM all filled. Get rid of the wedding rental space at Alki and expand that studio. It was stupid to make it small. It is so small that it is unhealthy. The dust cannot be cleaned and ceramics dust is bad for the health. I can't work in that studio it is so dusty and it isn't the fault of the operators or students. It is too small to be sustainable. There are plenty of wedding rental spaces in the private sector. Get out of the wedding rental business and get that ceramic studio back to a workable size.

185 The City needs more green space! Or neighborhood, Lake City, has so much pavement. We 8/22/2019 7:01 AM know what green space does for physical and emotional well-being, and the City needs to invest in more of it. Our parks also need to act as a teaching facilities. There should be kiosks with information on coexisting with urban wildlife, how to report problems in the park (e.g. illegal dumping, needles, invasive species), and wats for people to volunteer with Parks/GSP.

186 Mixed use parks. Allow off leash access for dogs limited times early morning and evenings at 8/22/2019 6:12 AM SOME parks only. Well behaved could be off leash at these times. Owners would still, of course, need to pick up after their animals and have them in control. Walkers, joggers would be aware in control off leash dogs would be out( say before 8:15a.m. at these parks which have less fragile environments (for example NOT Discovery Park). Dogs need to run and be off lead at times. We have a lot of dogs in Seattle. Owners pay yearly licensing fees which go into the general fund. It is foolish to deny that these issues exist. We need more legal off leash area. Also dog owners spend a tremendous amount of time in neighborhoods and parks “patrolling” and noticing and reporting unsafe activities going on around us. I love natural Seattle, but feel dog owners presence at the parks should be acknowledged as an asset, not just a ticketing opportunities. We will continue to access the parks with dogs on lead AND off.

187 Very concerned that Parks included suggestion about zip lines in parks. We've been through 8/21/2019 11:33 PM this before. NO ZIP LINES IN SEATTLE PARKS.

188 N/A 8/21/2019 9:43 PM

189 Honor the lovely historic Olmsted Brothers vision that we are so blessed to have in this city. 8/21/2019 5:11 PM Seattle treats The Olmsted parks as an evil entity, while other cities promote and maintain the Olmsted legacy.

190 Community gardens including education on how to grow, harvest, and maintain gardens, 8/21/2019 4:32 PM including composting/permaculture would be wonderful. Building another indoor skatepark, similar to the one in Bellevue, would also be wonderful. Would love a community roller rink big enough to have derby bouts also.

191 Right now I am very happy with Seattle Parks especially Northgate Community Center. 8/21/2019 2:33 PM

192 Obtain more land and have more trees. 8/21/2019 1:22 PM

193 Better walking, biking, and transit infrastructure is needed so that all people can better access 8/21/2019 11:25 AM parks and community centers.

194 Provide quiet and connection with nature. Enforce rules concerning dogs on leash, areas where 8/21/2019 9:17 AM driving is prohibited.

195 More trees. That’s it ! 8/21/2019 6:35 AM

196 Create more green space in the urban core. 8/21/2019 6:23 AM

197 Clean the scumbags out of the public spaces. Parks should be clean, well-maintained 8/20/2019 10:56 PM NATURAL spaces, not the dumping ground for humanity's wreckage. By the way, your survey is horribly written, unprofessional, and a joke. Shame on whoever put this together.

198 Host more community-building events; get kids involved with volunteering; provide low-impact 8/20/2019 10:28 PM exercise options (like the yoga at Seattle Center) in neighborhood parks

199 The natural areas are essential for our increasingly dense city. I would like more people, 8/20/2019 10:21 PM especially those that live in Magnuson to have more exposure to the plants, animals and birds

198 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

in the park. There should be more emphasis on teaching all children and interested adults to swim. It would be worthwhile to give low cost exposure to adults and children to boating and kayaking skills. Most important is preserving the natural habitat in our parks for native plants and animals. This is becoming increasingly important, for our future citizens. It is also important that this be done without using dangerous pesticides and herbicides. People must feel that SPR is not only caring for the park, but the whole environment.

200 We need better transportation 8/20/2019 10:18 PM

201 More trees - this is CRITICAL to helping our city and residents adapt to our climate crisis. 8/20/2019 9:17 PM

202 Every neighborhood should have one or more parks - could be a pocket park, small 8/20/2019 9:17 PM playground, greenspace, etc. People should be able to get to such park space without having to drive.

203 Address homeless camping in the parks 8/20/2019 9:11 PM

204 Enforce no camping/ squatting rules in parks - tolerating leads to drug paraphernalia & garbage 8/20/2019 7:49 PM which creates uninviting, if not, dangerous parks environment.

205 Protect nature in the city. Keep all the big trees well maintained. Cut the ivy killing trees in the 8/20/2019 7:11 PM greenbelts. Focus on preserving and enhancing natural areas in the city for breathing room and places for urban wildlife.

206 Less commercial intrusion into public spaces and parks. More realistic, less ideological 8/20/2019 5:17 PM transportation/parking planning. Less management/consultant/nonprofit partner spending.

207 Bring back music festivals to Seward Park's amphitheater. 8/20/2019 5:01 PM

208 More green space; keep space clean and trash-free, better enforcement of off-leash dogs 8/20/2019 3:50 PM

209 Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in U.S. Seattle is woefully behind in adequately providing 8/20/2019 8:12 AM opportunities for play for the thousands of players, both young and old, in Seattle. Build outdoor courts - we will play. Tennis courts now are often not used. Pickleball has supplanted tennis as the most popular paddle / racquet sport, and the discrepancy in popularity is growing every year. Seattle needs to plan now for the future and convert some tennis courts to dedicated pickleball courts, while also lining more courts for pickleball.

210 Love our parks! 8/20/2019 7:40 AM

211 Open rec centers around the city on evenings and weekends so that working adults can access 8/20/2019 4:56 AM them year round. Improve pool facilities.

212 1 - Nature. Nature. Nature. We continue to have more concrete and less trees/habitat. 2 - Food 8/19/2019 11:49 PM should be available in INSIDE areas where the air is not full of propane or gasoline fumes. 3 - Information boards that instruct and help people to realize the treasure of our native flora and fauna as well as protected wildlife areas.

213 Do not sell out to developers 8/19/2019 10:10 PM

214 I think there is already a lot of awesome programming being done by SPR! I am often excited 8/19/2019 8:36 PM and impressed by events that are inclusive (accessibility such as gender neutral bathrooms, curb cuts/ramps, transit etc..), lift up or specifically serve those on the margins (programming for POC, LGBTQ folks, disabled folks, Indigenous folks etc..) and where I learn something new (about our city/our environment/other cultures etc..) Thanks!

215 More hours at the pool. 8/19/2019 7:47 PM

216 Remove all invasive species in Discovery Park by 202x, including blackberry, thistle, Scotch 8/19/2019 7:15 PM Broom, English Ivy.

217 1) SPR needs to become green! How is the City going to become carbon neutral with the 8/19/2019 6:53 PM direction SPR is going? Make green goals! No more food trucks powered by gas generators! The carbon footprint of that is not acceptable. No more gas-powered leaf blowers! Leaf-blowing with gas-powered motors is not acceptable in terms of emissions, with nothing to say for the noise and smell and how unnecessary much of it is. No more gas-powered weed-whacking. No more contracting out to companies that use gas-powered equipment; only hire companies that use electric/battery operated equipment. Be a driver in this! Cut down on gas-powered mowing. There is too much manicuring in our parks. Too many resources are spent on gas-mowers. Decrease the number of city golf courses. Make Seattle a more livable city. 2) Crack down on

199 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

off-leash dogs outside of OLAs. There are dogs everywhere, every day, but especially on weekends. There are no signs at Magnuson Park stating that dogs must be on a leash. There are no signs when exiting OLAs that dogs must be on a leash. If we can't have more Animal Control officers to patrol parks, then SPR staff need to become deputized or at least SAY something when they see dogs off leash! Staff at the beach at Discovery Park is good at this, but this is lacking in other parks. I am tired of dogs running through wild habitat, tired of dogs jumping up on me, tired of owners saying "oh, he's won't bite." Make the parks livable for ALL, not just for dog-owners. 3) Have a unified plan for rat control. Don't allow every tenant to hire a different pest control company. There are rat bait boxes everywhere. Create a healthy environment, pesticide free. 4) Cut down on herbicides. Thank you for finally discontinuing use of glyphosate in parks. Now keep going! We don't want poisons added to the soil or water. Healthy parks, healthy environment, healthy city. 5. Continue to install charging spots for electric vehicles in city parks. Make Seattle a leader! 6. Plant trees. Stop poisoning trees. We need trees, every tree we have, we need. The mission of GSP to remove every invasive tree is misguided and needs to be re-evaluated. Leave the English hawthorns alone. 7. No more clearing of exotic, invasive plants until cleared areas have been revegetated. Natural habitat has effectively been decreased with all the clearing. Make Seattle green again.

218 While improvements are always needed, I believe it's most important that everything is 8/19/2019 6:27 PM accessible to everyone- no matter the financial status, religion, culture, etc. I think sometimes, we think it's accessible, but in reality it's not. Not only that, but leaving some of the environment as it is for us to enjoy is important. We're living in a time where so much of our nature is being destroyed for more entertainment of citizens, but it's killing the environment and animals that live there, which will effect us as a society. Allowing us to learn about the environment in a safe way and keeping it how it is, is important. I think even learning outdoor survival skills or even basic medical skills (first aid, CPR, etc. this can be expensive to learn and through volunteers could be free and should be something everyone learns how to do) is highly important and should be made available. There should also be classes to learn basic life skills- something that can help those who are transitioning out of homelessness, foster homes, halfway housing, prison, etc. to help keep them on their feet and possibly prevent them from being in the situation they were before. This can also help high school students who may not have known these things, learn them before they possibly head to college and/or live on their own for the first time.

219 Our facilities must keep pace with our growing city. We are long overdue for additional properly 8/19/2019 5:22 PM funded and staffed community centers and new pools including more outdoor pools in more neighborhoods. With the money pouring into development in this city it is not right that we lag behind other major cities in access to parks and open space/resident that we endure cuts to staffing at our community centers:(

220 Don't take away facilities such as the golf courses. It is important for all ages, citizens and 8/19/2019 3:55 PM something that can't be replaced.

221 The homeless population is a huge barrier to enjoying our outdoor parks. There are needles, 8/19/2019 3:48 PM human excrement and garbage in the parks and it makes me want to stay away. I really wish the community centers and community pools had more open gym and open swim times. And a great indoor pool in West Seattle similar to Mountlake Terrace it Rainier Beach would be AWESOME

222 Include the 4 golf courses in the 12 year plan. Golf is currently the only parks activity that is 8/19/2019 1:58 PM paying for itself and other activities. The courses are used by all ages, sexes, cultural groups and income levels. Private courses are too expensive for most of us. PLEASE RETAIN THE GOLF COURSES!!!!!

223 Seattle P&R does a great job in general. I'd really like to see the public water access points 8/19/2019 1:24 PM upgraded - to include *access* to the water: a little strip of beach for lounging in the dry months, perhaps? Thank you for taking the steps to update these!

224 Preserving and enlarging as much natural outdoor space for hiking and walking with family and 8/19/2019 1:08 PM friends or solo). think Discovery Park!). These areas are to be treasured! Also create as many urban spaces as possible that offer safe, clean peaceful gardens as a respite from concrete of the city (think parks in Victoria and the waterfront in Vancouver BC! So excited about the changes in progress on our waterfront! In addition improvements and adding places for children and adults to enjoy their recreational sports of choice including swimming! Think Copenhagens waterfront swimming pool....now wouldn’t that be cool! Linear parks that are not traditional parks are wonderful additions to cities- once again Copenhagens several careless streets live as parks where people come together for all sorts of reasons. Another wonderful thing in this

200 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

day and age is that we have LED lighting and wonderfully lighting our streets in this manor lends an air of festivity and no doubt creates safer streets if a pedestrian street might come to fruition and for example dancing or music might be an activity in one of these “linear parks”. Why shouldn’t Seattle have pockets of those downtown and in different neighborhoods! Thanks for listening and good luck!

225 The evidence is clear that parks and nature have a huge positive impact on human beings. It 8/19/2019 12:42 PM makes them more creative, friendly and helpful. We need more forested areas. Lincoln Park comes to mind. But first you need to take better care of the parks you have... For example, there are people in Highland Park blasting music all day and night now that the spray park is open. We live 100 feet away and have to listen all day. I love to hear kids playing. I don't love to hear their crappy music all day. It sucks. We've called police and nothing happens. This makes a park more of a nuisance than a neighborhood asset. Also, you need more garbage/recycle cans and you need paid staff (not good neighbors like me and the guy at the church) to come through and make sure people clean up their mess. I am in HP most weekends cleaning up after these massive BBQ's. It's not my job but I want a clean park. You need to set up a schedule (with contact info) for BBQ's at HP. The place is mobbed now because of the spray park. Sometime 4-5 BBQ / birthdays at a time. Then, at least we know who left such a disgusting mess. Lastly, a huge problem is people using every park as their personal off leash dog park. People don't use the off leash park, they just come up to our neighborhood park and let their dogs run wild. Again, it sucks. Not to sound like a tightwad but I guess you need more rules, better signage and someone to enforce the rules all time. Park Cops!

226 Proactively buy land in the heart of increasingly densifying urban neighborhoods. Specifically 8/19/2019 12:17 PM work with Sound Transit in having open space near light rail stations after construction is completed.

227 increase number of P-Patch community gardens to increase community connections 8/19/2019 12:03 PM

228 we love the parks, thanks! 8/19/2019 11:38 AM

229 Lots of wasted space bc centers aren’t staffed appropriately. We pay lots of taxes and can’t 8/19/2019 11:23 AM even use the indoor gym when we need to bc there’s no staffing. Hours for available gym times should be available online 24/7 and IF adults don’t show up or kids don’t show up to use the gym, there should be an option for others to use the gyms.

230 Seattle Parks can't be everything to everybody. Seattle Parks needs: (1) Neighborhood specific 8/19/2019 10:51 AM parks planning, i.e documenting all private property exceptional trees, prioritizing park maintenance of natural areas and neighborhood specific community center programing. (2) Consider the creation of two separate city department- one that grows stuff (green) and one that builds stuff (grey). Green Parks must develop, preserve and maintain nature for citizen's physical safety, ie. reducing carbon and provide citizens emotional needs to connect with nature within the urban landscape. Seattle's green and open spaces are vital and need a separate governmental steward and a sacred budget. Ratio of green to grey is critical to Seattle's livability.

231 More off leash areas - there should be an off leash area at the Maple Leaf Reservoir 8/19/2019 10:40 AM

232 Make them safer, clean up the needles, put mounted police in the large parks as this will help 8/19/2019 10:22 AM prevent incidents and provide a good introduction of the police to our youth.

233 Urban farming. Educate residents about agricultural sustainability and create spaces where 8/19/2019 8:49 AM people can learn how to grow their own food & help feed members of the community who are in need. I know many who are very interested in sustainability and would love to learn how to supplement their food supply by growing their own.

234 Seattle needs more golf courses, not less. Please save the golf courses. 8/19/2019 8:45 AM

235 More swimming pools. Food trucks at parks for easy family dinners. 8/19/2019 8:20 AM

236 Protect and expand the wilder city parks. Wilderness is key to my connection to my 8/19/2019 8:08 AM (longtime/NW native) sense of home in Seattle. I think Seattle needs to work harder to remember its origins before we all forget what we love about our home in the PNW. Otherwise, maybe we should just take that job in D.C. or NYC or San Francisco, etc.

237 I would like to see Pickleball receive the attention it deserves. As a former Seattle Schools 8/19/2019 7:17 AM physical education specialist, I can assure you that Pickleball can be played and enjoyed by anyone age ten and above. I would like to see community centers promote the sport as an after

201 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

school activity with tournaments and leagues forming throughout the city. Please recognize and support the growing popularity of Pickleball.

238 Better manage people living in parks so that they do not destroy plants and soil. Preserve 8/19/2019 6:38 AM natural areas, do not develop natural areas.

239 Keep and enhance the golf courses! 8/18/2019 8:54 PM

240 improve safety and widen the scope of programs for adults 8/18/2019 6:31 PM

241 Get rid of the people living or sleeping on the streets. Get rid of drugs and smoke.It creates a 8/18/2019 6:13 PM scary and dirty environment. Help these people don’t enable or turn a blind eye. Have rules and enforce them.

242 Honestly, let's cover the basics. Toilets that are open, splash pad that are turned on, 8/18/2019 5:59 PM playgrounds that are accessible to people with disabilities. South Seattle is lacking the basics

243 In this whole survey I saw nothing related to increasing accessibility. What gives? People with 8/18/2019 5:44 PM disabilities visit our parks and community centers, too, but so few of them can meet the needs of the PWD community. Please reach out to me for some ideas for making parks and rec safer for our neurodiverse and disabled kids.

244 Enforce the laws- no tent encampments should be allowed to spring up in green spaces where 8/18/2019 5:17 PM families are trying to enjoy nature with their children

245 Lighted outdoor pickleball courts 8/18/2019 3:06 PM

246 Make them more accessible. Renting space to private groups means the rest of us cannot 8/18/2019 3:06 PM access it. This happens far too often.

247 Continue to invest in the resources that we already own and operate. The golf courses are a 8/18/2019 2:12 PM key part of our Parks program, and they're not mentioned once in this survey. Seems like an oversight at best, and intentional at worst. Golf is evolving away from elitist country clubs to short form, accessible versions of golf like pitch and putt, par-3, 9 hole rates, etc. Stop trying to squeeze revenue out of shrinking Experts-only-5-hour-18-hole-golfer demographic and start offering more accessible versions of golf. GROW the game to get revenue and more people enjoying the parks resources. Stop trying to use it as a cash cow and then claim it's not hitting it's goals.

248 I wish Parks had a way to both prioritize and complete needed maintenance of current parks 8/18/2019 1:22 PM and centers before going off and spending $$$ on something new. We need to keep what we already have in good shape first.

249 Keep Golf Courses 8/18/2019 11:28 AM

250 Seattle has great park infrastructure and access for many neighborhoods, so focus should be 8/18/2019 11:27 AM on equity. Serve those communities that are lack park access. Then work on facilities for the high impact (i.e. lots of people using) parks. Finally - enforcement is an issue. People are not using parks for recreation because they're being used for living. People need safe homes that are not our parks, but sweeps and clear outs are not a good solution either because housing insecure community members are also entitled to good park access.

251 Better maintained 8/18/2019 10:52 AM

252 A free community garden space in every park. 8/18/2019 10:39 AM

253 Create a parks violation team that monitors the fields making sure the large athletic clubs that 8/18/2019 10:15 AM selfishly utilize field without paying the fees are penalized.

254 Help the unsheltered 8/18/2019 10:08 AM

255 Preserve open spaces and public lands. Don't sell park lands for residential or commercial 8/18/2019 9:59 AM development. Enforce no camping rules.

256 Due to development, Seattle is losing ground on its goal to increase tree canopy to 30%. Let's 8/18/2019 9:40 AM use park land to reach that goal. For instance, re-purpose Jackson Park Golf Course to be a fully forested park with walking trails. Continue making pocket parks, but only plant trees on them.

257 Safe environments without homeless garbage everywhere. Seattle needs to enforce laws and 8/18/2019 9:38 AM maintain order. I will not Visit any parks or community centers right now due to lack of

202 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

enforcement!

258 Better maintenance on the tennis courts and a more affordable tennis courts to attend all the 8/18/2019 8:45 AM tennis courts in the city.

259 better marketing and more senior activities in covered facilities. More of us living downtown and 8/18/2019 8:10 AM where is the nearest center downtown???

260 SPR needs to get back to basics. Parks need to be protected for the enjoyment of all. People 8/17/2019 7:14 PM who are camping in parks should be immediately removed. People who frequent the parks to drink or do drugs shold be banned from the parks. People who run their dogs off leash in the parks should be ticketed. Four of my family members have been bitten by dogs and they have good reasons to fear off-leash dogs in the parks.

261 Market golf, more youth golf so the next generation will love it as much as me. 8/17/2019 5:01 PM

262 open view areas so more of our beautiful area can be seen. 8/17/2019 4:45 PM

263 Pickleball courts with lights and covering to enable play all year round. Lessons, clubs, 8/17/2019 4:37 PM multigenerational groups. Pickleball can bring a community together! It's the fastest growing sport in the country and originated in the Northwest -- let's embrace it and bring people of all ages, races, ethnicities, etc together! There's nothing like it.

264 Find a way to enforce the dogs on leash rules and areas where dogs are not allowed. Too many 8/17/2019 3:49 PM people ignore the rules and i hear from a lot of neighbors that it prevents them from going to the parks and creates tension between neighbors. Also the citywide homeless situation and drug problem makes parks more dangerous to visit. several neighbors have mentioned finding used needles in areas that their animals or kids use.

265 Take action on homeless camping. Many of the homeless do not clean up around their sites 8/17/2019 2:11 PM and leave a mess. Parents are reluctant to allow youth to roam because they may get injured at a homeless site by the trash, needles, and abandoned stuff left there.

266 Access to nature and open spaces and safety 8/17/2019 12:08 PM

271 More opportunities for volunteers to help with plant maintenance - weeding, pruning, invasives 8/17/2019 9:35 AM mitigation, view preservation, cultivation of native species

272 As mentioned before, we should celebrate our diversity and allow neighbors to get to know 8/17/2019 9:16 AM each other. I would love to see organized community projects like picking up trash, collecting supplies and helping out homeless neighbors, etc.

273 Improve and expand the green forested spaces. Make parks more natural and wildlife-friendly. 8/17/2019 8:49 AM Stop using herbicides like glyophospate

281 recognize that not everyone has children. even those of us who don't want to connect to 8/16/2019 10:48 PM community. increase your parks service to non-parental adults and you'll have many more people willing to support you.

282 Bathrooms for all. All the time. 8/16/2019 10:35 PM

284 Investment in our city's pools! 8/16/2019 8:51 PM

285 Soft-surface bike/hike trails through the large greenbelts, like Cheasty and West Duwamish. 8/16/2019 8:13 PM Built by community organizations and Evergreen Mountain Biking to current bike trail standards instead of SPR's outdated wide gravel or paved path standards. The work of building and maintaining such trails fosters restoration of neglected greenbelts, inceasing natural habitat as well as providing recreation and jobs for youth.

286 Sponsor coffee houses in winter. bring people together for no good reason. have music, tea, 8/16/2019 8:05 PM apple cider and newspapers.

287 Provide pay scale for local golf residents 8/16/2019 7:27 PM

288 Please put in some more pools with very affordable or free swim lessons. Drowning is a leading 8/16/2019 7:19 PM cause of death and we can be better. Creating more opportunities to enjoy the water will create a healthier, happier, more inclusive community. It is especially important that there is room for rentals for local swim teams along with city of Seattle related activities.

289 More natural settings 8/16/2019 5:18 PM

290 Do what you can to preserve existing park natural areas and greenspace and work to acquire 8/16/2019 5:18 PM more. They should be used for passive use only so everyone can enjoy equally and not sold to the latest trend or most vocal group for specialized need. We simply do not have space to accommodate each and every need. The parks should be available to everyone. As our city gets denser it is imperative for our health and well being that we have these spaces to mitigate climate change and thrive. Maintain quality recreational space, and gathering space for families, facilities for community and cultural activities.

291 Significantly increase the acreage of park space around this increasingly DENSE city. 8/16/2019 5:05 PM

292 Once a month in the summer, have 9 holes at one of the golf courses set aside for a community 8/16/2019 4:42 PM picnic.

293 KEEP ALL FOUR GOLF COURSES OPEN INTO THE FUTURE! 8/16/2019 4:27 PM

294 Make parks safe and clean by prohibiting drug addicts and homeless camps. 8/16/2019 3:58 PM

295 I keep the park maintenance number in my phone and regularly call when I find needles, graffiti, 8/16/2019 3:51 PM human waste, broken play equipment, etc. Other people at the park who are standing around tutting at the problems are always amazed when I call, because they don't know there is a line for this. You should post signs in all the parks and playgrounds with the maintenance number so people who see something wrong or dangerous, or just find graffiti, can report it while they're right there in the park. it will cut down the broken window effect. You should have a line for people to call when they see dogs off leash in the play areas--you should enforce this and inform park goers how to report it. I regularly see dogs pooping or peeing in the wood chips under play structures, despite posted signs saying dogs aren't allowed there. No one wants to be the one to confront the person breaking the rule, but it is also gross and unsafe for kids. It is currently unclear what people should do when they see this happening.

296 Not having one 8/16/2019 3:41 PM

297 protect Seattle Parks for the intended use for outdoor recreation, exercise, nature walks - - do 8/16/2019 3:37 PM not develop the city's property for housing and keep campers at paid camping facilities. Parks need to stay safe for public use.

298 Fix homeless problem 8/16/2019 3:25 PM

299 Keep the golf courses! 8/16/2019 3:13 PM

300 Make the playgrounds handicapped accessible so parents in wheelchairs can get to them and 8/16/2019 2:52 PM play with their children.and handicapped children can access them. Ramps and flat soft grounds. Make the beaches accessible to handicapped people. Put a ramp down to the water,

204 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

with railings for handicapped people to hold or pull themselves out of the water with. Make flat paved forest trails so handicapped people can access the forest too. If there’s a trail that leads to steps, have a sign at the start of that trail specifically stating that it’s not completely accessible. Create paved ramps on beaches so handicapped people with children can go with their kids down to the water. It’s hard enough being a handicapped single parent, not being able to access our parks makes it even more challenging. At this point, dogs get more accessible parks than handicapped people.... and that’s a bummer :(

301 more pools! 8/16/2019 2:41 PM

302 make spaces for roller derby 8/16/2019 2:29 PM

303 Enlarge Camp Long and provide more cabins and lots more programming at this underutilized 8/16/2019 2:29 PM asset in West Seattle.

304 I garden at a P-Patch, and love it. When I'm at the garden, I meet a lot of other gardeners and a 8/16/2019 1:36 PM lot of neighbors who don't garden, but enjoy coming to the garden. It's a peaceful, quiet oasis in the city. For me, the garden makes Seattle livable, connects me to my neighbors, and makes my life more interesting. I guess I'm not proposing a big idea-- but am encouraging you to keep up the good work! Thank you!

305 More green spaces!! 8/16/2019 1:11 PM

306 We have more people living in Seattle and we need more community centers, rec centers and 8/16/2019 1:02 PM pools for everyone.

307 More natural space to hike in without leaving the city! 8/16/2019 12:35 PM

308 The tent living is a problem. It makes the parks feel unsafe. Many times I've been to my p-patch 8/16/2019 12:09 PM only to find that the bathroom is occupied for more than an hour by one person who has nodded off.

309 KEEP HOMELESS OUT OF PARKS AND DO NOT ALLOW CAMPING IN PARKS. 8/16/2019 11:48 AM

310 Partner with local community organizations; dog training programs; Happy Hour & Coffee Hour; 8/16/2019 11:37 AM

311 No idea 8/16/2019 11:36 AM

312 Mountain bike trails would be great 8/16/2019 11:33 AM

313 Acknowledge that our urban wildlife are also residents. Don't try to jam too many people-centric 8/16/2019 11:23 AM activities into the parks that are the most important for biodiversity. Such efforts, even if they are the most popular results of this survey, will degrade the very things that make the larger, forested parks special.

314 More environmental education. Not classes...but signage, etc. Remind folks in frequent and 8/16/2019 11:20 AM unexpected ways about the value of our parks, trees, and green spaces.

315 Don't even think about selling off the parkland for development. It was a terrible idea to even do 8/16/2019 11:05 AM a study about it. We have plenty enough density already, and not enough trees. If there aren't enough people playing golf, and the traffic doesn't seem to indicate that, make it a regular park, not a development. There are plenty of slums in Lake City that could be made nicer and more dense.

316 Make a more inclusive variety of programs for those with disabilities and from marginalized 8/16/2019 10:52 AM communities. Collaborate with the UW Nature and Health Initiative,

317 With an NHL team coming to Seattle, we need ice rinks for recreational use - it's ridiculous that 8/16/2019 10:48 AM in a city our size we need to drive either to Shoreline or Kent to find ice... and build a decent SoCal/Baja inspired Mexican restaurant into it:) Also, a decent indoor aquatic center including a lap/diving pool, hot tub, lazy river, water slide, kids splash area - we currently have to drive to Federal Way, Bellevue, or Canada to find such a thing. Winter is long and it would be great to have such an indoor facility closer by....

318 Elevate the cultural diversity of Seattle by including events, programs, and a work culture that 8/16/2019 10:37 AM honors the various needs and norms of our community. For example, I was part of an African (Ghana) dance class in Cal Anderson Park, and some neighbors complained of the noise, so the cops came and made us stop the class. That experience doesn't make it feel like cultural arts and celebration of community is welcome in Seattle Parks. For sure SPR can't control what

205 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

the SPD does, but there should be an understanding between the two institutions that outdoor celebration is welcome, and this includes noise and deep joy!

319 This survey is flawed. Many people will think that they are supposed to choose one response or 8/16/2019 10:07 AM the other(s) in each question. You need an option for "I am not supportive of any of these". Why so many questions on dogs and dog parks as opposed to the many other specific types of park use? Thanks

320 Enforce leash laws, poop scoop laws, and no-dog areas (such as some beaches) in parks so 8/16/2019 10:03 AM that all can enjoy the outdoors without adverse impact to health or physical safety, including the physical safety of marine animals.

321 blackberry picking areas, bird habitat for bird watching, walking paths 8/16/2019 10:01 AM

322 You are focused on the wrong things. Programing and amenity areas are nice, but the city can't 8/16/2019 8:56 AM keep the parks we have clean and safe. It is irresponsible to spend any more tax payer money trying to "expand" park services. Please start with the following: 1. Homeless - People are not going to parks now because they are afraid of the homeless and crazy people. 2. Regular trash clean up 3. Grafitti removal 4. Clean & repair the current aminities Let's take care of what we have first then think about what to do next.

323 Increase your acquisition budget, buy more park land -- particularly surplus SCL substation 8/16/2019 8:14 AM properties for pocket parks in Ballard & West Seattle. BY THE WAY -- I did not answer ten of your questions because they either (a) provided only two options that generally didn't make sense, or specifically didn't apply to my interests, or (b) you provided no "other" category where I could comment.

324 Provide classes all year long instead of summer only. 8/16/2019 7:24 AM

325 Focus on the open, natural space we have and show how that is helping Seattle in numerous 8/16/2019 7:06 AM ways, from climate change to restoring native habitat. Use this wonderful resource to teach future generations about their natural environment in one of the world’s most beautiful cities and send out a cohort of environmentally aware and active kids. The parks are wonderful, there’s no need to tailor them to specific needs outside of community center offerings. On that note, community centers in less well off neighborhoods should have at least ten times the funding and should also be a focus of this initiative. Other than that, let’s shape the people to the parks, not the parks to the people, without a good understanding of the value of natural, open green space how can we combat the climate challenges we’ll be facing effectively?

326 First and foremost, thank you for all the work you do to keep the community parks and gardens 8/16/2019 6:51 AM beautifully maintained. Parsons park & Marshall are gorgeous, Myrtle Edwards has really come into it's own in the last few years, & water front parks around Alki are cleaned really well. Trash: Please, more trash cans!!! Dogs: Except for Marrymoor, Magnuson, Genesee, & Greenlake the dog parks are too small, mud pits full of giardia. It's not clean to take dogs to them. Big open spaces like Discovery Park, Lincoln Park, & Centennial/Myrtle Edwards would benefit from having open leash hours during non-peak times (and miserable weather). Prospect Park in NYC allows dogs off leash in the AM & evening under voice command. There are already parts of Discovery & Lincoln that do not get the foot traffic other parts of the parks get, areas where people take their dogs off leash, and it would be nice to do this legally. Educational programs: dog training & socialization. This city is full of dog owners that do not train, exercise, nor socialize their dogs enough. Why not be more proactive in offering community programs to curb this ugly, irresponsible behavior. Homeless: Parks cannot be campgrounds. It's not clean, period. We as a community should not have the risk of stepping on human feces or needles. It's not safe and immediately deters hoards of people from visiting parks. Fort Lawton / golf courses: DO NOT ALLOW PARKS TO BECOME LOW INCOME HOUSING. The city needs to deal with low income housing by getting tough on developers and rent control. City parks are already in low supply, don't give them up to a city council that proves time and again to misappropriate funds and not fix problems within their own reach. Once they're gone, you'll never get them back.

327 More parks in sense neighborhoods! 8/16/2019 6:46 AM

328 Protect our open and undeveloped spaces - don't let the parks get sucked up into too many 8/16/2019 6:44 AM "activities". The opportunity to sit and look and just "be" is more important in such a busy, congested city

329 Facility improvements for existing pools and building New large pool complexes. Aquatic 8/15/2019 11:50 PM programming and having access to modern aquatic facilities are important for swim teams, as

206 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

well as help to promote water safety and a healthy active lifestyle for all.

330 Don't allow people to camp in the parks. 8/15/2019 11:36 PM

331 safety, crime sometimes is happening at parks and doesn’t feel safe to take my kiddo 8/15/2019 11:29 PM

332 More activities that promote multi-generational and cross-cultural connectivity and community 8/15/2019 11:26 PM building. Everyone should feel like they belong at every offering/opportunity

333 Reach out and collaborate with more diverse cultures and areas that are underserved 8/15/2019 11:23 PM

334 Focus on serving were the need is greatest 8/15/2019 11:16 PM

335 off leash dog park on the sound. Lowman beach park!!!!! Put pickle ball there too!!!!! 8/15/2019 10:34 PM

336 Increase police patrols to keep drug users and other criminal activity out of parks, make more 8/15/2019 10:17 PM programs happen outside whenever possible, ask for more input regularly, open up all classes citywide in one online catalog that isn't so hard to navigate.

337 Food truck events, bike trails, bird watching, 8/15/2019 9:52 PM

338 safety - get rid of the drugs and the perverts and car break-ins are a big problem near my home 8/15/2019 9:51 PM

339 Improve accessibility: better restroom amenities for the disabled (adult changing tables), 8/15/2019 9:42 PM accessible swings at every play structure that has swings, good lighting, wide barrier free paths.

340 Build more pools 8/15/2019 9:41 PM

341 Need more kid friendly parks downtown; there are lots of kids that live downtown and barely 8/15/2019 9:39 PM any playgrounds.

342 Our family visits a Seattle Park or a Community Center several times a week. The bathroom 8/15/2019 9:29 PM facilities in most of the parks are horrendous. The parks depts need to enforce rules, like scoop laws, dogs off leash and camping/drug use in our parks. Seattle Parks are beautiful spaces. It's unfortunate to not have people respect it.

343 By educating your staff and adopting a positive attitude.. teaching the parks field staff what a 8/15/2019 9:27 PM native plant is ...or demanding the custodian wash the community center floor. Work in teams. Stop thinking about your lucrative retirement. Parks has such a nasty negative old boy attitude..clueless ..as is obvious by this survey! We just gave how much money and the community center hours are SLASHED..all our great classes cancelled..NO CALLS EVER RETURNED. What a sad joke.

344 Build a 10 lane 50 meter pool in Shoreline. :) 8/15/2019 9:22 PM

345 Have some community input events. This survey seemed to have a pretty limited scope and 8/15/2019 9:07 PM use.

346 Natural areas get overrun with off lease dogs, trash. More trash cans. Enforce fines for dogs off 8/15/2019 8:56 PM lease where they are supposed to be on lease. Have help more available for aid to dumped pets (chickens!).

347 Increased experienced maintenance in natural areas and landscapes. Expanded hours, 8/15/2019 8:52 PM increased staffing and improved maintenance in community centers.

348 Please keep doing what you do. I like learning about the history of Seattle parks, individually & 8/15/2019 8:45 PM collectively.

349 Don't turn a blind eye and allow camping in parks--the devastation to the natural environment 8/15/2019 8:35 PM and human health and safety concerns are too great to allow homeless people to live in our priceless parks. There are better ways and places to help those who suffer from homelessness. Don't close community centers. Walkable neighborhood access is key. Also, renovate when necessary--Greenlake Community Center is in dire need of repair.

350 It will make a more connected city by protecting our nature that we all enjoy so much. It will 8/15/2019 8:30 PM make more better by maintaining our facilities and adding more program.

351 Get the homeless out of the park--my son and I don't feel safe. 8/15/2019 8:10 PM

352 More north end public access beaches. 8/15/2019 7:43 PM

353 For god's sake, enforce the fucking transient laws! All of these improvements aren't worth shit if 8/15/2019 7:30 PM

207 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

you let homeless set up camp (literally) wherever they please.

354 Support SPD to keep drugs/drug users away and include them in events, also SFD ( always a 8/15/2019 7:21 PM crowd pleaser to have a truck available for the kids to look at)

355 More dog parks! 8/15/2019 6:52 PM

356 maintain unique forest and open space, ensure parks are clear of people living in tents, ensure 8/15/2019 6:44 PM parks are safe for kids and families

357 open centers on weekends even if it means not being open some week days (but you'll never 8/15/2019 6:36 PM do that because you are too dependant on day care dollars)

358 Less homeless people. They have made it very hard to want to go to parks though leaving 8/15/2019 6:30 PM trash, needles and they make it unsafe to visit while living there

359 Be more proactive about removing homeless people camping in parks. We no longer feel safe 8/15/2019 5:52 PM going to several parks that we used to visit all the time.

360 Visibility! I'm sure there's a lot of stuff around here but I usually only hear about it the day of or 8/15/2019 5:48 PM after the fact! Advertise where the nearest parks are in stores, post billboards with big and small events, use more bus ads! Cast a wider net and have more diverse event types, focus on accessibility including putting bike and bus routes near parks and conveniently mark what routes are near what park for people who may be coming from a different district or downtown from eastside/vice versa.

361 Keep the parks as quiet natural space. Do not add more activities. Parks are the only place in a 8/15/2019 5:36 PM large city where you find tall trees, quiet, tranquility, many birds, and sometimes marine life. The city has many other places for activities, food, and entertainment. Please, please, please keep parks as natural and untouched as possible. Otherwise people need to drive out of the city to find nature thus increasing our carbon footprint. If a park changes to an entertainment site, there may be no turning back. Thank you.

362 Better lighting 8/15/2019 5:24 PM

363 I think homeless people should be offered services and not allowed to live in parks. 8/15/2019 5:02 PM

364 Bathrooms at the dog park--Westcrest doesn't have any. 8/15/2019 5:01 PM

365 Get the word out in community blogs, newspapers 8/15/2019 4:57 PM

366 Work better with Seattle Public Schools to make more efficient use of resources and offer more 8/15/2019 4:48 PM opportunities to connect kids from school to activities.

367 Don’t try to be everything to everyone. Focus on parks first, and their maintenance. Then think 8/15/2019 4:44 PM about expanding recreation.

368 Security 8/15/2019 4:34 PM

369 People love what they know - make sure we preserve green spaces and plant life and teach 8/15/2019 4:32 PM kids and families about it.

370 VALUE AQUATICS and WOULD LIKE TO SEE CONTINUED SUPPORT OF AQUATIC 8/15/2019 4:30 PM SPORTS and especially for FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS.

371 More parks, keep our green spaces clean and safe- less homeless trolling around our kids. 8/15/2019 4:06 PM Keep the golf courses as they are-

372 Make parks feel safer! Also, enforce leash laws at beaches and other parks. 8/15/2019 4:06 PM

373 Conserve and add to parks natural areas. The population, and need for fresh air and 8/15/2019 3:54 PM connection with nature will only increase. Certainly don't diminish and give away Seattle public park space.

374 Support swim teams and support different cultures in the community 8/15/2019 3:53 PM

375 Get some security cams and work with the police to prosecute the car prowlers. 8/15/2019 3:47 PM

376 If you are really interested in keeping Seattle livable, connected and vibrant for ALL its 8/15/2019 3:47 PM residents, then you need to keep the four city/public golf courses as they are.

377 I wish I had big ideas, but the lack of dog parks where I live, and the number of dogs in the 8/15/2019 3:45 PM

208 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

area, seems to be the major problem currently.

378 More park concierges and/or increased safety. Camping and drug use shouldn't be allowed in 8/15/2019 3:43 PM our parks and green spaces.

379 Add more off leash areas! There's only one accessible beach in the city, and it is in an 8/15/2019 3:42 PM inaccessible corner served by only one bus route. The requirements for a new OLA are onerous compared to other Seattle Parks and Recreation spaces.

380 There are plenty of undeveloped areas Parks own. They need to finish those before they 8/15/2019 3:36 PM acquire new ones!

381 I love the Seattle parks and grateful for the swimming opportunities we have here. 8/15/2019 3:35 PM

382 Keep homeless people from taking over the parks that my tax dollars pay for. I'm afraid to go to 8/15/2019 3:23 PM parks downtown because of the homeless, now I'm afraid to take my kids to local neighborhood parks for the same reason. Give me back my parks!

383 Bikes 8/15/2019 3:14 PM

384 Covered outdoor areas with bbqs are great for gatherings. Sports fields can be used by children 8/15/2019 2:58 PM and adults. Maintained, well-lit trails are great for exercise and getting out in greenery.

385 safety, bathroom cleanliness, if yo cant empty garbage make people who pack it in, pack it out 8/15/2019 2:55 PM also...... small pocket parks with seating, a space to do something, public art in parks or sculpture that can be learned from, environmental education on plants and ecosystems, how to cut waste /reuse and not just recycle or use less, animal kindness, community events, more tennis courts with backwalls, maker creation spaces /events, hands on (music instruments, painting, sewing,

386 More bathrooms. 8/15/2019 2:46 PM

387 More off-leash dog areas or off-leash hours at parks with no dedicated off-leash areas. 8/15/2019 2:26 PM

388 Restrooms at all parks! I'm not going to take my family to a park if there are no restroom 8/15/2019 2:26 PM facilities!

389 More dog parks 8/15/2019 2:26 PM

390 Please, please, please put up more keep dogs on leash signs and make the 8/15/2019 2:26 PM penalty/consequences tougher for people who don't!!! There are so many that do not keep their dog on a leash at Lincoln Park and our precious wildlife will suffer.

391 Current parks and facilities are not always well cared for...pocket parks without trash bins, trees 8/15/2019 2:15 PM not pruned to allow path access, trash in parks not picked up.

392 build more housing near existing large parks 8/15/2019 2:15 PM

393 Better park programming in South Seattle (Georgetown, white center, etc). I feel like these 8/15/2019 2:12 PM parks are pretty neglected/forgotten.

394 share information about events 8/15/2019 2:06 PM

395 Save every available area of green space as we will never get it back! Don’t give up a park golf 8/15/2019 2:02 PM course or play field for housing, community buildings etc. We don’t have a Central Park but we have real wild green spaces to explore in the city. We should protect that above all else!

396 Support our pools! This is our single biggest use area and we need to keep the pools programs 8/15/2019 2:02 PM strong, staffed and well funded.

397 public facilities and parks in my neighborhood have become overrun with addicts and their 8/15/2019 2:01 PM trash. I don't want to expose myself or children to this! We feel unsafe.

398 Posting information about events directly at parks, security presence at parks that should draw 8/15/2019 1:56 PM children yet have history of issues including dirty needles, it’s super disheartening to have to avoid parks for children’s safety reasons because children are an afterthought to drug use in Seattle.

399 Update pools! Add more outdoor pools 8/15/2019 1:55 PM

400 Clean up homelessness and lawlessness in our city. Do not treat symptoms of homelessness, 8/15/2019 1:55 PM treat root cause. Do not have two sets of rules for homeless and law abiding citizens

209 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

401 More swimming pools, lap swim hours at existing pools. 8/15/2019 1:51 PM

402 Protect the precious green spaces that we have and ensure that they do not become developed 8/15/2019 1:41 PM over.

403 Parks need to be clean and safe for children. We need very strict enforcement against 8/15/2019 1:26 PM camping. Stray needles are a big problem throughout the city, but especially dangerous where kids play.

404 public safety -- for example, OLA in west seattle (highland park, I think?) is notorious for 8/15/2019 1:22 PM parking-lot car break-ins

405 I feel like the community centers in the richer neighborhoods are only catering to the rich. The 8/15/2019 1:20 PM classes and most camps have gotten completely unaffordable for middle class families.

406 Add more trees to all parks. Add water bottle fill stations instead of traditional water fountains. 8/15/2019 1:13 PM Enforce off-leash laws. Encourage community "picnic in the park" nights with some sort of small side-support information tables and short presentations or other entertainment.

407 more dog parks, affordable/free language learning opportunities other than English, organised 8/15/2019 1:04 PM community exercise groups

408 I go to the parks to connect with and enjoy nature - flora & wildlife. The increased number of 8/15/2019 12:40 PM dogs in the city and parks and pandering to them & their owners has negatively impacted the parks, and wildlife. Prefer to see separate, fenced places just for dogs & their owners, but the dog owners should be paying for it. Seattle City parks should not take away $ from providing service to people.

409 Make sure they are clean, maintained and accessible for everyone. 8/15/2019 12:38 PM

410 The parks should be a safe place to go enjoy our City - no vagrants should be allowed to loiter, 8/15/2019 12:37 PM live or defile our parks. A 50 meter pool and water park in Magnuson Park would be a great addition.

411 Improve/update the swimming pools and add outdoor pools! Every other city we visit has much 8/15/2019 12:32 PM more updated, newer swimming facilities, many of which are outdoors. In fact, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace have better swimming pool options than Seattle. In Seattle, to swim outdoors, families have to join private swim clubs. A huge missing piece from such an active, outdoor-loving city are outdoor and updated indoor pools for all of the public to access.

412 Revamp the whole department from top to bottom, and get a better partner to replace ARC 8/15/2019 12:28 PM

413 No thoughts at this time. 8/15/2019 12:26 PM

414 Require 1-2% for parks for any commercial or residential development then invest in local 8/15/2019 12:22 PM urban pocket parks with table games/play areas, establish protected bikeways to parks, replace large fields with astro turf/lighting for extended use, BETTER RESTROOMS. I didn't realize till recent Seattle Times articles that as a city we rank low in total park acreage. Develop all waterfront street ends, take these 100+ sites away from SDOT oversite.

415 Kick out the homeless from all the parks. They make the parks unsafe, unsanitary and 8/15/2019 12:20 PM unwelcoming.

416 Take care of the plants, our parks are disgraceful. I grew up in Portland which has beautifully 8/15/2019 12:16 PM maintained parks.

417 1. Keep swimming pools going. Swim team through Cascade Seim has been a real life changer 8/15/2019 12:15 PM for my teen. Also, more public swims for bored kids in the summer. 2. Please keep the Japanese gardens going. The Japanese garden by the Arboretum s/b free. I rarely visit, due to the cost. 3. More art classes (for kids and adults). There are very few classes, and they are rarely held in the Bitterlake/Northgate/Lakecity areas. 5. Please (!) do not close the golf courses and build low income housing. We need *more* green space, not less. The City Council members who eliminate green spaces will garner hostility and be voted out. 6. No homeless camping in the parks. Period. I volunteer at shelters as an overnight host. I am not unsympathetic to the homeless situation. But, parks must be preserved (no human waste, no needles, no trash) and safe for ALL citizens (including children). This is another issue that will get council members shown the door.

418 Start maintaining the older legacy facilities; like Colman pool! It is under utilized, and simply not 8/15/2019 12:15 PM

210 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

properly cared for. You have to take care of the things you have, before you ask for more money for new things! I am also extremely put off by the slovenly condition of all the outdoor bathroom/changing facilities in the parks. Seward Parks' Andrews Bay bathhouse and Alki Beach Bathhouse in particular, from my experience. With few exceptions, they are dirty, dark, and barely functional. I mean... really, it's disgusting and disgraceful! Seattle Parks is far too concerned with starting new projects, all the while robbing proper funding away from more deserving, older facilities. Our neighbors to the north of us, in Vancouver, really mop the floor with Seattles current Parks mentality and culture.

419 We need more green spaces. I really prefer PASSIVE park activity rather than so much noise 8/15/2019 12:14 PM and crowdedness in the parks and open spaces.

420 At least give the appearance of noticing that the entire city is not a playground for children. That 8/15/2019 12:09 PM a huge portion of residents are single adults. Stop with the playground equipment already - tired of paying for that. Create single adult spaces and events.

421 Make sure they are kept up. Lincoln Park is the jewel of West Seattle. Don't overuse it by 8/15/2019 12:03 PM adding concrete, keep up the little foot paths, nature not concrete please. Thank you.

422 Need to acquire more green space to meet human need for exposure to nature. Also need to 8/15/2019 12:03 PM maintain and restore natural areas. Also need to remove and prevent undesirable social trails which degrade human experience, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem services.

423 Better off leash areas. Only rock cover in a small square area is awful (Denny park) or fake 8/15/2019 12:02 PM grass is rather gross (SLU substation). Real grass and a water feature or two would be awesome

424 Stop focusing on stuff that's distractions, focus on core values like cleanliness, safety, evening 8/15/2019 12:00 PM hours. You're not negotiating trade partnerships or changing China's government's minds about anything. Stop it. And none of your citizens is more valuable than another, regardless of skin color, religion or lack thereof, or gender. Cut it out, pretty please. I really don't respect anyone working for this city anymore, and that's sad, as I came here in love with this city 30+ years ago. Stop it.

425 Please, please patrol our parks for homeless camping, drug paraphernalia, gang and criminal 8/15/2019 12:00 PM activity that make the parks that we love unsafe for the community that pays for and enjoys the parks.

426 Park should be Smoking/coping/ and Marijuana Free. I found this issue has arose since the 8/15/2019 11:56 AM past few years that prevents my family from visiting Seattle Park more often

427 Preserve open space and reduce off-leash dogs in the parks and on the beaches 8/15/2019 11:54 AM

428 No big idea, but I love you, Seattle parks! 8/15/2019 11:54 AM

429 In West Seattle there are no off leash dog parks where my dog could run. I have to drive and 8/15/2019 11:51 AM that sucks. There are more dogs than children in my neighborhood and I don’t understand why it’s so hard to get a dog park.

430 safety 8/15/2019 11:49 AM

431 As much as I love dogs, I do not believe dogs should be in our marine areas, the majority of 8/15/2019 11:43 AM which are marine protected reserves. Please take that into account and conform to it! I also believe that the three public golf courses are wonderful and should in no way be considered for other types of development. They are fun and affordable, and need to be promoted and funded adequately.

432 Improve swimming pool availability 8/15/2019 11:37 AM

433 provide as much natural, undeveloped, areas for trees and wildlife habitat so people can 8/15/2019 11:29 AM experience these things close to home

434 More active outreach, esp. to seniors 8/15/2019 11:25 AM

435 The off-leash areas for small/shy dogs are too small. I have small dogs that need space to run 8/15/2019 11:20 AM around!!!

436 Improve public transport. pedestrianize downtown areas of each neighborhood to create more 8/15/2019 11:19 AM urban parks and safer places to walk/ interact. enforce dog off leash laws so people don't let

211 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

their dogs foul verges, and run on beaches eg Discovery Park often has dogs running free on the beach and no one takes any notice of the wildlife being affected.

437 Stop trying to Disneyfy our parks, Leave them natural. No zip lines or hardscaping. 8/15/2019 11:11 AM

438 Get rid of the vagrants and needles 8/15/2019 11:10 AM

439 Just moved here, there is a lot of great things already going on. My only wish is to see more 8/15/2019 10:55 AM welfare checks that there aren't people camping/living in the parks leaving a mess if trash and drug debris. Also I noticed a lot of people don't pick up dog poop.

440 Increse budget for SPR to fix facilities 8/15/2019 10:45 AM

441 Connectivity to public transportation 8/15/2019 10:44 AM

442 More green space, more trees 8/15/2019 10:43 AM

443 Don't lock the restrooms? Most of my park use is solo trail-walking. Other.... fitness room, 8/15/2019 10:35 AM swimming and water exercise is at the YMCA. Their scholarships are a LOT better than Parks!

444 Keep golf courses! Better surveys, you need to be able to opt-out of questions... I don't have a 8/15/2019 10:34 AM dog, so my answer(s) to dog parks skew the reality. Same with community centers, they're not for me, but I still want them in our neighborhood. And I don't see how such a generalized questionnaire provides any real data to draw any real conclusions.

445 We need more outdoor pools which can be used year round - also the pools we have need 8/15/2019 10:32 AM better lighting and facilities need to be updated

446 More bicycling infrastructure, paved and unpaved. Especially unpaved trails through 8/15/2019 10:32 AM greenspaces. More neighborhood greenways that connect to each other. Connected bicycle networks that get us from park to park. Electric bikes are a disability rights and elder rights issue and need to be allowed everywhere regular bikes are. Lid I-5 and build a park with a community center. Turn more streets into parks: Broadway, University Way, etc.

447 Prevent car break-ins and theft in parking lots (examples: Lincoln Park and OLP at 9th and 8/15/2019 10:28 AM Henderson). Prevent homeless population from trashing our parks (same examples).

448 More dog parks. More enforcing of leash laws, litter laws in regular parks, a no idle policy and 8/15/2019 10:25 AM enforcement for parks with parking lots or nearby onstreet parking.

449 Preserve our parks from pressures to re-purpose park land for other uses (housing, parking 8/15/2019 10:24 AM etc.) Open spaces play an important role in building community and keeping Seattle a livable city as it increases density.

450 learn to respect and listen to your volunteers engender an attitude of cooperation reduce 8/15/2019 10:22 AM bureaucracy make it easier to communicate

451 Our parks are suffering at the hands of bigger city issues. Seattle's homelessness crisis and 8/15/2019 10:19 AM drug problems leave a mark on our parks with garbage, loitering, and visible active drug use. Individuals who are experiencing these serious issues need help and have a right to enjoy and use our parks; however, some activities and the evidence they leave alienate other park users and create unsafe conditions. SPR should work with other organizations to provide bathrooms, wash stations, sharps disposal containers, outreach, and assistance programs so that these activities and issues do not overrun our parks.

452 There needs to be a clear plan for approaching the homeless who camp in the parks. Currently 8/15/2019 10:18 AM it's a stalemate and no one seems to know what to do. If there is an issue with someone camping in a park, litter, drug use, etc, it gets bounced around between Parks, Police, Human Services. (Key recent example is the camper in Totem park in West Seattle). This is not effective and the public is unsure of where they should turn with concerns. I think there are many people in Seattle who do not use parks as much because they just don't want to confront this issue. I would hate to see programs and physical improvements go unenjoyed because there is a perception that it's better to stay away from parks because of these issues. I imagine the homeless population also experiences a variety of inconsistent rules, regs, and approaches by public agencies. I'm wondering what other cities do. If someone decided to camp right in the center of Central Park in NYC what happens? I encourage your engagement with City Council to come up with a clear plan around this issue. I know it's tough but it will make all the difference in how people (all people) feel about public spaces in our city. Also, there could be more small neighborhood parks. In my neighborhood we are about a 20 minute walk to two

212 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

parks in any direction. What if there were a small public space, even just a spot with a few benches, as a closer by neighborhood feature? I know I'd walk there every night, and hopefully would interact more with neighbors on my block as a result.

453 Increase outdoor swimming options, support biking to parks and rec facilities, provide STEM 8/15/2019 10:17 AM Makerspace times and events, open gym times, educate and support low impact consumption (reduce, re-use, make recycling easy, littering hard, volunteer opportunities in environmental leadership

454 I'm not sure if this is the scope of SPR but during a recent visit to Sweden I learned of a 8/15/2019 10:15 AM community program that is much like Buy Nothing for the whole wide community where if a neighbor has a need (a ride, a referral, a meal, some company) others can respond. Second thing to recommend is programming that offers facilitated family activities where families do things all together.Third thing is activities that pair up people from multiple generations.

455 Enforce control of dogs. 8/15/2019 10:10 AM

456 Take care of the parks we have! Greenlake walking path should be larger because so many 8/15/2019 10:02 AM walker on it. It is 1 park I feel safe at. Parks need better funding to be adding more space. The City Council is not allowing our fund to be used properly.

457 More long forested paths like the ones in Seward Park, more small dog parks in dense 8/15/2019 10:01 AM neighborhoods that are fully fenced with double gates like the one in Magnolia, more small local playgrounds like Ercolini.

458 Is there an email list that you send out that announces your programs? Something that comes 8/15/2019 10:00 AM out more regularly that reminds me what you have on offer. Please stop all the wasteful (plastic water bottles, etc) 5k, 10k etc runs. They are loud and so frequent that it is ridiculous and annoying. The worst recently was a stationary bicycling group by the Alki Bathhouse with its tents of wasteful items, extremely loud music and someone on a microphone before 9am. It was going on right next to the weekly Tai Chi season that has been going on for years. Completely ruining their experience. I'm tired of our parks looking and sounding like Venice Beach. The food trucks have also taken away from the natural beauty of many areas. People can bring their own food. If you are making money off this, I wish you would reconsider other revenue options. Maybe you have nothing to do with the permitting/permission for these activities, but in case you do, i wanted to mention it. I don't think these were exactly the 'big idea' you were looking for but there was no place else to put a comment like this in your survey. Thanks for listening. ~ Jennie (West Seattle, 44 years old)

459 Enforce off leash dog laws. I thought the survey was very hard to respond to. It seems that the 8/15/2019 9:58 AM "big ideas" would be creatively combining things not either or questions. Like, if you brought in food concessionaires can they help pay for improvements to basic facilities? More cultural events featuring food, music, adult and child activities. I don't find myself thinking to go to the community center nor do my children. I would have to think more about what would draw us there.

460 More pools 8/15/2019 9:57 AM

461 Maintain our parks better. Improve bathrooms, water fountains, seating, and shade. Enforce no 8/15/2019 9:56 AM camping and homeless use of facilities.

462 I would like to encourage you to maintain, improve and expand Seattle’s aquatic centers 8/15/2019 9:56 AM enabling rich and expansive competitive, recreational and fitness oriented facilities for swimmers. This is a sport and activity that provide low impact and healthy fitness opportunities. Competitive swimming is also an amazing sport for kids and teens. It is a coed and diverse sport encouraging equality. It is a sport and fitness option that all people can participate in including those that are struggling with obesity, illness and disability. There are competitive levels and options for all types and ages of people. Swimming is a growing and enriching sport for Seattle and I hope that you will continue to support and grow these facilities. Thank you!

463 Not sure 8/15/2019 9:53 AM

464 give them clean and safe. No outside development of natural areas create quiet places.. 8/15/2019 9:51 AM

465 Keep up the good work. 8/15/2019 9:51 AM

466 actually enforce off leash dogs outside off leash areas. I have RARELY been on a walk in a 8/15/2019 9:50 AM Seattle park without encountering off leash dogs, often in sensitive habitat areas right next to designated off leash areas. i have NEVER seen a dog owner be cited for having their dog off

213 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

leash in 30 years. i find it disheartening to see habitat invaded by off leash dogs that i have personally volunteered to improve. Dog owners are often extremely rude when politely asked to think about their off leash dog's impact i have only seen this problem get WORSE every year. i do not support development of any more dog off leash areas in Seattle parks.

467 We live surrounded by water, yet have insufficient indoor pool capacity to teach swimming and 8/15/2019 9:48 AM water safety during the majority of the year, nor to offer kids sufficient fitness and competition opportunities.

468 More parks, p-patches, and green spaces! It's great that the city is emphasizing density - we 8/15/2019 9:46 AM need it. But it shouldn't come at the cost of outdoor areas that residents can use. Yards are getting smaller or disappearing altogether - where are people supposed to go for recreation? What's going to soak up all the CO2 emissions? I was just in NYC for work, and if they didn't have Central Park, with its mix of "wildness" and recreation space, that city would be a miserable concrete mess.

469 I think you're doing great 8/15/2019 9:45 AM

470 Keeping the larger parks, at least, more natural, allowing visitors "quiet time" to unwind, 8/15/2019 9:42 AM destress, and connect with nature. Try to design them as such to encourage visitors to enjoy the parks in that manner. The only exception I'd make to my "noise rule", is that the sound of kids running and playing and having fun is welcome. (Although I may not want them constantly running around a bench I'm sitting on trying to relax! ;-) ). And, again, enforcement of leash laws for the safety, convenience, and enjoyment of *all* park users, human and canine, including that of the "offenders".

471 Preserve our parks!!! Especially Discovery! We have a population boom in Seattle and we all 8/15/2019 9:38 AM need open spaces, parks of all sizes, everywhere!

472 Keep the homeless population from sleeping in the parks (ex. Discovery park). More open 8/15/2019 9:38 AM gathering type events (live music, art shows, cultural events, even exercise classes) that anyone can come to. Better publicity for those events (flyers, Facebook, email). Volunteer opportunities to keep parks clean/landscaped would be amazing too, I know those exist but don't know how to find them or sign up. Accesibility of information is a big missing piece.

473 This may be impossible at this point, but wow, I really wish there were some way for us to have 8/15/2019 9:37 AM a huge, centrally located ‘main’ park that could serve as a gathering place for our city, providing a huge variety of activities and landscapes, like San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, NYC’s Central Park, or even Tacoma’s Point Defiance! How can we move Discovery Park into the Central District, or quadruple the size of Volunteer Park, or even integrate more genuinely forested paths into the city’s new waterfront??? Hey, you asked for big ideas!!

474 Ban camping in parks 8/15/2019 9:36 AM

475 better funding for community centers 8/15/2019 9:35 AM

476 As our city gets denser and denser, the need for spaces to congregate outside of the home will 8/15/2019 9:34 AM only grow. Our parks, community centers, and other public recreation spaces are a vital resource which will only become more in-demand for the next generation. Ensuring these spaces are safe, available, accessible, and enjoyable for all (families, childless adults, housed and unhoused alike) is vital. I'd love to see more quality, rentable spaces available in our parks and community centers (e.g., pavilions, event rooms, p-patches), as well as pay-to-participate activities (e.g., food truck round-ups, 5Ks, sports leagues, swimming lessons, beer festivals), which are revenue generators for the parks department - with the money raised funneled back into operating and capital costs to expand free amenities for all (e.g., BBQs and picnic tables, concierges, summer lifeguards at beaches, art installations, improved trails, play spaces, 24/7 restrooms). And for the love of all that's good and holy, please provide enough dog-friendly outdoor spaces that every single park isn't a de facto off-leash dog area (then maybe start actually enforcing those laws?) Those of us with allergies and/or dog trauma-related PTSD thank you for remembering that we have a right to be in outdoor spaces, too.

477 Add more lights and more skateboard oriented things. 8/15/2019 9:33 AM

478 Better maintenance of all sports fields. The turf fields aren't maintained and are going to need 8/15/2019 9:32 AM to be replaced multiple years earlier than if they were maintained. The grass fields honestly are "goat tracks", very uneven, poorly mowed and maintained. Find out what Federal Way does for their Celebration Park fields or King County for 60 Acres, because those fields are exponentially better for soccer.

214 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

479 Push the city to allow the parks to be a safe environment 8/15/2019 9:31 AM

480 Keep the swim programs strong with more hours and lap swims 8/15/2019 9:29 AM

481 Making outdoors more fun 8/15/2019 9:27 AM

482 Think bigger picture ( art, recreation, hiking, swimming, etc,) which will then automatically be 8/15/2019 9:24 AM more culturally inclusive.

483 LESS HOMELESS CAMPERS!!!! 8/15/2019 9:18 AM

484 Keep bathrooms open all year!! 8/15/2019 9:18 AM

485 Beautiful space for gathering and building community 8/15/2019 9:17 AM

486 More OLA, increased safety/security at city OLAs. OLAs with trails/woods. Lots of people live in 8/15/2019 9:15 AM this city without kids and with dogs - we don't need more playgrounds, we do need more OLA. Consider designated off-leash hours at parks (for example, allow off-leash playtime between 6am and 8am at Park X). Allow off-leash beach play in certain places - like the north end of Lincoln Park, this is not a swim beach and it could be seasonally restricted in consideration of seal pups. Find more creative ways to allow responsible dog owners to legally exercise their dogs!

487 Better planning of dog parks for longevity of pleasing grounds. (Knowing the terrain is heavily 8/15/2019 9:15 AM used and ends up a muddy, spewn mess.

488 Seattle needs both parks for active recreation and to preserve the natural environment - it 8/15/2019 9:12 AM shouldn't be "either...or" which the first part of this survey asks. Different parks, different functions. Same for some of the choices posed - sometimes you can select more than one choice,other times not- making one choice does not reflect my real opinion.

489 Delridge Day festival is a great example. Very community based, lots of kid fun, music, freebies, 8/15/2019 9:12 AM etc. Want to know my neighbors.

490 Preserve natural areas-do NOT convert to organized recreation. Build more swimming facilities 8/15/2019 9:11 AM for people of all ages. Add an open water swim park in Lake WA for open water swimmers. DO NOT violate I 42 by converting parkland to other purposes.

491 community outreach to homeless 8/15/2019 9:10 AM

492 Music, arts and culinary events ideally bring people to the park for a fun outing, who will/would 8/15/2019 9:10 AM then return for other types of fun activities and or functions.

493 Connect the dots - culinary/garden events, nature workshops, sustainable living classes, 8/15/2019 9:09 AM stewardship parties to highlight human beings are part of the natural world, the great outdoors, this BIg Blue Marble,& what each of us do every day affects it, affects all of us

494 Invest more money in the aquatic programs. Snohomish county has two great pools, Seattle 8/15/2019 9:08 AM has zero!

495 Go big on an aquatic facility for the 21st century. Something that functions for competition and 8/15/2019 9:08 AM education, can hold an ample number of spectators, and provide parking for them all. Solve the off leash dog issue on play fields. Enforce the off leash law. Keep parks safe for their intended use. We are an urban family with big kids and are using parks less because of the homeless campers perpetually found there day and night, on the fringes, play structures, and in bathrooms. I like the idea of more woodsy paths for their intended use, but right now they are doing more to hide seedy, criminal activity than foster healthy park use.

496 concierge service in Ballard is a great idea for inclusiveness. Could a variation of this be offered 8/15/2019 9:05 AM in other parks to build community?

497 Our green, open space (and trees) is shrinking and small, as compared to other large cities. 8/15/2019 9:03 AM Downtown has become uninhabitable and claustrophobic. I don't think our Mayor and City Council understand the relationship between greater open space for health and our need to combat climate change. We need a robust Tree Ordinance that recognizes our human needs and the pathway to our survival.

498 Improve maintenance of the outdoor areas of parks. 8/15/2019 9:01 AM

499 more programs for seniors 8/15/2019 9:00 AM

215 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

500 Dedicate at least 5% of beaches as clothing-optional designated. 8/15/2019 8:57 AM

501 Making them clean and safe is huge! We shouldn't have to scared of what we might stumble 8/15/2019 8:56 AM across in the bushes or in a dark corner, or deal with trash in our natural areas

502 Invest in the conservation and restoration of land near Seattle. Purchase and develop new 8/15/2019 8:56 AM parks with a focus on restoring natural ecosystems and developing low impact recreational activities such as hiking.

503 Enforce leash laws and no dogs on beach laws. 8/15/2019 8:55 AM

504 It’s nit just one idea but amidst all this development we are adding more people, kids and dogs 8/15/2019 8:53 AM in the same square footage and we are losing our green space, trees, and we need to add more walking/trail parks and more community centers or increase the facilities at our community centers and hours. It’s not and either Or. People need relaxing contemplative areas to be in nature and active spaces to play a team sport, go for a swim, take a class or use a sports court or exercise equipment. With more space set aside for both of these types of ares you will see a drop in stress, mental illness issues and crime...theres a direct connection.

505 Stop permitting people to live in and dump waste in our public green spaces. This is the number 8/15/2019 8:46 AM one issue that needs to be addressed before any additional projects should begin. We need to stop illegal dumping, drug use and camping in our parks. It is a detriment to the community and to wildlife.

506 more parks/recreation facilities close to residential area with activities for all ages/abilities and 8/15/2019 8:45 AM needs.

507 Provide materials to read or interpreter for educational nature walks 8/15/2019 8:43 AM

508 Keep and preserve open spaces (like golf courses and parks) from development. As the City 8/15/2019 8:42 AM population increases, these spaces will become more valuable in the future.

509 More investment in existing and new dog off-leash areas. Some of the dog parks need major 8/15/2019 8:39 AM redesign and upgrades.

510 Protect public golf! 8/15/2019 8:30 AM

511 Keep all of Seattle's Golf courses OPEN because they are an integral part of our parks system! 8/15/2019 8:29 AM

512 sorry; no big idea 8/15/2019 8:28 AM

513 A skill clinic/ Drop in basketball for kids (9-13) would bee great. 8/15/2019 8:28 AM

514 Seattle is growing and all the new people are also going to need some exposure to nature. You 8/15/2019 8:27 AM should be looking for ways to create new nature parks, not convert the nature we have into amusement areas.

515 modern facilities, safety 8/15/2019 8:24 AM

516 Let some parks be designed for kids while some are for enjoying nature and finding a bit of 8/15/2019 8:22 AM peace.

517 More events for/with local artists + musicians, yoga, dance 8/15/2019 8:21 AM

518 Continue to preserve green spaces throughout the city - of all different types - in all locations, 8/15/2019 8:12 AM as much as possible. Thank you for your efforts!

519 design with all-ages in mind, not catering only to the very young or old. 8/15/2019 8:06 AM

520 Build new, modern pools with more water space to meet the population needs and replace the 8/15/2019 8:06 AM old forward thrust pools. North Seattle desperately needs and could easily support an Olympic sized facility much like KCAC and a community swim club that could support it in Cascade Swim Club, Seattle's oldest and largest year-round swim club founded in 1959.

521 spend more time and money on maintenance and landscaping. I am appalled at the amount of 8/15/2019 8:06 AM weeds and dead plants that go unchecked. Also, the lack of graffiti removal and repair of benches, signs and buildings. Why build more parks if the current ones are not maintained? South Lake Union park is a great example. Absolutely beautiful for the first year or so, now it is in dire need of maintenance and plant care.

522 Keep expanding parks in neighborhoods where there are none or few available to residents. 8/15/2019 7:56 AM

216 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

Protect all existing parks from development.

523 Become as center for "We All Belong Here and Are Safe" to message anti-racist philosophy, be 8/15/2019 7:56 AM a sanctuary and information connector for immigrants and refugees.

524 More outdoor live theatre in the parks. 8/15/2019 7:55 AM

525 Need many more dog parks. 8/15/2019 7:54 AM

526 Improve awareness of programs 8/15/2019 7:54 AM

527 Assess the fee structure for activities and facility rental 8/15/2019 7:52 AM

528 Keep homeless people out of the parks. 8/15/2019 7:51 AM

529 Lower fees for pools; make sure parking is available near parks. 8/15/2019 7:48 AM

530 Please make cheaper offerings so that more can take advantage in sports and exercise related 8/15/2019 7:48 AM activities for adults and kids.

531 I live near some fine parks but do not have a community center nearby, that would be nice to 8/15/2019 7:32 AM have! I would like to order o see places for multigenerational workshops and activities

532 Please build more indoor tennis courts. Seattle is an avid tennis community and we need more 8/15/2019 7:31 AM place to play indoors.

533 First SPR needs to maintain the facilities. From building maintenance to keeping up the 8/15/2019 7:31 AM grounds. Also people need to feel safe when utilizing SPR facilities. Not the case in many city parks.

534 Maintain the parks we have better. Provide more trash containers near picnic tables. Make it 8/15/2019 7:21 AM easier for community groups to hold events in the park. Ensure park facilities are evenly distributed across Seattle and can be accessed by all.

535 The most significant issue is the homeless population's presence in the parks and the city's 8/15/2019 7:15 AM inability (and inaction as we've experienced in West Sea) to prevent and control it. Improved facilities etc. are worth nothing if we have tents and garbage in the parks.

536 Keep parks clean and safe. 8/15/2019 7:14 AM

537 I thought that the West Seattle Junction was supposed to get a community center as an urban 8/15/2019 7:12 AM village.

538 Big open spaces on waterfront and urban spaces 8/15/2019 7:12 AM

539 I love seattle parks. You are doing a great job. I appreciate the opportunity to weigh in on the 8/15/2019 7:11 AM strategic plan.

540 Invite community members who are interested to lead a group or share an interest/ hobby/ put 8/15/2019 7:07 AM up a pop up exhibit of something they’ve created. Encourage neighborhood book clubs or group discussions- with the intent that community members would lead & promote. etc. in their local park.

541 Less Lawn. More Trees. 8/15/2019 7:04 AM

542 Make mountain bike trails. I have to drive all the way to duthie hill to ride with my six year old. 8/15/2019 7:03 AM

543 Leave our big natural parks free from quasicommercial activities and events. 8/15/2019 7:01 AM

544 Keep parks natural. Serene, quiet space is becoming ever more important in this crowded city. 8/15/2019 6:59 AM Parks need more enforcement officers. Off-leash dogs, illegal activity (such as drug use) and campers must not be tolerated.

545 Making sure to keep the green spaces we have and opening others for use Keeping the spaces 8/15/2019 6:58 AM safe and maintained

546 Modern and attractive spaces that can be rented for parties or events. 8/15/2019 6:46 AM

547 Increase security and discourage/prevent homeless campers from taking up residency, as their 8/15/2019 6:40 AM used needles, human waste and garbage is a deterrent in my wanting to visit many Seattle parks as I don’t feel safe going to them at this time.

217 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

548 N/A 8/15/2019 6:28 AM

549 With amount of development that has occurred in Seattle, it is imperative that the City preserve 8/15/2019 6:24 AM the natural areas in parks and green spaces and find opportunities to expand particularly in underserved areas. Study after study has indicated having access to these spaces benefits everyone’s health and well being. I would like to see the City to make a commitment in hiring several ecologists to help the staff and gardeners better steward these spaces. Establishing volunteers who help monitor specific areas for litter, damage, etc. All of these areas should have access to a outhouse and trash can at the entrance/exit at minimum.

550 limit parking at our larger parks. more seating along walking routes. more and cleaner toilets. 8/15/2019 6:21 AM

551 Facilitate neighborhood connections - through walking/exercise groups or gardening groups - 8/15/2019 6:06 AM but get people together in their neighborhoods, not just at community centers.

552 Thank you 8/15/2019 6:05 AM

553 All SPS kids have swim lessons as part of the curriculum. More pools are needed but swim 8/15/2019 6:03 AM safety is important. I grew up in a district where every child had to learn swim and safety basics including cpr. Parks and schools need to work together.

554 Seattle has a few hundred thousand more people living in city limits than before, we are urged 8/15/2019 5:58 AM to drive less but parks, pools, OLA w water all that goes with parks & rec is at pace from many decades ago. The few good open spaces, like Alki Beach, are "loved to death" and it is just getting worse. Funding has been voted for parks & Recreation but it is unclear where those dollars are going. Get busy!

555 Urban density has destroyed our parks. Too many people at regular parks and dogs at dog 8/15/2019 5:44 AM parks. You feel like you are visiting Pike Place Market not a park or off leash area. We need fewer events not more. Parks are for piece and quiet. Dogs need natural places not fenced mud pits to be dogs! Not all dogs want to play some just want to sniff some moss and frolic.

556 integrate play spaces into the unique characteristics and traits of the land 8/15/2019 5:25 AM

557 More outdoor concerts Winter activities 8/15/2019 4:57 AM

558 Covered, lit outdoor play areas for kids after school in the winter 8/15/2019 4:43 AM

559 An idea that West Seattle has been asking for for decades. Please develop a master trails plan 8/15/2019 2:05 AM that activates the West Duwamish Greenbelt, connects our neighborhoods, and points of interest. Please add trail-heads, improve trail access and also improve trails systems within the developed portions of our parks with new signage and connections to encourage more use of the wooded trails.

560 More programs for babies to preschoolers. 8/15/2019 1:35 AM

561 More Pickleball/Table Tennis areas, and more trails for hiking/walking, more upkeep on existing 8/15/2019 1:27 AM trails.

562 Add more dog parks and rock shows 8/15/2019 1:25 AM

563 Remove vagrants, campers and enforce laws. Cite off leash dog owners. I realize that city 8/15/2019 1:19 AM government is adverse to actual civil society and considers parks safe havens but I rarely visit certain parks due to the real and perceived danger. I shouldn't have to lock my car, hide my valuables, watch which trails I walk or have dogs approach me off leash in normal park areas. Seattle parks should have enough money from the city and the parks district to make parks enjoyable to all and not let certain segments of society run rampant. I visit parks and follow the rules. I expect others to do so as well. The parks department is the party that is responsible for making sure everyone does.

564 Open, clean bathrooms at every park, seriously. Also, make it easier to contribute to the 8/15/2019 1:10 AM vibrancy of a neighborhood by removing the excessive bureaucracy and permitting fees and procedures required for offering public events and creating art in parks. The current system makes it difficult for lower-privelege community members to contribute their diverse offerings.

565 More outreach to local communities 8/15/2019 12:51 AM

566 more walking and biking connections within and between neighborhoods. many parks and 8/15/2019 12:45 AM greenspaces in my neighborhood have the potential for new trails that could offer amazing

218 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

experiences and views but are left to weeds or are inaccessible. Nothing is better than leaving the car at home and walking through a park to your destination.

567 I would love for the pools to be more accessible monetarily. It is frustrating to pay the same 8/15/2019 12:24 AM amount whether you come for a 3 hour session or a 1 hour lap swim and that you have to leave at the end no matter when you arrived. It makes working it into a schedule difficult. I think a flat fee, even a slightly higher one which gets you in for as many sessions as you want to stay for makes more sense. Also some more winter activities would be great, maybe ice skating rinks or holiday markets.

568 Make the parks clean and safe to visit. Unauthorized campers in our parks make me feel 8/14/2019 11:56 PM unsafe to visit alone (ie Lincoln Park trails). Clean up garbage, remove campers. Perhaps try to lessen breakins in parking areas.

569 Keep up the good work! 8/14/2019 11:49 PM

570 Charge impact fees on new development to help keep the park space to person ratio in Seattle 8/14/2019 11:46 PM high!

571 Increase the number of walking trails and parks with quiet spaces and lots of trees. 8/14/2019 11:36 PM

572 Advocate for safe, clean parks. 8/14/2019 11:29 PM

573 Extend the season for the splash pads and wading pools. It is always hot before the season 8/14/2019 11:18 PM starts and stays hot sometimes long after.

574 Keep private contractors out of our parks. Do not use them as a revenue source for the city. 8/14/2019 11:14 PM Value and preserve our natural areas and protect habitat for native species.

575 Get class lists/ offerings distributed more widely. Have online calendars published in multiple 8/14/2019 11:13 PM places. Neighborhood libraries. Schools Jamba Juice. Any place people gather. Not paper books just reminders to go online during sign up periods.

576 More support for biking! Maybe another velodrome! I used to live in Bellevue and I miss having 8/14/2019 11:09 PM access to the one in Marymoor.

577 Make the Sound visible from the Lincoln Park pool. Why is there a concrete wall where you 8/14/2019 11:05 PM can't see the sound from the pool?????

578 Take action to increase park equity. For example, a whole bunch of money was spent to create 8/14/2019 11:01 PM maple leaf reservoir park - I drive my kids there; it's awesome. But the people in that neighborhood are well-to-do and don't need help. There are many areas of the City, like Lake City, Olympic Hills, and others that have many more low income residents and not nearly as many wonderful park opportunities. Build a Maple Leaf Reservoir Park in Lake City or Olympic Hills or Rainier Beach or somewhere the community doesn't already have a ton of money and a ton of park space. (Maple Leaf Residents were already right up the street from green lake; they didn't need more park benefits as much as lots of other neighborhoods did!).

579 I don't have any big ideas, but the idea that golf courses should provide house is definitely not a 8/14/2019 11:01 PM good or big new idea. Not so long ago, the city was touting the idea that we needed to improve our tree canopy. Green spaces are essential for a vibrant and livable city.

580 Keep the green space we have. Do not turn golf courses or parks into housing. Enforce 8/14/2019 11:00 PM camping rules and public smoking rules related to cannabis consumption. Add security elements such as cameras or lighting and prosecute graffiti vandals. Keep our parks clean

581 Convert all golf courses to general parks. It’s rediculous that niche sports take up so much 8/14/2019 10:53 PM public land.

582 Follow what Bend Oregon does for parks and recreation. They have it all and do it right!!! There 8/14/2019 10:47 PM parks are safe, clean, we’ll maintained, strategically located in each residential and commercial areas, recreation filled - local residence flock to their parks and utilize them daily! There are always lots of outdoor activities going on - concerts, fun runs, markets, festivals, water sports, on and on.

583 Build pools. Stop being so restricted on hours of use 8/14/2019 10:35 PM

584 N/a 8/14/2019 10:31 PM

585 If homelessness is a crisis, maybe we could actually do something about it - like enforcing drug 8/14/2019 10:30 PM

219 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

laws, increasing mental health facilities, not letting prolific offenders continue to go free with little incentive to change, etc. They are residents of the city who are misserved, which results in a less livable community for us all.

586 More pools in West Seattle. Playgrounds for every micro neighborhood 8/14/2019 10:29 PM

587 Organize transportation for larger programs or events for people from other neighborhoods. 8/14/2019 10:21 PM

588 More outdoor pools and open earlier and later 7 days a week. Seattle given its size needs at 8/14/2019 10:19 PM least two indoor aquatic centers (like moses aquatic center in renton but indoors so it can operate year round.

589 Seattle park and recreation staff have more visibility, 8/14/2019 10:13 PM

590 Everyone should be able to get to a public open space without crossing an arterial. 8/14/2019 10:05 PM

591 Permaculture 8/14/2019 10:04 PM

592 I have to say that I am truly Disappointed with the timing of projects. The loyal heights 8/14/2019 10:01 PM community center playground had been put off even after a giant tree crushed the main part of the playground equipment. We have been traveling to neighboring cities for much cleaner completed parks.

593 Don't waste money on things people don't want. Do make parks safe, natural, peaceful, quiet, 8/14/2019 9:47 PM and beautiful.

594 More green space set up to support community events and meetings 8/14/2019 9:46 PM

595 Clean and maintain the parks and landscaping--and get the tents out! 8/14/2019 9:43 PM

596 More lighting at parks (Ercolini) during winter hours when getting outside is tough but 8/14/2019 9:15 PM necessary. Kids can't play at parks at 4pm when it starts getting dark if there is no lighting. We have tried to bring our own and ended up with serious injuries: broken teeth and busted face. More inclusive programs and training for staff. Exercise equipment in community centers. Provide booklets to area schools to take home with them advertising about local happenings at the community center nearby. Or have a fall open house at the local centers where people can come in and find out what is happening at the community center for that year.

597 Find activities that bring together a diverse population. 8/14/2019 9:13 PM

598 Take care of and preserve the land and space we have. Don’t relinquish any of it to developers 8/14/2019 9:13 PM or illegal activities....drugs, campers, etc. the green spaces we have are important for the well- being of Seattle. Trees clean the air. Get people moving. Have a walking promenade along the water or someplace with a view to draw people too walk for their health. For instance, White Rock, BC

599 Make it easier for community groups to hold events in the parks without having to pay a use fee 8/14/2019 9:08 PM and have insurance.

600 Additional parks. Convert existing golf courses to parks! 8/14/2019 9:05 PM

601 Enforce dog leash laws (except, of course, in off-leash areas). Off-leash dogs can ruin the park 8/14/2019 8:57 PM experience for young kids, people with dog phobias, and properly leased dogs.

602 Have an integrated connection of greenways between parks! 8/14/2019 8:52 PM

603 Install security cameras and keep Graffiti out of the park. The Beacon Hill Playfield gets tagged 8/14/2019 8:51 PM EVERY weekend. On Mon it's noticed. On Tues or Wed it's cleaned. The next weekend it's back by the South Side Local 13 Gang members and I'm sick and tired of seeing it and paying for the cleanup. We're taking 50 times per year! In the 15 years I've live across the street, it's been tagged and cleaned 225 times. Absolute nonsense!!!

604 Keep the parks safe!! Keep the parks maintained! 8/14/2019 8:34 PM

605 Take care of the parks you have before investing in new parks 8/14/2019 8:32 PM

609 Bring more nature into the area 8/14/2019 7:57 PM

610 Don’t cave to the off leash dog park advocates! They have an over-sized, aggressive presence 8/14/2019 7:35 PM at community meetings that force Parks to prioritize their needs - Just look at what % of this survey is about off leash dog parks!

611 survey us on an ongoing basis about issues and programs 8/14/2019 7:32 PM

612 Love the idea of grants for community groups that use the park (Believe you're doing that 8/14/2019 7:32 PM now...let's expand it)

613 The thing that is missing in most of your choices is that we need rain shelters. Especially in dog 8/14/2019 7:27 PM parks. Bathrooms would help a lot. But then you have to figure out how to make our parks safe to visit. Get the campers out please.

614 Gotta get campers out of parks. Step 1, offer services. Step 2, remove those who turn them 8/14/2019 7:22 PM down.

615 Improve the maintenance of the Parks we have so people want to visit them without seeing how 8/14/2019 7:18 PM run down they are.

616 Take the watering weather benefit and develop a great 4 season flower garden for tourist as 8/14/2019 7:10 PM well as local people

617 Keep trash picked up in parks and maintain restrooms even to the point of making them nice to 8/14/2019 7:05 PM be in.

618 SPR should acquire Myers Parcels & turn it into a cultural/environmental/educational park 8/14/2019 7:01 PM focusing on demonstrating Salish culture. Get the tribes, schools, community, & environmental NGOs involved to help.

619 Market free activities to people of all ages through a variety of media (flyers, mailings, online 8/14/2019 6:57 PM ads, etc)

620 More classes for active people during the day! 8/14/2019 6:56 PM

621 Safety is a top issue, whether that is for traveling to and from the parks, or for being able to go 8/14/2019 6:41 PM for a walk without being rushed and knocked over by someone's unleashed dogs. Parks should NOT be scary places!

622 Need to push back the homeless camping in and around parks and open spaces. It’s not safe 8/14/2019 6:28 PM and detracts from Seattle

623 We need open and clean restrooms that are reliable. 8/14/2019 6:11 PM

624 adequately fund our Magnolia Community center that is now required to be closed on 8/14/2019 6:09 PM Saturdays. Buy more open space and natural areas to mitigate for increased density and loss of green space

625 We need funds to make Cayton Corner Park a reality. We are near completing the design 8/14/2019 6:08 PM phase and will be ready for construction next year. Please send money!!!!!!!!!!

626 none 8/14/2019 6:05 PM

627 Continue the good work keeping our parks beautiful and well cared for. Make it easy for us to 8/14/2019 6:04 PM get information about events, perhaps have an electronic information board outside near the community center that would inform about specific events going on.

628 Boat rentals up to it parked at Seward Park 8/14/2019 5:56 PM

629 Stop public/private partnerships; add more parks rather than decrease our parks; Rebuild our 8/14/2019 5:54 PM community centers; remove the City Council as Parks District Board and elect one member from each Council district to the Board

630 Build mountain biking paths Increase kayak rentals, keeping fees low 8/14/2019 5:48 PM

631 Replace Jackson Park Golf Course with walking trails, community center, etc. that can be used 8/14/2019 5:46 PM by everyone in North Seattle, not just a few golfers. We have no large park in the area.

632 Maintain a sense of open space and the natural world with our shared park spaces. Urban 8/14/2019 5:46 PM residential density is only going to increase - we need to keep "wild", unprogrammed space

221 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

available to all. People need the out of doors to reinvigorate themselves in our screen heavy world.

633 Smaller neighborhood parks in each community 8/14/2019 5:44 PM

634 Keep them clean and well maintained. 8/14/2019 5:35 PM

635 Outdoor focused groups for children. Gardening club or hiking club. 8/14/2019 5:30 PM

636 Make the culture within parks administration more community friendly. Maintain parks better. 8/14/2019 5:30 PM The park in my neighborhood barely gets grass cut, the OLA is avoided for being dirty and the park has no programming at all.

637 Help promote connected bike trails to/from parks; host more neighborhood pop-up festivals; put 8/14/2019 5:28 PM sit-down cafes in the parks (or allow food trucks in parks)

638 Better oversight of off leash dogs in parks that restrict this. And oversight of unauthorized 8/14/2019 5:23 PM camps in parks.

639 Construct band shells and have musical concerts 8/14/2019 5:17 PM

640 Build a top rate first class indoor swimming pool with lots of lap lanes, bug warm therapy/kid 8/14/2019 5:16 PM pool, splash area for tots. We DO NOT need outdoor pools, and our indoor pools are sadly out of date.

641 Please, more dog parks - way too few for the number of dogs we have in the city. Also - better 8/14/2019 5:13 PM educate with signage how important it is to pick up after your dog - too many dog owners DO NOT pick up after their dog!

642 More free activities. 8/14/2019 5:09 PM

643 PRESERVE OUR GOLF COURSES! HANDS OFF SEATTLE GOLF! 8/14/2019 4:57 PM

644 Keep all community centers open on the weekends!!! Very sad that the Queen Anne community 8/14/2019 4:46 PM center is no longer open on Sat

645 Enforce off-leash dog rules in parks like Discovery Park and use the revenue towards adding 8/14/2019 4:44 PM more dog parks or improving existing ones.

646 Keep green space GREEN! Decision on Discovery Park is a disaster. 8/14/2019 4:09 PM

647 My major interest is in nature oriented parks such as Discovery and Carkeep. Please keep 8/14/2019 3:22 PM development limited in these parks so that visitors can experience both solitude and nature. This is highly important in an increasingly urbanized Seattle. The nature parks should not be made in playgrounds or dog parks.

648 The entire pickleball community has been looking for a complex with 12 courts that are covered 8/14/2019 2:55 PM so that we could play when the weather isn't so friendly. We have been facing unmaintained courts and a very limited volume of courts (without using costly concrete tape for lines and using portable nets brought by players) there are more than 50 players every Saturday and Sunday lined up to play but with only two dedicated courts it's a challenge to not have long waits for a game. Other cities across the country have begun building pickleball complexes and are exploding with popularity. https://m.facebook.com/story.php? story_fbid=2338334796215126&id=612055942176362&sfnsn=mo This is just one of many that are happening everywhere but here. The demand and player base are continually growing including all genders, races, and ages. We need a place to play and I truly hope to see this happen in the near future while there's still space in the city.

649 Expand your physical presence! As density increases, more parks and pools become 8/14/2019 2:18 PM necessary. These things should feel spacious because no one can unwind in a crowd.

650 Every urban village should have a community center with a pool. 8/14/2019 1:58 PM

651 repurpose the golf courses! 8/14/2019 1:36 PM

652 Big idea? Retractible roof over Queen Anne Pool :) 8/14/2019 1:27 PM

653 Ok this is kind of crazy but I want to know logistically if it's possible. 1. Find a road intersection 8/14/2019 1:21 PM with very low car traffic 2. Turn the intersection into a mini farm w bike paths. What do you think? Email me at [email protected] if this is even remotely a good idea

222 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

654 Right now, you need to address the homelessness and drug use issue happening openly at the 8/14/2019 1:09 PM parks. I won't go because it looks dangerous and scary.

655 Stop allowing camping in parks! Clean up trash and don’t allow mentally unstable people to 8/14/2019 12:55 PM loiter and to yell obscenities. Fence the parks to close at night like in NYC to prevent camping and undesirable activities at night. Enforce the laws!

656 Host more community events, share information to parents through local schools, 8/14/2019 12:25 PM

657 Parks and community centers exist within a community. Advertising to the people living nearest 8/14/2019 11:59 AM will improve attendance of activities. Also, how people get to community centers is a huge thing. Bicycle facilities should be built like covered outdoor bike parking or even indoor parking would be ideal! Would love to have a protected bike lane leading me to a community center. Take Garfield Community Center for example. Lots of facilities. However, getting there by bike feels dangerous. The arterial streets these centers exist on are dangerous at times. This puts up barriers for people who want to go! We know there is already ample parking at these centers. Let's encourage people to get there easier and safer

658 Please improve parking and ensure that the parks are clean and safe for all residents to use. 8/14/2019 10:42 AM

659 1. Police presence at parks and dog parks to deter car breakins. 2. No tents, needles, meth 8/14/2019 10:33 AM addicts, etc 3. Maintenance. Ball fields have become shabby. Graffiti. Broken fences.

660 By being more open to the idea of alternative sports. 8/14/2019 10:04 AM

661 How about maintaining the park landscapes in community parks. Clearly, some get more 8/14/2019 9:51 AM attention than others across the city. EQUITY IN STANDARDS FOR ALL NEIGHBORHOODS!

662 Keep parks natural and undeveloped. 8/14/2019 9:46 AM

663 Improve maintenance of existing facilities before taking on new capital projects. Communicate 8/14/2019 9:38 AM and enforce existing rules and regulations...those that are unaware (or completely disregard) park rules are ruining the experience for everyone else and damaging this resource.

664 Just keep the parks safe! By putting parks employees in the park! 8/14/2019 9:13 AM

665 Please recognize that the parks are for all people - not just ones with dogs. Too many people 8/14/2019 9:09 AM bringing dogs where it is not appropriate. Educate owners of dogs about when and where their dog is welcome. Provide an attractive alternative for them.

666 Make the 26% of Seattle that has no sidewalks, SAFER for pedestrians. There’s more traffic, 8/14/2019 9:02 AM cutting through neighborhoods, going faster and no traffic enforcement. Pedestrians struggle with the right of way being blocked by parked vehicles, overgrown hedges, rock wall and open ditches. Most of this is in D5, north end. It’s NOT SAFE to walk. Mayor: reorganize on street parking to prioritize pedestrian safety.

667 We just need more of everything since Seattle's population is growing. Demand of resources 8/14/2019 8:57 AM equals everything being more crowded and less access for everyone. Also, need better parking for bicycles at facilities. The bike racks at the Ballard Pool are terrible.

668 Provide opportunities that encourage a fun and safe environment in all neighborhoods for youth 8/14/2019 8:24 AM and teens to hangout. So many recreation centers seem to focus on the younger kids unless the centers are in “high-risk” areas.

669 Make the parks safe! Need more of the park concierge type of program that is in place at 8/14/2019 8:10 AM Ballard Commons.

670 Enforce laws, get criminals/homeless drug addicts off our streets & parks, house the homeless, 8/14/2019 8:09 AM give police back their power & hire more of them!

671 Today people are busy with work, family, social media and stay indoors all day which leads to 8/14/2019 7:44 AM bad health, sedentary lifestyles, depression and zero community connections or interaction. The goal of the community center should combat these negatives by offering a place with adequate facilities and amenities where people can exercise, have fun, and meet the other members of there community to form bonds, friendships, and connections. In my opinion community center hours should be increased by adding Saturday and Sunday (Miller community center) also weight room/fitness rooms should be improved so people don’t have to spend 50 to 100 bucks a month to go to the Ymca and or fitness club because most people won’t do it and will just stay at home unhealthy. A couple suggestions for the community center to realize, most adults in their communities work 9-5 jobs Mon-Fri so hours after 5 Pm, and

223 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

Saturday and Sunday might be there only times that are available to them. So for a large demographic of the community adults 18 and up simply can not go or use the community center due to availability. Furthermore, the community centers must engage in social media to post schedules, program offerings, availability, and other events. This is a must as most people are less likely to call in and would rather find out more information about these things. Cardio and weight rooms will very beneficial and dogs on athletic fields is getting out of control. Thanks for the opportunity to share our opinions, I know this is a long message but it’s everything I could think of from a person who goes regularly to the community center. Big thanks to Seattle Parks and Recreation!

672 Outdoor pools. A big one at Magnuson would be ideal. After school programs for middle and 8/14/2019 7:33 AM high school age special needs teens.

673 Clear homeless encampments/loitering/drug use 8/14/2019 7:17 AM

674 Disappointed that the beloved Grove of trees was removed yrs ago @ Magnuson for a soccer 8/14/2019 7:04 AM field. Leave natural spaces natural.

675 No big idea 8/14/2019 6:04 AM

676 Restore chapel in Discovery Park and rent it out for private affairs to fund park improvements 8/14/2019 5:48 AM and trail maintenance. enlist corporate donors for specific facilities or programs such as a Swanson's Nursery Educational Herb Garden in Discovery Park.

677 regularly patrolled, cleanliness, trash pickup 8/14/2019 5:43 AM

678 Offer more opportunities for employment and volunteers to increase the ways residents can 8/14/2019 4:42 AM engage with and serve their community.

679 more OLAs 8/14/2019 3:50 AM

680 Spend a little time and money making a better survey. Perhaps engage with a local college or 8/14/2019 2:34 AM university to assist in determining what role Parks and Rec. should be, and how to invite the public to safe and accessible parks and community centers.

681 Make an easy avenue to plan and permit neighbor led events and projects. 8/14/2019 12:56 AM

682 Respect and promote diversity, safe and free of drugs/trash environments 8/14/2019 12:00 AM

683 Communication is very poor. Staff at centers don't know much outside their specific role. 8/13/2019 11:35 PM Community centers could be a hang out place. But hours and drop in activities seem limited

684 Labyrinths, statues, memorials, and info-stand all give people something grounding while they 8/13/2019 11:32 PM aim to connect with nature. I'd love to see more of these elements blended in with our beautiful flora and geography in Seattle. Special events for sensory-disabled neighbors and their families. And, while I know there would likely be too much red tape (children getting stung, etc.) that would bar implementation, urban apiaries would be so cool. Kids could come and "meet the bees", adults could learn about planting bee-friendly plants, both in urban and suburban environments, demonstrations for collecting honey could be done... it would BEE amazing.

685 Create more green space in areas experiencing the most growth/change in density. Other 8/13/2019 11:19 PM thought: I would love to see a community kitchen (with garden) with nutrition and culinary coaching and classes appropriate for beginners on up. Maybe it even has a class series that serves the community at completion. Would be great if space can be used for other classes and workshops when not in use.

686 Like the concierges and music at Ballard Commons 8/13/2019 11:14 PM

687 Na 8/13/2019 11:12 PM

688 More activities for babies and toddlers. Family friendly events during the day and weekends 8/13/2019 11:10 PM

689 MORE DOG PARKS!!!!! Room for hand drumming! 8/13/2019 11:05 PM

690 Make them safer. I walk around the park near us and will often see active drug deals/find 8/13/2019 11:02 PM needles/violent characters with visible weapons. I wish that this were an exaggeration, but this is all too common. During the day parents won’t take kids to the playground until there is a critical mass, and often the people running their dogs count in a positive way towards that. Maximize the time/activities of people who are using the park not for drugs and more people will benefit from the parks overall.

224 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

691 First of all, acquire more open space before it is gone. Work to maintain healthy native 8/13/2019 10:55 PM ecosystems with varied flora and fauna. Work with SPD to eliminate camping and other illegal activity in the parks which has greatly diminished our family's use of them. Improve restroom facilities. Restrooms are often an embarrassment--we can do better! Dog parks should have stricter rules and enforcement re: how many dogs one person can bring to the OLAs (look to Mercer Island as a model) and improving some dog owners' irresponsible and dangerous handling (or lack thereof) of their dogs. Parks are absolutely essential to healthy, livable communities and Seattle can do a better job with its burgeoning population. We often go to parks outside of the city limits because we know we will have a better, cleaner, safer experience there. That makes me sad as a 30-year resident of Seattle. Save the golf courses!

692 END privatizing of spaces. Seattle Parks District gives the department plenty of money to 8/13/2019 10:53 PM actually maintain their buildings (Like at Magnuson Park and Evan Pool) but they choose not to. Then they cry poor, try to privatize, and the public looses public benefit. This is unacceptable.

693 Enforce no camping rules. Expand forest steward programs. 8/13/2019 10:36 PM

694 Move the drug addicts and homeless tent campers out of our parks and green spaces. 8/13/2019 10:24 PM

695 Annex Fort Lawton to Discovery Park!!!!! 8/13/2019 10:21 PM

696 More tennis 8/13/2019 10:16 PM

697 Preserve green space. Protect play areas from human waste and needles. Keep toilets stocked 8/13/2019 10:03 PM with TP and soap. Prevent camping in parks.

698 More public amenities and public outreach campaigns to ensure we are not demonizing our 8/13/2019 9:57 PM neighbors experiencing homelessness.

699 My family and I now typically avoid parks due to the amount of homeless and fear of needles 8/13/2019 9:54 PM that my child could step on. Also the amount of mentally unstable homeless walking around in parks scare my child. After an incident 2 months ago, we cannot risk it again.

700 More green spaces, more Roller Derby 8/13/2019 9:52 PM

701 Gentrification has been making Seattle more segregated, and that’s concerning. Maybe having 8/13/2019 9:34 PM more diverse cultural events, some in specific parks and others moving to different parks on a schedule, would foster a broader sense of community beyond individual neighborhoods. Doing it effectively and respectfully would require more detailed planning that’s mindful of culture, race, and class issues.

702 Support, promote, and encourage women’s flat track roller derby. 8/13/2019 9:29 PM

703 I would LOVE that queen anne CC, as well as Magnolia, Ballard, Loyal Heights and Greenlake, 8/13/2019 9:22 PM had more activities for kids 2-5 years old. Music, ballet, pottery, free dance classes on afternoons. So very little options to chose from. Also, evening music classes for adults (piano, guitar)

704 More bathrooms, please! 8/13/2019 9:18 PM

705 Lower the barriers to using the facilities for new and interesting things. 8/13/2019 9:06 PM

706 Add more green space. MUCH MORE. Reintroduce and protect animals into nature. Provide 8/13/2019 9:04 PM good trails. Minimize or eliminate fees.

707 Include more playfulness in park design, add exercise equipment for adults close to playground 8/13/2019 9:01 PM equipment for children in more parks, include comfortable places to sit and read, consider more covered (heated?) areas for rainy day play. Do more work on designing parks where everyone can be active and have fun, not just those who want to compete. Design playgrounds that encourage children of different abilities to play together.

708 I'd love to see a focus on repairing and rejuvenating parks in dense areas. Most of my friends 8/13/2019 8:49 PM don't have private outdoor space and so we rely on the parks to connect with nature or hang out outside. Unfortunately the only large park that I can walk to (Ballard Commons) is uncomfortable or unusable due to the number of unstable or intoxicated people. We end up driving somewhere else, like a hike out in the mountains or even just to a park that is taken care of like Discovery Park or others in wealthy areas.

709 Dog off leash areas that people can walk to!! In Ballard where i live the only one i know of it 8/13/2019 8:44 PM Golden Gardens

225 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

710 Make Roller sports a priority! Inclusive sports like roller derby help women, girls, people in the 8/13/2019 8:39 PM lgbtq and neurodivergent people find a community and sport they can feel accepted in! Roller skating is the only activity my autistic son really loves. Knowing we have spaces and times to skate indoors is so valuable to us. As an autistic adult, the sport of roller derby is the first team sport I’ve ever really enjoyed. Sooo many other people feel this way!

711 Need off leash dog parks that have grass and trees and places big enough to play ball so dog 8/13/2019 8:35 PM haters can be happy too.

712 Women's roller derby facilities - there are multiple leagues in the Seattle area and they're all 8/13/2019 8:29 PM hurting for space. Seattle Derby Brats teaches young women resilience and teamwork in a supportive environment.

713 Use and love the space don’t just ‘preserve ‘ it. Do climate change teaching in parks 8/13/2019 8:26 PM

714 More bathrooms and water fountains, including bottle fillers 8/13/2019 8:26 PM

715 You do a great job with what you have 8/13/2019 8:17 PM

716 Make your gyms more available for use! I've had friends asked to leave the gym after an 8/13/2019 8:17 PM activity because the space was scheduled for a different activity after that. But then no one came to use the gym for that new activity! Why not let people continue to play one sport if no one arrives to participate in a new activity? Why keep the gym empty if people want to use it? I think the centers are community resources and should be used as much as possible.

717 Be more diverse and inclusive in general. Listen to the public. Stop catering to white males. 8/13/2019 8:12 PM

718 Celebrate Seattle's diversity. More cultural events so we can all get a better feel for each others 8/13/2019 8:09 PM communities. Also eliminate any fees. Parks are one of the last good public areas we have. There should be no economic barriers to their use. Sell the golf courses no one uses to off set any costs.

719 Common, well-kept utilities for poorer areas 8/13/2019 8:07 PM

720 We love the parks! 8/13/2019 7:55 PM

721 More sport offerings for adult women, preferably with child care available at the same time. 8/13/2019 7:52 PM

722 Bathrooms, Roller Derby 8/13/2019 7:48 PM

723 Be equitable for all residents of the city. 8/13/2019 7:33 PM

724 Tennis walls, more pools 8/13/2019 7:29 PM

725 Bathrooms in every park open at all hours! 8/13/2019 6:41 PM

726 Easy access to activities. 8/13/2019 6:27 PM

727 ALL residents is the key here. Parks should be cleaner and rules enforced so people feel safe, 8/13/2019 6:16 PM especially when bringing kids. Also the north end (magnolia, ballard) seems to get short shrift on resource distribution- there is limited local programming, facilities are old, and our comm center has limited hours.

728 Provide more bathrooms at parks facilities all over the city for both park users and passers by 8/13/2019 6:05 PM (i.e. bus connections, runners, cyclists). Also, please consider other uses for golf courses that appeal to a more diverse group of people.

729 Provide activities, areas for people to get together to exercise and learn 8/13/2019 6:03 PM

730 Happy Hours 8/13/2019 5:56 PM

731 Stop driving gas guzzling pick up trucks thru the parks for activities that don’t require it. Get rid 8/13/2019 5:52 PM of the loud, annoying, gas guzzling, polluting leaf blowers. We have quiet electric ones now. Switch.

732 More bike infrastructure, including trails, paths, and parking! Encourage more people to bike or 8/13/2019 5:44 PM walk vs drive to our parks Also echoing ideas from other people I know: -consider repurposing some golf course space for more diverse recreation options -construct more off leash areas in dense, transit-friendly neighborhoods

733 I would love to see welcoming paths connecting Magnuson Park to the low-income housing 8/13/2019 5:42 PM

226 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

communities that border it. Families should have safe, easy access into the park.

734 Offer residents more natural spaces where they can reconnect with the natural world and 8/13/2019 5:27 PM escape the stresses of urban life

735 Fill the parks with more native plant species and provide education about said plants and 8/13/2019 5:27 PM relationship to urban wildlife. Focus parks investments in marginalized communities and communities that have been oppressed, historically.

736 Safety. Affordability 8/13/2019 5:18 PM

737 Park maintenance is not good. We have beautiful spaces, and the maintenance is not managed 8/13/2019 5:14 PM well. Beautiful equipment and plenty of staff, but little work.

738 Build more parks and maintain the current facilities much better 8/13/2019 4:36 PM

739 Arrest all homeless people and force them into treatment and housing 8/13/2019 4:36 PM

740 I'll use this box to compliment all the dedicated individuals who carve out quality Park and 8/13/2019 4:22 PM Recreational opportunities here in Seattle. It is the envy of many! P.S. you forgot to place a box for "other" on page 1.

741 Decentralize and let each community center focus on the needs of the community it serves. 8/13/2019 3:54 PM

742 Keep dogs on leashes 8/13/2019 3:49 PM

743 If you did nothing else except provide more clean bathrooms throughout the parks system, I'd 8/13/2019 3:34 PM be happy. My family loves Seattle parks and visit them quite often.

744 The pool to be open. 8/13/2019 3:30 PM

745 Improve the pools. 8/13/2019 3:23 PM

746 Remind people that dogs should be on leashes in parks. 8/13/2019 3:21 PM

747 More dedicated full-time rangers. 8/13/2019 3:11 PM

748 Increased hours and better maintenance of existing facilities. 8/13/2019 3:10 PM

749 Preserve natural areas for all as natural as possible. Do not "activate" them, to use Seattle 8/13/2019 3:06 PM Parks language. Have more education about ways to reduce impacts and enjoy them just be being there.

750 More music, dancing, drumming in parks! Builds community and spreads Joy!. 8/13/2019 2:52 PM

751 more density around more parks 8/13/2019 2:50 PM

752 Open up the gym floors at some of the community centers like Magnuson to more Roller Derby. 8/13/2019 2:48 PM Allow the leagues that use it to paint lines on the floors so they don't have to use tape or cones (which are unsafe).

753 4 new Olympic sized pools in NE NW SE and SW Seattle. 8/13/2019 2:40 PM

754 Just keep doing what you're doing! 8/13/2019 2:39 PM

755 We need more dog parks in the south end! There are virtually none aside from Gennessee. 8/13/2019 2:38 PM There's all kinds of park area around New Holly; surely you could put some dog parks in there somewhere? Please!

756 Stop focusing on what you need to do more of. The world does not need more structures. In 8/13/2019 2:37 PM general I'm very happy with the provided options, but I would rather have fewer, but better maintained amenities.

757 Reduce light pollution, increase wading pool hours and fill them full, keep installing new 8/13/2019 2:35 PM playgrounds and upgrade existing facilities, make it easier to rent/reserve spaces online, expand preschool and after school educational programs.

758 Spend the money required to properly maintain & upgrade/expand facilities. Seattle's 8/13/2019 2:20 PM population is growing & needs adequate facilities.

759 Future planning and more adult activities! The youth have it all and the adults have little to 8/13/2019 2:07 PM choose from.

762 There are great programs but finding information on the City websites can be tough and while 8/13/2019 1:48 PM facebook has some it doesn't have all.

763 More water access (for people and pets) and places to launch your own kayak, swim, and play 8/13/2019 1:46 PM at the beach.

768 Make it feel safe and make it affordable. 8/13/2019 1:33 PM

769 Expand tennis courts 8/13/2019 1:32 PM

770 I absolutely love taking pottery at the community center however, it seems that Seattle caters to 8/13/2019 1:18 PM those who do not work. There is little selection in classes after business hours and now the center closes in the early evenings and weekends which are the only time a working parent can use the open studio. In addition, I would love for my children to be able to participate in activites offered by the center but most classes start before I'm even home from work. Unless i'm willing to pay a nanny to take my kids to tennis or other activities (plus the cost of the activity), then my children and I cannot participate. Additionally, the cost for classes (at least pottery) has significantly increased, while availability of the studio has decreased. I want to build my network in the community and want to spend my money with the community. I would love to see more availability so that working parents and their children are also able to use the community resources.

771 Please add online registration for outdoor pools! PLEASE. I live in the NE end and I cannot 8/13/2019 1:15 PM drive 30 minutes for something that is not garunteed. My kids would be so disappointed and I would be incredibly frustrated to drive all that way/spend all that prep time to not get a spot. There's no reason NOT to have online registration anyway. If access is a concern then just release some tickets online and keep some in person.

772 Increase open gym times for teens 8/13/2019 1:08 PM

773 Organize community events where families can all contribute to help other people in need. 8/13/2019 1:05 PM

774 Maybe rethink the golf courses which are resource intensive. This does not mean turning them 8/13/2019 12:58 PM into low income housing but rather turning some of them into urban forests/food gardens.

775 Put a stop to the rampant crime in Seattle parks. Littering, vagrancy, graffiti, public drinking and 8/13/2019 12:50 PM smoking; drug use and sales; car prowling, etc. Fix that and I'll return to the parks.

780 More bathrooms that are conveniently located throughout the park and near playgrounds. More 8/13/2019 12:09 PM shade and windbreak. More transit and bike lane access to parks.

781 Big idea is old! Summer Youth Employment Program - paid summer internships in the parks for 8/13/2019 12:08 PM youth! Trail crew, wading pool supervision and programming, native habitat restoration. Junior Beach Naturalists and Junior Salmon Beach Naturalists versions, a new educational/income building link between youth and our natural areas.

782 Remove the sign charge on tents/booths! Trying to get people active in parks and have a hard 8/13/2019 12:04 PM time lifting local small businesses and non-profits when it's expensive for them to put up a sign.

790 Program to allow seniors to connect with one another by interest. Maybe scheduled coffee 8/13/2019 11:35 AM hours? For instance, I would like to meet others who are interested in cross country skiing.

791 None 8/13/2019 11:25 AM

792 make it easier to partner with community groups and other providers/partners/vendors to 8/13/2019 11:17 AM enable more/more varied programming and improve facilities

793 I love Seattle Parks and use them a lot. -Keep Discovery Park the way it is! -Cowen/Ravenna 8/13/2019 11:00 AM park is so wonderful. I love the daylighted stream. I love Magnuson's range of services and the recovered wetlands. -I love the park and Marrah (?) farm in South Park and the story of the stream there. -Off leash areas seem fine to me, it's my dog that can be a problem. -Do a massive upgrade of Greenlake community center and pool - I just went to Jose Rizal park for the first time- a beautiful spot that seemed under-utilized. -Since homeless people need a place to stay, and often camp in parks, which neighbors and government doesn't like, I wonder if there is some way for parks, city government, and agencies to join forces to accept and work WITH the issue besides sweeps. (I know it's complicated. You asked for big ideas!) Temporary overnight shelters, with meal, shower, and laundry and social workers at community centers? Or social workers specifically at parks/community centers, like some libraries have?

794 Have the Ballard pool open beyond 1pm on Saturdays. Seriously, why do we even have a pool 8/13/2019 10:55 AM if it’s never open?!??

795 Improve, maintain, revitalize the existing facilities. Expand on programs that are successful. 8/13/2019 10:52 AM

796 More tennis courts in Seattle 8/13/2019 10:38 AM

797 Not exactly an answer to your question but regarding public pools: I would like to see low- 8/13/2019 10:34 AM barrier swim classes for ALL CHILDREN. It's scary to learn how many kids are not learning how to swim. I'd like to see a city-wide initiative 'Every Kid Should Know How to Swim'

798 Host more events in park spaces that bring out local community members, and upgrade 8/13/2019 10:21 AM facilities/play areas that have aged at several popular parks

799 Seattle Parks and Rec was terrific when my kids were 10 and under. They have lost interest at 8/13/2019 10:18 AM age 13 and don't see that there are offerings that apply to them. This is true for many things besides SPR - maybe it is the age..

800 Please see the homelessness problem. Sometimes we don’t feel safe to visit the parks 8/13/2019 10:11 AM

801 Pickleball is a more inclusive activity than tennis. It’s a very connecting type sport, it’s easier for 8/13/2019 2:00 AM different levels to play together, it’s much faster to learn and Also one of the fastest growing sports and seems to have a wider band of ages that play together.

802 A Disc Golf course in Lincoln Park or Puget Ridge in West Seattle. Huge opportunity in Puget 8/12/2019 9:18 PM Ridge for a large area with not large usage.

803 Modernize and improve community centers. 8/12/2019 7:07 PM

804 Enforce park rules for all. Equity in parks-some south end parks are in bad shape compared to 8/12/2019 6:13 PM some north end parks.

805 Support junior and adult roller derby! 8/12/2019 2:47 PM

806 Parks scavenger hunts! Have contests that draw people into parks and community centers, like 8/12/2019 2:36 PM a scavenger hunt/trivia contest throughout the system. Huge prize for winners in different age groups. Get the whole city involved.

229 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

807 Hiking paths, public beaches and more pickleball courts 8/12/2019 11:10 AM

808 I'm finding that the groups that used to be brought together through tennis now have switched 8/12/2019 7:32 AM to Pickleball. Older tennis courts are underused and the too few PB courts are too crowded. Changing times. Changing courts.

809 Paint roller derby track lines on all community center gym floors. Create dedicated roller derby 8/11/2019 11:29 PM space for roller derby community (Magnuson Hangar)

810 Make the websites more current with correct info. They’re done so far ahead of time that things 8/11/2019 8:21 PM change. Even calling a CC and talking to staff doesn’t get you the correct info at times.

811 Would love to see more skating and roller derby facilities 8/11/2019 5:17 PM

812 Bike walking trails. Outdoor pickleball courts with coverings. 8/11/2019 4:44 PM

813 Have all community centers follow the same process for check, sign up and good 8/11/2019 2:49 PM communication with patrons. If the staff is there and facility is ready, why not let patrons use the court/room?

814 Pickleball community in Seattle is huge and getting bigger by the day. We need to have a 8/11/2019 1:48 PM dedicated outdoor Pickleball courts with outdoor lights and chain link fence. Smaller towns around the nation have supported their Pickleball community and built them dedicated Pickleball courts. Seattle is a very big city, not to mention that the sport of Pickleball was invented here, and we do not have our own dedicated Pickleball courts. All around the nation, their respective city council, city parks, have listened to their community’ need and gave them their dedicated Pickleball courts. We need it here in Seattle. We do not have the facilities to accommodate the growing popularity of this sport. This sport is for the whole family, all ages and for everyone.

815 Because land is at such a premium in Seattle, you probably can't do much about the limited 8/11/2019 1:41 PM parking available at many community centers. More parking would certainly improve ability to attend many community center activities.

816 Better accessibility for disabled and homeless people. 8/11/2019 1:15 PM

817 Large outdoor covered Pickleball courts with plenty of free parking. Fastest growing sport in the 8/11/2019 10:26 AM world

818 Covered and permanently installed or lined pickleball courts, very social all inclusive game. We 8/11/2019 9:51 AM often invite people watching to play and they then become regulars and bring more friends!

819 Seattle needs at least one location with multiple (8 to 12) dedicated pickleball courts. Covered 8/11/2019 8:19 AM would be nice.

820 better usage (flexibility) of space through out the community centers. example: a small exercise 8/11/2019 8:13 AM class doesn't need a gym when a smaller space is available.

821 Being more noticeable for being the birthplace of Pickleball! Having more places to play. It's 8/11/2019 8:09 AM such a great sport for all ages and athletic abilities and brings families n friends together on so many levels. And a fairly affordable sport to play. It's gaining more popularity than tennis and should have the same or even more court availability. Beautiful pball courts also esthetically make parks also look really nice!

822 Providing more indoor and outdoor pickleball facilities with 12+ dedicated courts provides all 8/10/2019 11:27 PM members of the community of alll different ages and walks of life the ability to connect socially and get exercise at the same time. It's been an absolute life-changer for me, my wife, son and friends.

823 Bike racks. More variety in class offerings. Open construction-type playground areas... semi 8/10/2019 5:56 PM structured with “logs” and large branches for building.

824 Seattle needs at least one, and preferably several, major dedicated pickleball venues, both 8/10/2019 5:05 PM indoor and outdoor, so that folks can play both during the day and evening, and so the city can host leagues, classes, and tournaments, including major tournaments that will bring hundreds, if not thousands of people to the city. Pickleball is played by folks of all ages from kids to men and women in their 90s and is a tremendous activity that fulfills the mission of SPR. Pickleball participation is exploding across the country, and in Seattle, but it is being inhibited here by the lack of facilities and short hours for the available courts.

230 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

825 More Picnic areas 8/10/2019 4:47 PM

826 There has been such an increase in.pickleball that faculties have become crowded. Would love 8/10/2019 2:50 PM to see additional times added, especially on weekends, as many people work.

827 lots of dedicated, lighted pickleball courts outdoors and dedicated ones indoors. Fastest 8/10/2019 2:47 PM growing sport in the USA. 3 generations. very inexpensive to play.

828 provide a space for Roller Derby, lines for tracks, open skates 8/10/2019 1:47 PM

829 Adding striping to basketball courts/other areas to encourage more roller derby access for 8/10/2019 1:11 PM youth and adults

830 Support the demand of the increased growth of pickleball. More opportunities to play pickleball, 8/10/2019 11:46 AM dedicated courts

831 Make sure there is easy bus service and parking to all community centers. 8/10/2019 11:24 AM

832 I've shared on your fb page but I'd love to see roller derby lines taped or painted down in the 8/10/2019 11:04 AM larger community centers. I'd also love to see gym time for all elementary school ages during the summer.

833 ? 8/10/2019 10:21 AM

834 Dedicated Pickleball facility with lights and at least 12-16 courts. Some covered included. It 8/10/2019 10:08 AM could easily become one of the most attractive venues to host tournaments and gather visitors from all over the world. Not to mention the year round daily play it would offer to the growing community of Pickleball

835 I'd love to see support for local sports clubs, especially as rent and real estate get more and 8/10/2019 9:58 AM more expensive.

836 Help expand roller derby programs to empower girls! Allow Seattle Derby Brats (jointly with Rat 8/10/2019 9:57 AM City and Tilted Thunder) to take over Hangar 2 (at an affordable price) at Magnuson and create a derby arena there!! This program would attract many people and fill a large hole as far as youth sports, and specifically, girl-centered youth sports. Thank you!

837 Offer more indoor and outdoor pickleball options, weekdays during the morning and afternoon 8/10/2019 9:30 AM all year long. I play often and at different locations in the greater Seattle area and its a growing sport. Also when you do offer more locations and times, be sure to offer recreation level and intermediate/advanced level sessions so people will play with others they feel most comfortable with.

838 Support minority and women driven sports, like Roller Derby! 8/10/2019 9:13 AM

839 Listen to the community, especially when seeking opportunities and time for new sports 8/10/2019 9:13 AM representing under served populations.

840 Affordable childcare, low cost activities, nutrition classes, offer more yoga classes 8/10/2019 9:04 AM

841 Have more diverse offerings for activities. Such as roller derby, community theater, music and 8/10/2019 8:58 AM art classes.

842 Please look into building a dedicated Pickleball facility with indoor and outdoor courts. The sport 8/10/2019 8:55 AM builds community and can be played by a wide range of physical abilities.

843 Roller derby as a general sports offering citywide 8/10/2019 8:55 AM

844 Allow for roller derby at your gyms and add the applicable roller derby track lines to gym floors. 8/10/2019 8:46 AM

845 Build an indoor and outdoor pickleball facility which is open to all ages which offers open play 8/10/2019 8:20 AM for different levels, can host national tournaments, viewing area, teaching lessons, offering times for mixed/all ages as well as special age groups (separate kids, families, adults, seniors). Pickleball is a sport which is exponentially growing all over the world and easy to learn. A great activity for people of all ethnicities and cultures to get together, meet new people, have fun AND excercise. Single (and/or shy) people don't have to make arrangements but can just show up, put their paddke in line and will automatically be included in a game. I can't think of an easier way to put yourself out there, get to know people if you are new in the area (or visiting), make friends while exercising and having fun at the same time! PLEASE consider helping to facilitate and grow this amazing sport!

849 Moe pickleball courts and more off leash areas. 8/9/2019 10:21 PM

850 - We need to keep all indoors courts in community centers, add outdoors and indoor courts on 8/9/2019 10:17 PM outdoor surface (similar to Sandpoint tennis center). Would be great if facility is size of Sandpoint center to accommodate tournaments and multi level play. * Play time would be great at any time of the day, sessions that are at least 3 hours long, in the morning, afternoon, evening or all day long to accommodate all busy schedules * weekend play and during school vacations schedule should not be changed * It great game for any age group, seniors love it and it should be available to seniors or should available to children, young adults, and adults too * How many pickleball courts should be available in each outdoor location - at least 4 courts, preferably 8-12. Ideally pickleball complex similar to AmyYee tennis center or Sandpoint * In 12 years from now, we'll have four times as many pickleball players as we currently have Seattle many more courts should be build/converted to accommodate the growth

851 Pickleball 8/9/2019 10:00 PM

852 Maintain all park facilities. Make all parks inclusive and welcome to all. Be transparent about 8/9/2019 9:10 PM what Parks is doing and how money is spent. We need a financial and performance audit of Parks

853 By now you know that Pickleball is THE fastest growing sport for all ages in US and the world..it 8/9/2019 8:42 PM will be a sport in a future Olympics. Seattle needs to cultivate and support this by building covered. lit out door courts to play year round and host international tournaments. Reinstate charging for indoor drop in (extra fees for out of city limits people and use this $ to match with city $$ to build the courts.

854 Continue to keep our parks clean, and green and more community events at local community 8/9/2019 8:39 PM centers

855 I generally find it hard to get information. Like I sign up to get on the email serve and never get 8/9/2019 8:29 PM an email. Then if I sort through the catalog I still can’t do anything online. Also, there are no kids things on weekends.

856 Open more hours, more adult classes/programd 8/9/2019 8:28 PM

857 Some dedicated outdoor pickleball courts. It be great if they were covered. Fastest growing 8/9/2019 7:46 PM sport do we need more courts.

858 More accessibility 8/9/2019 7:31 PM

859 More green spaces in denser areas. Dog park's and maybe over-freeway parks 8/9/2019 5:56 PM

866 More BBQs at parks and picnic tables! 8/9/2019 5:24 PM

867 Seattle and surrounding cities don't realize how big Pickleball has become. The existing 8/9/2019 5:19 PM facilities are very poor and very few. I just moved here from Salt Lake City and they've responded with putting in many new dedicated courts to accommodate the sport's growth. I'd love to see Seattle step up and do the same. New indoor and outdoor facilities would be great to see show up all around King County.

868 Pickleball courts w nets etc 8/9/2019 5:05 PM

869 By creating 12+ dedicated pickleball courts that have lights. With such a fast growing game and 8/9/2019 5:04 PM

232 / 233 SPR Strategic Plan Survey

severely crowded courts (I.e. Greenlake), Seattle is behind the times when it comes to pickleball. More courts= more play. Most communist center pickleball times are during the day and do not benefit those of us who work.

870 More parks! 8/9/2019 4:57 PM

871 Pickleball access. 8/9/2019 4:34 PM

872 Make indoor facilities available to all, morning, afternoon, and evening access. Weekdays and 8/9/2019 4:14 PM weekends for people who work.

873 Open facilities to more sports. Provide centers that give access to wider variety of sports 8/9/2019 4:01 PM

874 Encourage outdoor activities that can include all ages. Pickleball is a very social game and 8/9/2019 3:35 PM everyone can play together. It is good for our health and good for the community.

875 Stop letting developers take up small lots that could be parks, and require them to have 8/9/2019 3:35 PM community space in the first floor.

876 Indoor/outdoor dedicated pickleball facility with lights for year round play please! 8/9/2019 3:32 PM

877 Roller derby is an extremely popular, fast-growing sport throughout the entire world. Seattle's 8/9/2019 3:16 PM premier adult league (Rat City) currently ranks 13th in the world, and the juniors league (Seattle Derby Brats) recently competed for the world championship; these large leagues now have no permanent home due to rising costs of rental space. SPR facilities could provide this space and gain a LOT of rental income if they were willing to paint the lines needed for a roller derby track.

878 Dedicated pickleball courts so we don’t have to go to shoreline or centralia for big tournaments 8/9/2019 3:12 PM

879 seattle needs a location with at least 10 covered outdoor dedicated pickleball courts. 8/9/2019 3:03 PM

882 Longer hours, volunteer support, listen to the "talkers" 8/9/2019 2:48 PM

883 Dedicated PICKLEBALL courts that are accessible to all residents of the city. Sorry to be 8/9/2019 2:20 PM redundant, but hundreds of us are passionate about this sport because it is SO inclusive, fun, active, easy to learn, and addicting in all the good ways!

884 Increase community shared space to compensate for commercial residential development 8/9/2019 2:16 PM encroaching on current open space. Promote local Seattle-area culture and inclusive events and activities (that center underrepresented communities).

885 Make scholarship process easier, less cumbersome. Free youth swim lessons. Welcome and 8/9/2019 2:00 PM support roller derby!

886 Add a community center or meeting space in the Aurora Licton Urban Village / Licton Springs. 8/9/2019 1:40 PM This neighborhood has no indoor meeting space to hold Licton springs community council meetings in!

887 More park areas downtown 8/9/2019 1:37 PM

Q46. Thinking of the recreation programs in Seattle, is there a recreational program that you or your family currently participate in? 19-7225 Seattle Parks and Recreation Survey| 21 Summary of Findings Summary of Findings

 Over three-fourths of Seattle residents rate the quality of life in the city positively. Although still high, this rating has dropped between 2016 and 2019, a period which has also proliferation of issues like housing affordability and increased homelessness in the city.

 A strong majority of residents give the overall parks and recreation system an A or B grade.

 SPR continues to receive high marks for meeting the needs of resident neighborhoods, but has lower marks for the maintenance and cleanliness and safety. There continues to be a knowledge gap around SPR spending. • The presence of homelessness and camping in parks are a clear concern for residents. • Restroom-related issues are the top specific concern mentioned about the maintenance/cleanliness of parks and facilities.

 Just like in 2016, respondents believe improving existing facilities, improving maintenance, and improving safety should be SPR’s top funding priorities.

 Additionally, respondents report using natural area/green space, small neighborhood parks, and walking/jogging trails most frequently and these are the same facilities they indicate SPR should spend more money on. • Seattle residents report they have the same top five park uses (natural areas/green spaces, small neighborhood/community parks, walking/jogging trails, public beaches, and picnic areas/shelters) as in 2016. 19-7225 Seattle Parks and Recreation Survey| 23 Brian Vines [email protected] 206.204.8032
