ii Executive Summary

Woodinville has grown nearly 14% to 12,790 residents in the six years since the adoption of the 2014 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (PRO Plan) update (Washington State Office of Financial Management). Since 2014 Woodinville has rehabilitated DeYoung Park, completed updates to Wilmot Gateway Park, and resurfaced the sports fields. Woodinville is currently experiencing a gap in recreation programming as the Civic Campus is redeveloped, and the local YMCA is closed. Programming in Woodinville will resume when the YMCA is rehomed to a renovated space in 2021. The planning process took place between May 2019 and November 2020 and involved several stakeholders, public meetings, and public processes: • May through September 2019: Public outreach events, survey, focus groups, and community meetings. • July 2019: Parks and open space inventory assessment completed. • February 2020: Parks and open space feasibility study completed. • June through August 2020: Public meetings with the Public Spaces Commission to discuss the findings of the public outreach, inventory assessment, feasibility study, and goals and policies. • September 2020: Public meetings to review the draft PRO Plan with both the Public Spaces Commission and Planning Commission. • October 2020: Public hearing of the draft PRO Plan at the Planning Commission public meeting. • November 2020: The City Council reviews the draft PRO Plan. In the 2020 PRO Plan, goals and policies have been updated to reduce redundancy and clarify the City’s role in the maintenance and development of small neighborhood parks, recreation programs, and trails. Two goals were added to capture the findings of the public outreach, feasibility study, and level of service analyses. Goal 6 consolidates several policies describing interjurisdictional collaboration, especially with King County, Snohomish County, and Northshore School District. Goal 7 creates a goal and policies for the development and maintenance of a multi-use trail system, which was important across all genders and nearly all age groups in public feedback. Early in the planning process the City hired a planning consultant to produce a thorough inventory of Woodinville parks and open space assets. The inventory assessed each of the City properties, available amenities and their respective condition. Amenities were evaluated based on their level of aesthetic and functional quality. Most of Woodinville parks and open space and their associated amenities are fully functional. Woodin Creek Park was identified as needing rehabilitation and this property had been prioritized for redevelopment in the Capital Improvement Plan. In the summer of 2019, the City implemented a robust public outreach program that included 17 public events, several meetings with community groups, two focus groups, and an online survey. The outreach program attracted more than 1,900 participants and produced insights which both validated data from previous outreach programs, and illuminated community desires for dog parks, trails, water play, and DRAFT more programsDRAFT and amenities for children and teens. As part of the planning process, the Public Spaces Commission discussed parks levels of service and reviewed several common methods of analysis to understand the parks system performance. The Commission elected to use open space distribution, public space investment, the Washington Recreation and Conservation Office Service Summary, a comparison of park systems in similarly- iii sized municipalities in the region, and recreation programs available to analyze the Woodinville parks, recreation, and open space system level of service. According to these metrics, the Woodinville parks, recreation, and open space system performs at a sufficient level, but falls below similarly-sized jurisdictions with regard to recreation programming. While the City does not provide recreational programs, there are numerous organizations in the region provide summer camps, sports programs, and art programs. The 2020 PRO Plan offers both a retrospective of Woodinville parks and recreation, as well as contemporary insight into the needs of Woodinville residents and visitors. Woodinville offers incredible opportunities for outdoor recreation, and residents and visitors cherish these spaces. As Woodinville continues to grow, the 2020 PRO Plan provides a framework for prioritizing improvements in line with community needs. What’s In the Plan The 2019 PRO Plan provides an updated inventory and conditions assessment, demographic conditions, management considerations, programming recommendations, level of service analysis, needs analysis, and capital project phasing. Chapter 1 includes an outline of the planning process and how Woodinville has changed since the last PRO Plan effort (2012-2014), an overview of the PRO system, and the structure and context within which planning takes place. Chapter 2 defines Woodinville through its regional context, history, demographic characteristics, and natural resources. Chapter 3 outlines the City’s Vision and Goals for the parks, recreation, and open space system, and defines policies to guide future planning processes and investments. Chapter 4 discusses findings from the City’s feasibility study, along with methods and strategies for acquisition, construction and maintenance of a range of park types and amenities. Chapter 5 defines key project recommendations, implementation strategies, and provides a list of PRO- related capital improvement projects. Chapter 6 summarizes the public outreach process, methods, and findings. Chapter 7 summarizes the parks, recreation, and open space system classifications, inventory, and describes individual assets, their amenities, and condition. Chapter 8 synthesizes current national, state, and regional trends and perspectives around public parks and recreation systems. The chapter presents several approaches to develop a level of service standard and needs for parks, recreation programs, and open space. Chapter 9 discusses current regional trends and perspectives around trail systems. Purpose of the Plan The 2020 PRODRAFT Plan Update (from hereon, the PRO Plan) is an update to the 2014 PRO Plan. The PRO DRAFT Plan builds upon previous planning and outreach efforts, incorporating feedback from an extensive community outreach program and a feasibility study. The PRO Plan establishes a guide for City officials and staff to provide high-quality public spaces with a variety of amenities, programs, and opportunities for people of different ages and abilities. The PRO Plan outlines a vision for a system of public space iv that includes parks, trails, plazas, and open spaces to promote healthy recreation, the enjoyment of nature, and social events as essential elements of public life in Woodinville. Comprehensive Plans and PRO Plans are required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA), and must be updated every six years to maintain eligibility for Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) funding, which provides grants that support outdoor recreation and conservation projects. The PRO Plan is a component of the Woodinville Comprehensive Plan and will inform the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Benefits of Parks, Recreation and Open Space Parks, trails, and open spaces provide places for children to play, and for people of all ages to enjoy the outdoors. The physiological, social, economic, and ecological benefits have been extensively documented by a wide range of organizations: • In 2017, Eastern Washington University produced a demand assessment for outdoor recreation in Washington State. The report found that respondents were using parks, especially local parks and facilities, very frequently. Walking in a park or trail setting was the most popular activity in the survey across demographics with 75 user days per year – or at least once per week. • The Trust for Public Land, a nationwide parks and open space advocacy, research, and development organization, developed several cost calculators to measure the many ways in which parks, trails, and open space add value to communities (Trust for Public Land, 2009). The value include the hedonic value of property close to a park, park tourist spending, health values of up to $500/per senior resident/year, stormwater management, air pollution control, and the social and financial capital that organizing around parks can create. On Long Island the 60,000 acres of parks, trails, and open space were found to contribute $2.74 billion of direct economic benefit to the communities of Nassau and Suffolk Counties in New York (Trust for Public Land, 2010). In Green Cities: Good Health, University of Washington urban nature researcher, Dr. Kathleen L. Wolf summarizes the value and benefits of nature in cities with regard to public health outcomes: • 65% of U.S. adults are overweight and one in three are obese, which creates risks for chronic diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, Type II diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and resulting in billions of dollars in annual medical costs. Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. The character of a neighborhood has a significant affect on residents’ physical activity. People in communities with abundant green space generally enjoy better health. Trees and lawns contribute to perceptions of more walkable streets, which can promote more physical activity in children and youth. • Moderate physical activity, such as 30 minutes of brisk walking 5 days a week, reduces health risks. 50% of U.S. adults do not meet achieve this goal; 24% are not active at all during their leisure time. People who use parks and open spaces are three times more likely to achieve recommended levels of physical activity than nonusers. People prefer nearby, attractive, and larger parks and open spaces for their activity. In one study elderly people that had nearby parks, DRAFT tree-linedDRAFT streets, and space for taking walks showed higher longevity over a 5-year study period.

ix 1. Introduction

The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan is an update to the 2014 Plan. It is a six-year strategic guide for managing and enhancing park and recreation services in Woodinville, establishing community-driven goals and objectives for providing high quality parks, trails, open spaces, and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors.

DRAFT DRAFT

1-1 The 2020 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan, or PRO Plan, is an update to the 2014 Plan. It is a six-year strategic guide for managing and enhancing park and recreation services in Woodinville, establishing community-driven goals and objectives for providing high quality parks, trails, open spaces, and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. Plan Context The 2020 PRO Plan addresses contemporary community concerns related to parks, trails, recreation facilities, open space, and other types of public space. However, the parks system does not exist in a vacuum, and the following represent an overview of the most prevalent community concerns affecting parks planning in Woodinville: Growth & Development Since the 2014 PRO Plan, Woodinville has experienced population growth to 12,790 in 2020 (Washington Office of Financial Management), and changes to its urban landscape. The Civic Campus and Woodin Creek Village developments are adding more than 900 multi-family units, restaurants, public art, and a trail, to the urban core. The Woodinville Wine Village is currently in the works and will add between 400 and 600 multi-family units, a hotel, theater, restaurants, public art, parking, and cycling facilities to the Hollywood Tourist District. Figure 1 demonstrates the number of new housing, retail, and office opportunities arriving in Woodinville in the next 5 years. Parks, Recreation, and Open Space System Overview Woodinville was incorporated in 1993. Its natural beauty, woodland setting, and distinctive wine culture provide unique opportunities for developing exciting public spaces. The City’s first downtown park was Wilmot Gateway Park, purchased in 1994 and opened to the public in 1999. King County transferred the 4.1-acre Woodin Creek Park property to the City in 1997. In 1999, the City made two large purchases including the Woodinville Sports Field property from the Northshore School District, and the Little Bear Creek property which is currently undeveloped. Over 54 acres of parks, open space, and resource areas were set aside by private developers between 1998 and 2005. The City purchased the 30-acre Wood Trail property from a development company in 2014, and an additional 20 acres in 2016. City Structure & Organization The City of Woodinville does not have specific staff dedicated to parks and recreation, but utilizes the talents of staff in the Executive, Development Services, and Public Works Departments to plan, manage, and maintain parks, trails, and open spaces. City staff are advised by the Public Spaces Commission, a seven-member advisory group that meets once a month to provide guidance and give recommendations on issues relating to parks, recreation, trees, art, and City rights-of-way. The Commission promotes the responsible management of these public resources consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Process The PRO Plan reflects the perspectives and preferences of Woodinville park, trail, and open space users in 2020. The 2019-2020 planning process took place in a few phases: • Public DRAFToutreach: Staff developed a robust public outreach program that captured DRAFT the sentiment of nearly 2,000 Woodinville parks users through engagement at public events, an online survey, and presentations at local groups and clubs. • Feasibility study: The City contracted a planning firm to study the construction, operations, and

1-2 maintenance costs associated with the most popular capital projects noted in the public outreach. • Public discussion of goals & policies: The Public Spaces Commission discussed the 2014 goals and policies and elected to update them to reflect the findings of the public outreach and the feasibility study findings. • PRO Plan draft development: Staff developed a draft of the PRO Plan for Public Spaces Commission review. Draft is revised until the Public Spaces Commission deems it complete, and it is sent to the Planning Commission. • Recommendation to the City Council: The Planning Commission reviews the plan, and it is revised until the Planning Commission deems it complete, and the Planning Commission recommends the plan for adoption by the City Council. • Adoption by the City Council: City Council reviews the plan and adopts it by ordinance as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.

Figure 1. Upcoming development in Woodinville 1-4 2. Woodinville Profile

Woodinville is a bustling city that maintains a growing suite of large and small businesses, a vibrant wine culture, a family-friendly environment, and lush landscape. Its natural resources include lakes, rivers, creeks, and a healthy urban forest. For decades residents have been attracted to the area’s natural beauty and surrounding forest and agricultural landscapes.

DRAFT DRAFT

2-1 Location & Planning Area The City of Woodinville sits at the north end of the Sammamish River Valley, northeast of Seattle and Lake Washington within King County, immediately east of the intersection of State Route 522 and Interstate 405. The corporate City limits are described as the lands bounded on the north by the Snohomish-King County line; on the east by 170th Avenue NE north of NE Woodinville-Duvall Road and the Sammamish River; on the south by NE 145th Street (State Route 202); and on the west by 124th Avenue NE. The City area is about 6.6 square miles. History Coast Salish peoples, primarily the Duwamish, Muckleshoot, and Snohomish tribes, settled in the Sammamish River Valley for at least 13,000 years. Part of the Lushootseed-speaking peoples, the Duwamish and Snohomish are some of the many tribes in the Puget Sound watershed including the Tulalip, Skagit, Sauk-Suiattle, Skykomish, Suquamish, Puyallup, Nisqually, and Sahewamish. Prior to white settlement, the deliberately-managed landscapes produced a wide array of resources. White colonizers arrived in the Sammamish River Valley in 1858 from Seattle, displacing Duwamish, Muckleshoot, and Snohomish people to utilize the flat land and deep soils of the upper valley for agriculture. In 1871, Susan and Ira Woodin arrived from Seattle and staked a claim; the family eventually operated the area’s first post office, school, church, and store from their homestead. During the 1880s and 1890s the Seattle, Lakeshore & Eastern Railroad (SL&E) constructed and operated the first railroad line from Tacoma to Mount Vernon, through the Bothell-Woodinville area. Part of this railroad line became the Burke Gilman and Sammamish River Trails. After railroad lines arrived, the lumber industry and associated mills developed. Agriculture and timber production dominated land uses until the 1950s. As logging activities subsided, dairy and truck-farming businesses sustained the valley towns, and Woodinville was officially incorporated in 1993. Natural Resources Urban Forest The lowland areas of Puget Sound, including Woodinville, were historically Western red cedar and Western hemlock forests. Riparian forests dominate along the Little Bear Creek and Sammamish River corridors. Woodinville’s history as a resource-rich settlement for Coast Salish tribes and later, a logging town, live on in its scenic woodland character. The forest provides habitat for 30 non-game species, 12 game species, 11 waterfowl species, and 93 species of amphibians, reptiles, and birds. Sammamish River The Sammamish River crosses north King County for about 14 miles, draining Lake Sammamish into Lake Washington. The river bisects Woodinville, beginning near the intersection of NE Woodinville Drive and NE 175th Street. The City limit closely follows the river south until it crosses NE 145th Street. Chinook, coho, sockeye, kokanee, steelhead, and coastal cutthroat salmonid species, as well as bull trout, are known to inhabit and feed in the Sammamish river. Little Bear Creek Little Bear Creek originates in Snohomish County, and flows about 8 miles south into the Sammamish River. The drainageDRAFT basin of about 10,000 acres covers mainly rural areas in Snohomish County. DRAFT Lake Leota Lake Leota is a privately-accessible lake located in northeast Woodinville. The lake covers about 10 acres, with a maximum depth of 24 feet, and an average depth of 12 feet. The lake’s watershed covers 2-2 about 480 acres to the north and northwest. Watershed, Hydrology & Critical Areas The Sammamish watershed includes portions of the cities of Sammamish, Everett, Lynnwood, Kenmore, Mill Creek, Bothell, Woodinville, Redmond, Bellevue, and Issaquah. The watershed includes two major rivers including the Cedar and Sammamish, as well as Lake Sammamish, Lake Washington, and Lake Union. Woodinville sits within the drainage basins of North Creek, Little Bear Creek, and Cottage Lake Creek. The City’s many tributaries drain into the Sammamish River. There are approximately 100 acres of wetlands within the city limits of Woodinville, concentrated around Little Bear Creek and the Sammamish River. However, there are also wetlands in Rotary Community Park and adjacent to Woodin Glen Pond.

The Sammamish River Demographics Population & Projections Woodinville was incorporated in 1993 and has experienced growth to approximately 12,790 residents. Woodinville is expected to grow to 17,633 by 2040, and the 2014 King County Buildable Lands Report projects the future land capacity of Woodinville to be 18,316. The 2015 Woodinville Comprehensive DRAFT Plan demonstratesDRAFT ample residential capacity to meet expected future growth.

Employment & Education Approximately 1,200 firms in Woodinville employ about 13,800 people. Retail trade, construction, accommodation and food services, wholesale trade, and manufacturing account for the most productive industries in Woodinville, according to 2017 sales tax revenue. Median household income and income per capita are significantly higher than King County and Washington state. Woodinville residents are generally highly-educated and involved in the work force. 57% of residents over the age of 25 have a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared with 50.3% of King County and 34.5% of Washington State. 71.3% of residents over the age of 16 are involved in the labor force. Woodinville kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high schools are part of the Northshore School District, which encompasses Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville, and portions of unincorporated King and Snohomish Counties. The schools provide special education, dual language, developmental preschool, English language learning, home school support, and highly capable programs to serve a wide range of DRAFT abilities. ThereDRAFT are six public elementary schools, two public middle schools, one public high school, and several private institutions serving preschool through high school.

2-5 Health & Disability Health metrics for Woodinville are generally very good, with nearly all health metrics being more positive than King County and Washington State (King County Public Health, 2016). Woodinville’s high median income, high level of educational achievement, and low rate of uninsured residents contribute to a healthy populace. Only 3.7% of people under 65 do not have health insurance versus 6.2% and 7.1% in King County and Washington State, respectively. The rate of disability for this population is also much lower at 3.6% versus 6.4% and 9% in King County and Washington State, respectively. For people 65 and older the rate of disability in King County is 33% (no data is available for Woodinville).

3-5 4. Projects & Strategies

Based on the feasibility of different projects, the City is able to strategically plan and prioritize community needs within the capital improvement process over time.

DRAFT DRAFT

4-1 Accomplishments Since 2014 DeYoung Park underwent a public participation process and rehabilitation throughout 2017 and 2018. The park is now a centerpiece of Woodinville’s downtown core, hosting the Farmer’s Market, Celebrate Woodinville events, and providing a welcoming place for people to relax throughout the day. Updates have also been made in Wilmot Gateway Park including the addition of a water bottle filling station, new playground equipment, and rehabilitation of the trellis. Woodinville will experience a brief lull in recreation programming as the Civic Campus redevelopment takes place. Programming in Woodinville will resume when the YMCA is rehomed to its updated space in 2021. The City Sports Fields were resurfaced in the summer of 2020. Feasibility Study The City contracted the planning firm Otak (the consultant) to conduct a feasibility analysis between December 2019 and February 2020. The feasibility analysis expands on the comprehensive public engagement process to further inform the goals, policies, and implementation strategies of the PRO Plan. The scope of the feasibility analysis included a site analysis of City properties to determine their suitability for amenities including trails, off-leash dog areas, spray play areas, and sport courts. The report also includes generalized land costs associated with potential acquisitions. The consultant developed sets of criteria for each potential amenity and analyzed current City properties for suitability. A summary of this analysis below:

Table 3. City property suitability for recreational amenities Woodinville Woodinville Heights Park Greenbrier Open Space Greenbrier Park Quail Ridge Park Rotary Stone Hill Meadows Park Ridge Tanglin Park Trails Wood Property Creek Woodin Park Multi-use trails Dog Park Spray Play Sport Courts Multipurpose Fields Key: Suitable for Development Somewhat Suitable for Development

According to the consultant’s analysis, many existing City properties are not suitable for many of the amenities requested by parks users. The feasibility report is structured as follows: • Introduction: Describes the intent and purpose of the study. • Analysis of current properties: Existing City-owned property are analyzedDRAFT for their suitability to different facility types. DRAFT • Site amenities: A description and generic illustration of the recommended facility type, including the site selection criteria, which existing properties are suitable for the facility type, expected maintenance costs, parking requirements, and stormwater considerations.

4-2 • Land acquisition cost estimates: Land costs based on assessments of fair market value for appropriately sized parcels. The analysis does not reflect the cost of any specific parcel, but rather an estimate for any acquisition. • Sources: A list of sources cited in the research and development of the report. • Appendices: Planning level cost estimates, cost estimates for site furnishings, and cost information for stormwater facilities. For simplicity within this report, planning-level cost estimates will be included within the discussion of each facility as a total construction cost or cost per unit of measurement. The complete itemized estimates can be viewed in the feasibility report (Appendix A). The consultant’s analysis included existing City-owned properties that are undeveloped or underutilized. The suitability of existing assets for proposed facilities was examined based on the following attributes, and how the constraints of each existing asset could accommodate the respective facilities: • Area; • Length, as the longest measurement of the parcel; • The presence of critical areas; • The presence of significant brush or weeds; • Accessibility; and • Topography.

Assets like the City Sports Fields, Wilmot Gateway Park, and DeYoung Park which have recently received investments were not included in the analysis. The analysis found that many of the desired facilities and amenities require a larger amount of space for either the amenity or the required parking than is currently available. The consultant’s report suggests property acquisition would be required to develop a full range of the proposed facilities. Site Amenities: Trails, Dog Park, Spray Play, Sport Courts, and Sports Fields Trails Multi-use trails were a very popular request at every public event throughout the summer 2019 outreach program. Based on the site selection criteria for 8-foot-wide paved or gravel trails, Greenbrier Open Space and the Wood Trails property are suitable for multi-use trail development. Trails require five to seven parking spaces per mile depending on the length of the trail system. Maintenance costs are variable depending on the trail type and length but typically cost about $500 to $1,000 per trail mile per year in addition to any emergency tree removal, regrading, or resurfacing. Paved trails require more intensive stormwater control systems versus soft surface trails. Maintenance required is variable based on trail design, but averages about 28.3 hours per trail mile per year. The infiltration trenches required for stormwater control and conveyance cost between $15 and $30 per DRAFT linear foot of trail.DRAFT

Surface parking stormwater management (bioretention and $69,000 oil control)

Stormwater trench ($30/linear foot) $9,200 Total $1,536,181

Dog Park The consultant recommends that dog parks should be located within one-quarter to one-half mile of mile of dense dwelling units such as condominiums, apartment buildings, townhouses, etc. Two acres is a desirable size based on best practices. Based on the site selection criteria, Woodin Creek Park is a potential site for a small dog park (1 acre or less), but critical areas constrain significant portions of the site. Siting a dog park in Woodin Creek Park would likely require the relocation of the existing tennis and basketball courts. Dog park design typically requires 0.85 to 0.90 parking space per accommodated dog. The proposed Woodin Creek Park dog park would require 40 parking spaces, which could be partially accommodated by on-site and street parking. Maintenance costs for dog parks are high relative to other parks and open space amenities, requiring an estimated 10 hours per acre per week. Regular inspection and maintenance must be conducted on a near- daily basis. The size, materials, and design can significantly affect the maintenance cost and labor effort. Annual costs to maintain the proposed dog park would be $8,500. The engineered wood fiber surfacing would require a full replacement every five years, estimated at $78,000. Stormwater management on a dog park is complex and can cost between $21,000 and $40,000 per acre.

Surface parking stormwater management (bioretention and $69,000 oil control) DRAFT DRAFT Stormwater management $21,000 Total $3,520,759

4-4 Spray Play Spray play areas are both active and passive facilities that can include a wide variety of interactive features. For the purposes of the study, the consultant conceived of a 4,000 square foot spray play area with a surrounding lawn, landscaping, and restroom building for changing and housing the mechanical room. Based on the site selection criteria Woodin Creek Park could support a spray play area, but it is further from the downtown core than is ideal for this type of facility. There are no specific standards for spray play area parking, as this facility type is often incorporated into a larger community park with other features or programs. Designs similar to what is recommended for Woodinville utilize a wide range of parking, from street parking (no dedicated spaces) to 45-space parking lots, with the average number of spaces provided at community parks being 27. Maintenance for spray play areas can range widely from $50,000 to $100,000 annually and average about five hours per week. Recirculating systems are less expensive to operate because water is filtered and reused. There are typically no stormwater considerations necessary for spray play areas as water treatment and filtration is necessary to operate the feature.

Table 7. Spray Play Construction Cost Summary Total construction cost (4,000 square feet) $2,944,841 27 parking spaces ($13,580/space) $366,660

Surface parking stormwater management (bioretention and $69,000 oil control)

Total $3,380,501

Sport Courts The consultant found no suitable properties for additional sport courts in Woodinville. Land acquisition is recommended to construct pickleball, basketball, and tennis courts or turf fields. Parking requirements for sport courts are typically two stalls per court. Parking requirements for large multi-use fields must have the potential for large tournaments on peak days, or 20 to 100 parking spaces. Maintenance requires cleaning debris and standing water off the court and replacing nets and fencing as necessary. With regular use, the court surface must be replaced every four to eight years at a cost of $4,500 to $8,500 per court depending on the surface type and condition.

All projects must comply with stormwater requirements, and the requirements are highly variable depending on several factors including, but not limited to, the project size, proximity to critical areas and water bodies, soil types, groundwater level, and other site features. Appendix C describes several typical stormwater management facilities typical for the different facilities examined in the report but is not inclusive of all possible systems or outcomes. The costs provided are representative to understand the potential magnitude of a stormwater management system. Land Acquisition Estimates The consultant created a set of land costs based on fair market values, current property listings of similar size, permitted land uses, and the location parameters of the proposed park and open space amenities. A ten percent transaction cost is included in the total acquisition cost. Transaction costs include closing costs, fees, commission, and other similar costs associated with purchasing a property but not included in the cost of the land itself.

Site Furnishings Cost Estimates The consultant assembled estimates for site furnishings including outdoor fitness equipment, nature play equipment, picnic tables, bike racks, and shade structures. The table below presents the range of costs associated with each furnishing type. See Appendix A for more information.

Table 16. Outdoor Fitness Equipment Cost Estimates Outdoor Fitness Equipment, Individual Stations $2,500-$8,200 Outdoor Fitness Equipment Package $11,000-$70,000 Outdoor Fitness Equipment, Multi-Use Structure $10,500-$200,000

Table 18. Typical Furnishings Cost Estimates Picnic Table $1,000-$5,000 Bike Racks $200-$1,000 Shade Structures $2,400-$18,300

Key Recommendations The feasibility study found Greenbrier Open Space, Rotary Park, and the Wood Trails property are appropriate for developing multi-use trails. Woodin Creek Park could accommodate a spray play area or a dog park but its size, proximity to the Sammamish River, and distance from residential density, make DRAFT it less than ideal.DRAFT The consultant recommended acquiring additional public space if the City wants to invest in a dog park, spray play area, sports courts, or another multipurpose field.

4-7 5. Public Outreach

The PRO Plan process centered on engaging the public in a range of methods, and meeting them outside City Hall. Over 1,900 park users and community members participated in the outreach program: • Online survey with 555 responses & 852 comments • 8 pop-up and community events • 4 back-to-school fairs • 6 meetings with community groups • 2 focus groups

DRAFT DRAFT

5-1 PRO Plan Outreach Background 1998-2012 Public outreach related to parks, recreation, and open space planning from 1998, 2000, 2005, and 2012 was reviewed to understand community needs and demands over time. The graphic below summarizes the most persistent points of feedback throughout this 14-year period of public outreach.

Table 19. Public Outreach Synthesis Overall 1998 2000 2004 2012 Priority Facilities Arts & Culture Center Low Cycling Trails High Dog Park Low Indoor Gym Low Neighborhood Parks Moderate Non-Motorized Boat Rental Moderate Playgrounds Moderate Recreation Center Low Sport Courts Low Sports Fields Moderate Swimming Facility High Teen Center High Walking Trails High Programs After-School Programs High Art Programs Low Concerts Moderate Recreational Sports Leagues Moderate Special Events High Teen Programs High Teen Shuttle Low Youth Sports Leagues High

1998 PRO Plan Public Opinion Surveys The City’s first PRO Plan in 1998 distributed a survey using the City newsletter, a mail-back survey to teenagers, and a telephone survey of a sample of registered voter households. This outreach effort found residents were interested in a teen center, off-road walking and cycling trails, as well as youth recreational and after-school programs, teen events, and a teen activity shuttle. 2000 Parks & Recreation Mailed Questionnaire Survey A 26-question mail-back survey was sent to a random set of Woodinville households, and found overwhelmingDRAFT support for a range of investments. Most respondents supported bond funding for a DRAFT recreation center with an indoor gym and acquiring property for parks and trails. The community was also interested in athletic fields, a regional swimming facility, tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts, and a facility for arts and cultural activities. Respondents also expressed a need for sports leagues and after-school programs. 5-2 2004 Community Opinion Survey A statistically valid telephone survey was conducted to understand community opinion around a range of public interest topics. Not all the questions were related to the parks system, but relevant responses were reported in the 2005 PRO Plan. Residents were interested in recreation services for youth and teens, special events like concerts and Fourth of July celebrations, recreational sports leagues for youth and adults, a swimming pool, improved parking at Wilmot Gateway Park, more neighborhood parks, and sport courts. 2012 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Survey The City developed a 10-question online survey to capture park user feedback, as well conducting an open house early in the planning process. The survey found that park users were interested in cultural events, trails, a swimming pool, dog parks, kayaking and canoeing, playgrounds, and educational programming. 2019 Outreach Events City staff was present at a number of community and school events, and held three pop-up events in parks throughout the summer: • Pop-Up at Wilmot Gateway Park, Saturday July 13th, 2019 • Celebrate Woodinville Summer Concert, Wednesday July 17th, 2019 • Pop-Up at Rotary Community Park, Saturday August 3nd, 2019 • Pop-Up on Sammamish River Trail (near Northshore Athletic Fields), Saturday August 10th, 2019 • Northshore School District Back to School Fair, Friday August 16th, 2019 • Celebrate Woodinville Festival, Saturday August 17th, 2019 • Woodinville High School Falcon Days, Wednesday and Thursday August 21st & 22nd, 2019 • Leota Middle School Back to School Fair, Monday August 26th, 2019 • Timbercrest Middle School Back to School Fair, Monday August 26th, 2019 • Farmer’s Market, Saturday August 31st, 2019 • Northshore Senior Center Health Fair, Friday September 27th, 2019 Outreach events are an opportunity for public officials, staff, and consultants to interact directly with park users and to get more candid feedback on parks issues. The outreach program capitalized on existing community events such as the summer festival, concerts, and back-to-school fairs. The City also held ‘pop-up’ events in parks, which were not tied to an existing event and captured a more casual and DRAFT regular user. DRAFT

5-3 Figure 3. Public engagement at the 2019 Celebrate Woodinville Festival Event Activities Over 1,400 people participated in event activities which included the following: • Mapping Connections: At the July 13th and August 10th pop-ups, park users were asked to use bright string to mark local and regional connections that they use or would like to use more safely on large local and regional maps. Park and trail users are very interested in cycling connections between Woodinville, Kirkland, and Redmond, as well as safer connections north and south within Woodinville. • Visual Preference: Two sets of imagery depicting ideas for ‘Aesthetics & Improvements’ and ‘Programming’ were displayed at pop-up and community events. Participants were given three stickers, and asked to place the stickers on their favorite images. Participants in the visual preference exercise prefer imagery with water play and water parks, dog parks, and soft-surface trails. Movie nights and colorful temporary or pop-up events are overwhelmingly popular with younger participants. • Vote on Amenities & Programs: Participants at seven different pop-up, community, and school events were given a choice of ten different amenities including Ball Fields & Sport Courts, Cultural Events, Interpretive Signage, Multi-Use Trails, Off-Leash Dog Areas, Picnic Areas, Playgrounds, Public Art, Water Play, and Wine Events. Each participant was given three paper tickets with which to vote on their favorite amenities & programs, or suggest their own. Results of the outreach program are discussed in detail in Chapter 8. Stakeholder Discussions Interviews with external stakeholders were conducted to more broadly assess opportunities for partnerships andDRAFT coordination. Stakeholders were identified by the City based on their past coordination DRAFT with the City, and involvement in Woodinville’s public spaces. City staff also presented and received feedback at events supported by local organizations to focus on specific types of stakeholders:

5-4 • The Creekside Retirement Community, June 28, 2019 • Fairwinds Brittany Park Retirement Community, July 11, 2019 • Woodinville Wine Country Wine Walks, Thursday July 11 and July 25, 2019 • Woodinville Rotary Club Breakfast, Tuesday July 23, 2019 • Woodinville Garden Club, Wednesday September 4, 2019 • Woodinville Chamber of Commerce Luncheon, Thursday September 19, 2019

Online Survey City staff developed a 26-question survey with the online platform Survey Monkey and distributed the survey in English and Spanish to local and regional stakeholders. The survey was open between July 20th and September 30th 2019. A link to the survey was posted on the project’s official City web page as well as printed on informational postcards and mailed to 6,123 households and businesses within Woodinville city limits. Several stakeholders shared the survey with their listservs and members. The survey was completed by 555 respondents with a 93% completion rate. Focus Groups Two focus groups were held on the evening of September 12, 2019. Attendance was sparse, with one attendee at the first (sports & recreation), and two at the second (heritage & inclusion). A follow-up survey was sent to all 19 invitees on September 17, 2019, which received four responses. Public Meetings The Public Spaces and Planning Commissions provided feedback on the PRO Plan during multiple public meetings throughout the outreach and planning process. Commissioners were actively involved in outreach and engagement at public events, received periodic updates to PRO Plan progress, and offered guidance and recommendations to develop a meaningful and inclusive plan. Other Outreach & Promotions Project Website A unique webpage was created for the PRO Plan on the City’s website and included a description of the project, its purpose, events schedule, the Public Participation Plan, and a link to the Community Survey. It provided a platform where participants, residents, and staff could stay up-to-date about the PRO Plan’s progress. City Newsletters The Woodinville Wire, a monthly digital newsletter, featured articles in August and September highlighting PRO Plan progress. The newsletter also informed the public about the online survey, upcoming meetings, events, and opportunities to offer comment. Social Media The City posted an overview of the project along with links to the project website and the Community Survey on the Woodinville Neighbors Facebook group, and utilized Twitter to post PRO Plan meeting DRAFT and event updates.DRAFT

5-6 6. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Inventory

This chapter provides an overview of the parks and open spaces in and near Woodinville, and describes the classification system of property and amenity types.

DRAFT DRAFT

6-1 System Classifications The classification of public space is important to developing service standards for the City. Classifications are used as a general guideline for the intended use and size of public space, and to develop a cost-effective and functional parks and open space system. Woodinville’s parks are characterized with the following criteria: Neighborhood Park Parks under 1 acre and up to 5 acres are classified as neighborhood parks and serve as the recreational 1 1 and social focus of a neighborhood, with a service area of /4 to /2-mile. Typical amenities include play equipment, seating, picnic areas, and lawn space for impromptu play. There are 1.96 acres of neighborhood parks in Woodinville. Community Park Community parks are larger and serve a broader purpose than neighborhood parks. This type of park meets the recreation needs of several neighborhoods and preserves significant open space. The service radius for community parks is about a mile but can be larger. Community parks are typically 5 to 30 acres and include parking, field lighting, and restrooms. There are 26.76 acres of community parks in Woodinville. Open Space Open space describes natural resource areas set aside for the preservation of urban trees and habitat, while allowing public access and limited public use. There are 12.32 acres of open space in Woodinville. Restricted Use Area Restricted use areas are defined as unsafe or otherwise restricted from public access. The presence of utility areas, stream corridors, wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, woodland areas, and other unique ecological features and environments are grounds for the restriction of public access. There are 102.75 acres of restricted use area in Woodinville. Sports Fields The City Sports Field is currently the only sports field in Woodinville, and encompasses 6.56 acres. Trails Linear trails provide active recreation opportunities across the region. There are currently 1.7 miles of trails in Woodinville. Chapter 9 provides more detailed information about the trail system and needs in Woodinville. Existing Inventory Woodinville’s park and open space system comprises eight parks, one open space, and one sports facility, totaling about 47.6 acres of public recreation area. The City also owns a number of undeveloped and restricted use areas totaling about 121.9 acres, and almost two miles of trails. These public spaces have been acquired through a number of means including land transfers and dedications from developers, andDRAFT the next section highlights each park property and its assets.

6-14 7. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Analysis

The public outreach process illuminated the expectations and needs of Woodinville park users. This chapter provides a detailed analysis of the Woodinville parks system performance.

DRAFT DRAFT

7-1 Current Trends & Perspectives National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) is a leading non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of public parks, recreation, and conservation. The organization publishes annual reports detailing agency performance across the nation and provides interactive tools to help parks agencies of all sizes understand contemporary issues and better serve their users. NRPA predicted in 2019 that some notable trends will be: • The cooperation of public health advocates and healthcare institutions to develop partnerships for preventative programs like walking groups and low-impact outdoor activities • The focus on public health also extends to the consolidation of a number of public functions such as libraries and social services into central facilities in parks • Many organizations are updating their signage, policies, and procedures to remove gender-specific language • Indoor recreation such as e-sports, trampoline centers, climbing gyms, and indoor turf facilities are also on the rise The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) develops reports and analyses concerning public lands in Washington State. The RCO’s 2018-2022 Recreation and Conservation Plan for Washington State emphasizes the need to utilize appropriate technologies to enhance public safety, resource monitoring, maintain current inventories and identifies five priorities to meet the needs of residents: • Sustain and grow the legacy of parks, trails, and conservation lands • Improve the equity of parks, trails, and conservation lands • Meet the needs of youth • Plan for culturally relevant parks and trails to meet changing demographics • Assert recreation and conservation as a vital public service Woodinville Perspectives The outreach program engaged nearly 2,000 participants and it is clear from the outreach feedback the Woodinville’s community cares deeply about its youth and active recreation. The most prominent findings: • Connectivity: There is strong interest in safe walking and biking opportunities to local and regional destinations with sidewalks, trails, and signage to direct users. • Accessibility: Numerous respondents voiced concerns about trail safety, sidewalks, safe surfaces for people with mobility aids, and places to rest while walking on trails and around town. • Programming: People of all ages and abilities want the opportunity to play and learn in Woodinville through events, classes, camps, and cultural programs.

Outreach Analysis & Community Needs Who Are They?DRAFT DRAFT Demographic information was not collected during outreach events, but the nature of some events can give clues as to the interests and age of the respondents. Participants at the Timbercrest Middle School, Woodinville High School, and Northshore School District Back-To-School Fairs were primarily youth, 7-2 or the parents of adolescent and teenage children. Participants at the Northshore Senior Center Health Fair were residents of the Woodinville area over the age of 65. Participants at the Celebrate Woodinville concert and festival were parents and their young children. There were 555 responses to the online survey, with a large majority (70%) of survey respondents identifying as women, and nearly half the respondents between 35-50 years. Respondents between 24-34 years and 51-64 years represented 20% and 18%, respectively. The majority (81%) of survey respondents live in Woodinville, 6% responded they do not live in Woodinville but work in town. People in Woodinville love their parks and trails; 59% of online survey respondents visit parks at least once per week. 38% of respondents visit parks several times per week. More frequent parks users, those who self-report visiting once a week, several times a week, or several times a month are: • More likely to take and finish the online survey • Most likely between the ages of 25 and 50 • Most likely to have children at home • More likely to have lived in Woodinville less than 2 years • More likely to live in the Town Center Less frequent park users, those who self-report visiting never or only once or twice in the spring and summer are: • More likely to be older than 50 • Most likely to not have children at home • More likely to have lived in Woodinville more than 10 years • More likely to live outside city limits

There were 555 responses to the online survey, with a large majority (70%) of survey respondents DRAFT identifying as DRAFTwomen, and nearly half the respondents are between 35-50 years. Other significant age groups are 24-34 years and 51-64 years representing 20% and 18%, respectively. The majority (81%) of survey respondents live in Woodinville, with another 6% responding they do not live in Woodinville but work in town.

7-3 Figure 9. Survey respondent age The majority of the online survey respondents visit Woodinville parks at least once a week, which makes sense -- people interested and invested in park development are likely candidates to complete a survey regarding parks. User frequency is utilized throughout the analysis to better understand community needs and preferences. More frequent users provide great data on what is successful or lacking in parks because this user type is in the parks frequently, and likely year-round. The information provided by less frequent users provides insight into why some users do not visit as often. People in Woodinville love their parks and trails; 59% of online survey respondents visit parks at least once per week. 38% of respondents visit parks several times per week. More frequent parks users, those who self-report visiting once a week, several times a week, or several times a month are: • More likely to take and finish the online survey • Most likely between the ages of 25 and 50 • Most likely to have children at home • More likely to have lived in Woodinville less than 2 years • More likely to live in the Town Center Less frequent park users, those who self-report visiting never or only once or twice in the spring and summer are: • More likely to be older than 50 • Most likely to not have children at home • More likely to have lived in Woodinville more than 10 years • More likely to live outside city limits The greatest number of responses came from the Celebrate Woodinville festival however, the combined volume of the Timbercrest Middle School and Woodinville High School events makes youth preferences a very important part of this dataset. Demographic information was not collected during outreach events, but the nature DRAFTof some events can give clues as to the interests and age of the respondents. The majority DRAFT of the 609 participants at the Timbercrest Middle School and Woodinville High School Back-To- School Fairs were youth, or the parents of adolescent and teenage children. The 72 participants from the Northshore Senior Center Health Fair were residents of the Woodinville area over the age of 65. Many

7-4 of the 675 participants from the Celebrate Woodinville concert and festival are young children and their parents.

Figure 10. Ticket votes from 2019 community events How Do They Use Parks? Based on responses from the school fairs, Woodinville youth are extremely interested in off-leash dog parks and sports fields; trails, public art, and water play were also important for this group. Seniors were most interested in trails, cultural events, and public art; picnics, playgrounds, and wine events tied for fourth-place. People use parks for a variety of reasons and activities, those who self-report as visiting once a week, several times a week, or several times a month are: • More likely to live in the Town Center, Wedge, West Wellington, and Upper West Ridge neighborhoods. • Most likely to be playing at playgrounds, walking or running for exercise, or walking a dog. • More likely to think that the variety of amenities available in Woodinville parks ‘needs improvement’. Users who self-report as visiting never or only once or twice in the spring and summer are: • More likely to live in Tourist District, Lower West Ridge, and East Wellington neighborhoods. • Most likely to be walking or running or exercise or attending events like concerts and festivals.

7-6 Does Woodinville Value Parks? Event participants were generally positive and enthusiastic about the potential for improving the Woodinville parks system. The volume of participation from many types of park users was unprecedented by past outreach efforts. It has been an encouraging reminder that active outreach through a variety of methods can yield very positive results. 93% of online survey respondents describe parks as essential or important to the quality of life in Woodinville. When asked about the single most important thing to address in Woodinville’s park and trail system, online survey respondents chose connectivity – more trails and better connections to existing parks, trails, and destinations as the most important priority.

Figure 15. “Do you think the City of Woodinville makes parks, recreation, and open spaces a DRAFT priority?” DRAFT Respondents were asked to drag a slider between 0 (completely privately managed) and 100 (completely publicly managed) to indicate how they think the Woodinville parks system should be managed. The average for this data is 71, meaning respondents are interested in a more publicly-managed system.

7-7 Are Parks Meeting Their Needs? More frequent parks users, those who self-report visiting once a week, several times a week, or several times a month are: • More likely to think the availability of amenities, maintenance and upkeep, overall quality, and accessibility of Woodinville parks needs improvement • Most likely to think that the City does not make parks, recreation, and open spaces a priority • More likely to say the city has not enough parks, trails, picnic areas or recreation programs • Most likely to think nature play, playgrounds, and youth programs are most important to have in Woodinville • Most likely to rate parks as essential to the quality of life in Woodinville • Most likely to see the quantity of parks as the most pressing issue in Woodinville Less frequent park users, those who self-report never or only once or twice in the spring and summer are: • More likely to think the City does make parks, recreation, and open spaces a priority • More likely to say the city has the right amount of parks, trails, sports fields, and recreation programs • Most likely to think sports fields, fitness stations, music events, picnic areas, programs for seniors, public art, and restrooms are most important to have in Woodinville • Most likely to see connectivity as the most important issue in the Woodinville parks system

Figure 16. Respondent perception of park and amenity quantity in Woodinville Users who self-reported spending more time in parks had a less positive outlook on the City’s commitment to parks. The Public Spaces Commission discussed that the reason for this outcome may be becauseDRAFT frequent park users likely use parks in other jurisdictions; thus, their perception of DRAFT Woodinville’s parks and amenities is less positive, as compared to their favorite destinations elsewhere. Using visual prompts, online survey respondents were asked to identify which type of park space best

7-8 meets their needs. Most respondents are interested in community-scale parks and multi-use trail systems, a finding that is in line with feedback received at community events.

Figure 17. User group preference for different park types At the community outreach events, off-leash dog parks were extremely popular with all groups except seniors, and became the most popular amenity overall. Woodinville park users really seem to value amenities and programs for being active outdoors such as multi-use trails, playgrounds, and ball fields were popular across all user types to different degrees. Water play and public also ranked fairly highly with respondents overall, with the exception of seniors.

7-10 Figure 22. Respondent preference for the most important issue to address in parks Levels of Service Level of service (LOS) is a type of metric that can be derived from several methodologies, and measures how parks, recreation, and open space amenities meet user needs. In 2014, the Woodinville parks LOS used a population-based approach (acres of parkland per 1,000 residents). The metric was compared against standards set by NRPA. Based on 2014 NRPA standards, Woodinville would need to acquire 146 acres of parkland and 6.57 miles of trails to meet the planned LOS by 2024. The 2014 PRO Plan concluded that Woodinville’s proximity to parks and open space resources managed by other jurisdictions made the park and open space deficit negligible. Table 21 below demonstrates the population-based LOS calculations used in the 2014 PRO Plan.

Total Parks 104.17 9 acres/1,000 pop. 146 acres The population-based approach has been a primary means of LOS assessment over the last few decades. Despite its ubiquity, the population-based approach is based on benchmarks set by NRPA. In recent years NRPA and RCO recognized that parks jurisdictions and their needs can differ greatly; therefore assessments based on benchmarks, which may simply be unattainable, are not helpful. In response, DRAFT these organizationsDRAFT developed resources and self-assessments to better serve the diverse needs of parks jurisdictions nationwide. 2020 Level of Service Summary

7-11 The 2020 PRO Plan evaluates LOS using five different methods. Overall, the Woodinville parks system demonstrates a comparable level of service to similarly-sized jurisdictions but falls below with regard to programming and non-motorized access to parks. Table 22 summarizes the results of each assessment type. A complete set of tables detailing the level of service determinations for each of these methods can be found in Appendix E.

Level of Service Methodologies Investment-Based Approaches A jurisdiction’s investment in parks, trails, and open spaces can be an indicator of LOS. In 2018 Woodinville spent $78.35 per capita on parks, recreation, and open spaces. Woodinville’s parks spending per capita is below similarly-sized jurisdictions. However, the City’s relationship of revenue to operating expenditures is healthy at about 23.3%. Annual spending on parks-related facilities fluctuates based on several factors. 2017 and 2018 were more intense years for Woodinville with the renovation and improvement of three major parks (DeYoung, Wilmot Gateway, and Woodinville Heights).

Washington State Resource & Conservation Office Level of Service Rating The RCO provides a self-assessment for parks agency LOS across a range of criteria relating to statewide goals. Using the 2014 Woodinville PRO Plan goals, and feedback from the 2019 public outreach program to complete the assessment, Woodinville is meeting these criteria at a C rating (3.4 on a 5-point scale). The assessment indicates there are a variety of recreational opportunities available, but users are not satisfied with the system’s amenities and accessibility. See Appendix E for more detail. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Distribution Parks in Woodinville are somewhat concentrated in the western and downtown areas of the City. Figure 25 provides an analysis of pedestrian accessibility to parks throughout Woodinville as demonstrated by quarter-mile (5-minute) and half-mile (10-minute) walksheds. The analysis utilizes park and open space entry point(s) to develop a citywide perspective of park and open space accessibility. There is a deficit of park space within a 10-minute walk of the Wellington, Reinwood-Leota, West Ridge, and Tourist District neighborhoods. Survey respondents living in these neighborhoods self-reported less park use than respondents living in the Town Center. Figure 26 provides an analysis of living unit density in Woodinville. Areas with larger parcels and fewer units per parcel appear in dark blue, and smaller parcels with more units per parcel appear in bright green. The analysis illustrates that residents in certain low-density neighborhoods may report less park use because of their proximity to parks, their larger private open spaces, or a combination of both factors. The complete spatial analysis used to create this composite map is available in Appendix D. Local Parks Agency Comparisons It is helpful to understand the facilities, amenities, and programs available in similarly-sized jurisdictions. Table 24 compares jurisdictions throughout East King County and illustrates a wide range of levels of service. Like Woodinville, Lake Forest Park, and Newcastle operate parks systems through a cooperation of the public works and planning departments. Snoqualmie has a much more robust parks system, supported by a parks department of 8, offering several types of active recreation, facilities, and DRAFT programming. DRAFT

Local Resources Woodinville’s location in the scenic Sammamish Valley gives residents access to beautiful parks and open spaces resources in nearby communities. The Sammamish River Trail is especially beloved – as well as its regional connections to the Burke-Gilman, Interurban, Tolt Pipeline, and Centennial Trails. Woodinville benefits from its location near numerous parks and trails operated by other jurisdictions, particularly King County: • Bassett Pond Natural Area • Cold Creek Natural Area • Cottage Lake Park • Gold Creek County Park • Northshore Athletic Fields • Northshore Senior Center • Northshore YMCA • Paradise Valley Conservation Area • Sammamish River Trail DRAFT DRAFT

7-16 Programming National & Regional Trends NRPA’s 2019 Agency Performance Review summarizes data from parks and recreation agencies. The data indicates that programming is a key method of engagement driving park and recreation facility use; and program registration fees are a large source of non-tax revenues for some agencies. Recreation programs and programming-related responsibilities managed by jurisdictions like Woodinville are typically sports and fitness programs, summer camps, and programs for seniors. Cultural programs, and programs for youth, teens, and people with disabilities appear to be less prevalent. Woodinville does not have a dedicated parks and recreation department and cannot manage recreation programs like a larger organization. See Appendix E for more detail.

Community Organizations Woodinville benefits from several community-based organizations producing events, sports and recreation programs, and contributing to the community’s cultural landscape: • The Northshore Senior Center in Bothell provides day programs, social services, recreation and cultural programs, and meals to the communities of Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville, Mill Creek and Kenmore. • The Woodinville Chamber of Commerce produces several community events throughout the year including the Celebrate Woodinville community events series which includes season festivals and concerts. • Woodinville Wine Country promotes wine tourism in Woodinville with wine events and wine tastings. • The Sammamish Valley Alliance (SVA) is a local organization that promotes small agriculture in the Sammamish Valley. The SVA produces several educational events – many held at 21 Acres – as well as Spring and Autumn festivals. • 21 Acres is a working farm, marketplace, and local food and sustainable living center that offers events celebrating the Sammamish Valley’s agricultural history, as well classes and workshops focused on healthy living, and cooking with local produce. • The Civic Center Campus is currently under construction and will provide a YMCA facility when it is completed in 2021. While the YMCA is not a public institution, it is a nonprofit organization offering membership and fee-based sports and recreation programs, fitness facilities, day care, and youth camps. • A number of youth sports organizations operate in the Northshore area DRAFT offeringDRAFT baseball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, aquatics, and football.

7-17 8. Trails Analysis

Trails are important to Woodinville residents and park users, and are a topic that came up repeatedly in public outreach and discussions. This chapter outlines recommendations for developing a more robust trail system.

DRAFT DRAFT

8-1 Current Trends & Perspectives The RCO state plan for 2018-2022 identifies four recommendations related to improving the equity of parks, trails, and conservation lands: • Building trails for underserved populations • Connecting more people to trails • Providing trails where people like to use them • Addressing safety concerns These goals create a framework for setting local and regional trail goals. The plan calls for linking trails with transportation, creating regional partnerships, maintaining an inventory of mapped trails, and evaluating the state’s recreational trail designation program established in 1973. Woodinville Perspectives Active recreation, especially trails, are important to people in Woodinville. There has been a persistent demand for more walking and biking trails in outreach since 1998 (see Table 19, page 5-2). The 2019 outreach had a consistent desire for more trails for walking and cycling across all ages.

Figure 26. User group preference for different park types DRAFT DRAFT

Demand for walking and biking trails has been persistent in outreach since 1998 (Table 19, page 5-2). Woodinville owns and maintains four trails totaling 1.7 miles. The trail systems of jurisdictions similar to Woodinville are compared below:

Table 26. Trail metrics Lake Forest Woodinville Park Snoqualmie Newcastle Trail Miles 1.66 0.5 35 7 2018 Population 12,815 13,569 13,752 11,823 Density (residents/mile2) 2,276 3,991 1,916 2,651

Woodinville, Lake Forest Park, and Newcastle all operate parks systems without dedicated parks departments, and trails mileage is more variable across these jurisdictions than the parks and open space metrics described in Table 24. Fortunately, Woodinville is very accessible to the Sammamish River and Burke Gilman Trails which connect walkers and cyclists to parks and destinations throughout King County. The feasibility study found that Rotary Park, the Greenbrier Open Space, and the Wood Trails property are all suitable for trails development. Future Projects In Woodinville, the Eastrail Corridor will connect the east side of Lake Washington from the Snohomish County line to Renton with 42 miles of multi-use trails. The project is currently in progress with rails being removed and segments open with interim gravel until construction of the final paved trail can be DRAFT completed. DRAFT

A-13 Appendix D: Parks Condition Assessment

Inventory Otak, Inc. completed an assessment between July and September 2019, and collected data from Woodinville’s publicly owned parks, trails, and open spaces to evaluate current datasets and inventory, survey plats for unmapped private open spaces, and add new data, categories and attributes, including amenity condition, to existing datasets. Otak utilized the following criteria to assess the City’s parks, trails, and open spaces: GOOD condition: Offers full functionality and does not need repairs. GOOD facilities have playable sports surfaces and equipment, working fixtures, and fully intact safety features (railings, fences, etc.). GOOD facilities may have minor cosmetic defects. GOOD facilities encourage use of the park. FAIR condition: Largely functional but need minor or moderate repairs. FAIR facilities have play surfaces, equipment, fixtures, and safety features that are operational and allow play, but have deficiencies or time periods where they are unusable. FAIR facilities remain important amenities for the neighborhood but may slightly discourage use of the park by residents. POOR condition: Largely or completely unusable. They need major repairs to be functional. POOR facilities are park features that have deteriorated to the point where they are barely usable. Fields are too uneven for ball games, safety features are irreparably broken, buildings need structural retrofitting, etc. POOR facilities discourage residents from using the park. Park attributes noted:

• Architectural features • Football field • Soccer field (trellises, gazebos, etc.) • Garden/Lawn • Spray park • Baseball field • Graffiti wall • Tennis court • Basketball court • Horseshoe pit • Track • BBQ grill • Interpretive signage • Trails • Benches/Swings • Lawn bowling • Trash/recycling bins • Boat launch • Nature play • View point • Boardwalk • Parking, including # • Volleyball court • Bocce ball court of handicap stalls • Water feature • Community • Picnic shelter Gathering Area • Picnic table • Dog off-leash area • Play area • Dog waste bags/disposal • Play Equipment • DrinkingDRAFT fountain • Public restroom DRAFT • Fitness equipment • Public art • Fire pit • Skate park
