  • Parks and Recreation
    PARKS AND RECREATION Parks and Recreation Overview of Facilities and Programs The Department of Parks and Recreation manages 400 parks and open areas in its approximately 6,200 acres of property throughout the City, works with the public to be good stewards of the park system, and provides safe and welcoming opportunities for the public to play, learn, contemplate, and build community. The park system comprises about 10% of the City’s land area; it includes 485 buildings, 224 parks, 185 athletic fields, 122 children's play areas, 24 community centers, 151 outdoor tennis courts, 22 miles of boulevards, an indoor tennis center, two outdoor and eight indoor swimming pools, four golf courses, studios, boat ramps, moorage, fishing piers, trails, camps, viewpoints and open spaces, a rock climbing site, a conservatory, a classical Japanese garden, and a waterfront aquarium. The development of this system is guided by the Seattle Parks & Recreation Plan 2000, the 38 neighborhood plans, the Joint Athletic Facilities Development Program with the Seattle School District, the 1999 Seattle Center and Community Centers Levy, the 2000 Parks Levy, and DPR’s annual update to the Major Maintenance Plan. 2000 Parks Levy In November 2000, Seattle voters approved a $198.2 million levy lid lift for Parks and Recreation. The levy closely follows the plan forged by the Pro Parks 2000 Citizens Planning Committee. The levy is designed to fund more than 100 projects to improve maintenance and enhance programming of existing parks, including the Woodland Park Zoo; acquire, develop and maintain new neighborhood parks, green spaces, playfields, trails and boulevards; and add out-of-school and senior activities.

    Appendix C-1 Selected Network - Affiliate Preemption Issues KFOX-TV, El Paso/Las Cruces, Texas, Fox Affiliate · Until recent years, the Station was able to preempt what it considered “lower standard programming” during sweeps and replace it with quality programming of interest to local viewers. · Station also, until recently, was able to reschedule sports of little interest to the Texas market (such as ice skating and skiing) and run programs to which the station had previous commitments before Fox decided to expand its sports programming. · Station has declined commitments to local college sports because carrying the games would cause the station to exceed its allocated preemptions. · Station has wanted to air programs of local interest, such as specials during prime time on issues such as Y2k border security, but was denied permission for the preemptions by the network. KIRO-TV, Seattle, Washington, CBS Affiliate · Station reports that the network has become much less flexible regarding make-goods for prime time preemptions. Through 2000, when KIRO-TV preempted any network prime program for a Mariners game or a local news special, KIRO had the option of making those preempted network shows good either in late night or sometime the following weekend. For example on Thursday, June 22, 2000, KIRO aired a 7-10 p.m. Mariners game and made good the two preempted episodes of Diagnosis Murder the following Saturday at 3-4 p.m. and Sunday at 4-5 p.m.. As of 2001, the Station no longer has this extended delay option. When network prime time is preempted locally, the network pressures the Station for make goods the same day in late night.

Known as one of the nation’s cultural centers, Seattle has more arts-related businesses and organizations per capita than any other metropolitan area in the United States, according to a recent study by Americans for the Arts. Our city pulses with the creative energies of thousands of artists who call this their home. In this guide, twenty-four painters, sculptors, writers, poets, dancers, photographers, glass artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors and more tell you about their favorite places and experiences.
