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.

Local Places to Visit Around Seattle
Eastside Literacy Talk Time Spring 2006 Talk Time Topic: Local Places to Visit around Seattle Let’s get started… Take a few minutes to think of a local place that you visited. • Where did you go, and what did you do? • Who went with you? (friends, family, etc.) • How much did it cost? • Would you recommend this place to others? Why or why not? Background: Many people go to coffee shops (Starbucks is a favorite destination) or shopping when they have cabin fever. At other times, they want a longer trip or a change of scenery so they take a day trip. Families, couples, and people of all ages enjoy seeing or doing something new. The Seattle area offers many different types of things to do and see close to home. It is possible to take a ferry, drive to the mountains, and visit the Pike Place Market all in the same day! Spend 5 minutes asking each other the following questions. Interview 2-3 people about any local trips that they have taken. Work with your Talk Time leader to complete the grid below. Share your results with the group. Name Where did you go? What did you see? Would you go again? Discussion Questions: What places would you like to visit? How can you find out more about the cost, the transportation and any other questions you might have? What activities do you enjoy doing? Do you prefer indoor or outdoor activities? What did you do in your country? Did you take local trips? Where did you go? Did you take trips in Winter? Spring? Summer? Fall? Why? Some outings are “kid friendly” and others are not.

Activities and Attractions
ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONS Imagine yourself sitting in a park on the Seattle waterfront, a double-tall latte and an almond croissant close at hand. The snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains are shimmering on the far side of Puget Sound, and the ferryboats are coming and going across Elliott Bay. It's a summer day, and the sun is shining. It just doesn't get much better than this unless, of course, you swap the latte for a microbrew and catch a 9:30pm summer sunset. No wonder people love this town so much! Seattle is a city of views, and the must-see panorama is, of course, the view from the top of the Space Needle. With the 21st century in full swing, this image of the future looks decidedly mid-20th-century modern but still it's hard to resist an expensive elevator ride in any city. You can even take a monorail straight out of The Jetson’s to get there (and pass right through the Frank Gehry-designed Experience Music Project en route). EMP, as the Experience Music Project has come to be known, is one of Seattle's latest architectural oddities. Its swooping, multicolored, metal-skinned bulk rises at the foot of the Space Needle, proof that real 21st-century architecture looks nothing like the vision of the future people dreamed of when the Space Needle was built for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. EMP is the brainchild of Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, who built this rock 'n' roll cathedral to house his vast collection of Northwest rock memorabilia.
