Parks, Arts & Recreation Plan

2010 Plan Update

The Olympia Parks, Arts & Recreation Department is currently in the process of updating the Parks, Arts & Recreation Plan. Plan Update Schedule

Staff has solicited input on the plan in six different ways. Feedback Summary

  • Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee
  • Olympia Arts Commission
  • Public Input Workshop
  • Public E-mails
  • Staff Input Workshops
  • City Council

Rather than develop a plan that starts with facilities, we have taken a look at using community values as the base for building the updated plan. Values-Based Approach to Programs and Projects 

On December 8, 2009, the Olympia City Council approved a Capital Investment Strategy that will be utilized as the basis for the projects contained in the plan.  A draft plan will be available for public review in March 2010.

For questions or comments related to the plan update, please contact Jonathon Turlove, Associate Planner, 753.8068 or jturlove@ci.olympia.wa.us.
