Provide Facilities that Meet Active Recreation Needs

Findings

Washington's open space system already contains more than 1,000 fields, playgrounds, and courts that are operated by three agencies. However, with an existing shortage of open space designated for active recreation, a growing interest in new types of recreation, and population projected to reach nearly 700,000 by 2025, the demand for active recreation and playing fields will remain strong.

Issue

Washington needs to increase the capacity and amount of outdoor recreational facilities, especially regulation-sized playing fields.

Planning Concepts

Proposed Actions

Maximize the efficiency of existing active outdoor recreational facilities by making them better, safer, and more accessible. Identify opportunities for developing one or more active outdoor recreation complexes to serve the entire District.
