Skagit County Parks and Recreation releases public survey to gather input for six-year Comprehensive Plan

SKAGIT COUNTY - The Skagit County Parks and Recreation (SCPR) Department is administering a public survey to gather information about the public's recreational interests and shape its six-year Comprehensive Plan. The public is encouraged to fill out the survey and help SCPR create a plan that will prioritize the way parks and recreation is provided throughout the county over the next six years. The survey is available here.

The focus of the Comprehensive Plan Update is to plan and provide for needed park facilities for Skagit County's growing population. The new plan will be the guiding document for County-affiliated programs and parks, including open space and paths. The plan is intended to lay the groundwork for the future of the

County park systems. It explores potential park development and improvements, prioritizes strategies to meet and achieve a level of service that fits the needs of county residents, and describes existing and potential funding sources needed to meet the desired level of service and maintain both park facilities and recreation service.

The survey is also available at www.skagitcounty.net/parks. For more information, contact Skagit County Parks and Recreation Director Brian Adams at briana@co.skagit.wa.us or at (360) 336-9415.
