Seattle Parks and Recreation Annual Report

Seattle Parks and Recreation means many things to many people. Spanning over 6,000 acres, Seattle Parks and Recreation provides vital open space to a growing city. Within these wonderful natural areas are a wide range of facilities including community centers, pools, athletic fields, gyms, museums, and an aquarium. Throughout the system, an array of programs is offered to children, teens, adults, seniors and people with disabilities. All of this is accomplished by our diverse staff, partner organizations and volunteers. Our 2007 annual report weaves together the many aspects of Seattle Parks and Recreation to tell the full story.
