Parks, Arts, Recreation, Culture, and Conservation (PARCC) Plan - Community Involvement Plan Overview
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
A PARCC Community Engagement Plan was drafted to create robust community involvement to better understand the needs of the community. The community involvement process looks at how staff can inform and engage all people who live, work, and play in Redmond to ensure that the 2023 PARCC Plan reflects the City of Redmond's growing and changing community. Feedback from the community will be used to update the PARCC Plan, which provides a strategic plan for the Parks and Recreation Department and keeps the department in compliance with the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO).
