What's happening?

The City of Olympia is updating the Parks, Arts and Recreation Plan and we need your help!

Every six years, the City of Olympia updates the plan to guide the phased development and enhancement of Olympia’s park system. With your input, we will inventory the current park system, recreation facilities, and art program plans, and chart a course for the next six years.

The 2028-2034 Parks, Arts and Recreation Plan will:

  • assess our parks and facilities to ensure that the department is on track towards meeting community needs;

  • report on improvements to parks, programs and facilities since the publication of the 2022 Plan;

  • connect our work to the goals and policies adopted last year in the City’s comprehensive plan, Olympia 2045;

  • identify and prioritize major maintenance items and community needs for new parks and developments.

How to be involved

Please take the survey below to share your experiences of visiting Olympia parks and participating in Arts and Recreation programs. We want to know what gets you out parks, and what we might change to make your visits more enjoyable. At the end, we will also ask if you'd like to participate in future conversations about OPARD. We hope you'll say yes!

This survey will be open until the end of September. Thank you for your input!
