We’re Planning the Future of Redmond’s Parks!

The City of Redmond is updating the Parks, Arts, Recreation, Culture, and Conservation (PARCC) Plan, a public draft is available now for review.  You can leave feedback at LetsConnectRedmond.com/PARCC.

This functional plan guides managing and enhancing our parks, playgrounds, community centers, forests, and trails. It also informs future programs, activities, and events. Your feedback will help make sure parks and recreational programs meet the needs of our growing and diverse community

There are numerous way to provide feedback, including an online questionnaire, community meeting, or you can invite Parks staff to your organization's next meeting. Learn more at LetsConnectRedmond.com/PARCC.

Purpose of the PARCC Plan

There are a number of principal drivers for the development of this plan including:

• Complying with City of Redmond Comprehensive Plan policy CF-1 for functional plan development, including a baseline Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the Parks and Recreation Department;
• Complying with the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) for Parks and Recreation;
• Meeting the pre-requisites for state grant funding offered by the Washington Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) for capital projects; 
• Understanding changing community needs and demands on the Parks & Recreation system; and
• Providing the strategic plan for the Parks and Recreation Department.
