Comments on Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan Update and Revision - Due Mar 26
2026-03-18 12:00, 2026-03-25 12:00 | Virtual/Online, United States
Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department is proposing an update and revision to several Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Chapters:

Chapter 12.08 Park Rules and Regulations
Chapter 12.12 Foster Golf Links Fees

Tukwila Parks and Recreation is seeking public comment about the proposed changes. Several of these chapters have not been updated in over 10 years, and business practices have evolved in that time, and new recreation trends have emerged that require contemporary guidance.

Learn more about the proposed changes and let us know what you think!
