20 year Parks planning includes a new aquatic center

Shoreline Pool

Tuesday, November 15: Aquatic/Community Center Feasibility and Planning, 7:00 to 9:00pm, Shoreline City Hall Council Chambers, 17500 Midvale Ave N.

Share your feedback at this Community Workshop where we will be discussing the feasibility of an aquatic/community center for aquatics and recreation programs.

Excerpts from the Minutes for the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Board / Tree Board Regular Meeting of September 22, 2016.

Small, medium and large size facilities were considered by the Aquatics/Community Center Subcommittee who reached consensus that an 80,000 square foot facility (medium) could provide adequate amenities to meet the community’s needs.  

The public workshop on this topic is November 15th where siting areas will be discussed, as will program ideas and preliminary designs. 

The feasibility study and operations and maintenance costs will help the community understand the balance between spaces that can be financially offset and those that can’t, and clarify what is possible for the Shoreline community. 

This is part of the second workshop for the visioning of a parks plan for the next 20 years. It is billed as Securing Our Foundation / Shaping Our Future Workshop.

Through the middle of 2017, the City will be updating Shoreline’s Plan for Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services (PROS Plan) and we need your input. The Plan is a document that creates a 20-year vision and framework providing for Shoreline’s recreation and cultural programs and facilities, and for maintaining and investing in park and open spaces.
