Olmstead Parks Survey
Seattle Parks has completed a study for restoration projects at 10 of the Olmstead Parks in the city. You can find the page here. In the middle of the page is a link to a survey for park users. The survey is very quick to fill out, though I encourage people to take a couple minutes and use the comment section to detail any concerns or priorities you have for any of the parks on the list. I used the section to discuss the needs of the mobility impaired who are ambulatory.
