Share your input and ideas!

The City of Kenmore is collecting feedback to update Kenmore's Park, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Plan. The purpose of the PROS Plan is to provide guidance on the City's management and development of park properties and recreation programs for the next 6-20 years. The City is requesting your input to ensure that the needs of the Kenmore community are met. This survey will help us understand how you currently use the City's park system, and help us plan for the future of the Kenmore's parks and recreation programs.  

Please contact Todd Hall, Principal Planner at the Kenmore Community Development Department at 425-398-8900 or thall@kenmorewa.gov you have any questions about this survey or the PROS planning process.
