Action Alert: KIRKLAND PARKS HAS A NEW SURVEY

KIRKLAND PARKS HAS A NEW SURVEY THAT MAKES IT EASY FOR YOU TO SAY YOU WANT MORE PICKLEBALL COURTS

The Online Community Survey for Kirkland’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan is now open and ready for your thoughts! Access the survey at https://playitforwardsurvey.org/open.

Your survey responses will help guide the 2022 update of Kirkland’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space planning process. The consultants will be using this input as part of the foundation for formulating their recommendations in the final plan.

Please take 10 minutes to participate in this important survey so they can hear more about your needs for Kirkland’s parks and recreation. And please share the survey with your friends. They want to hear from as many Kirkland residents as possible!

If you live, work or play in Kirkland, take the survey.
