At King County Parks we pride ourselves in finding strategic partners who will work with us to increase community & park amenities without increasing ongoing operations costs.

Since 2002 Parks has been empowered to engage in ‘good-government’ initiatives and embrace non-traditional ways of doing business. This recent transformation from a centrally funded service provider to an entrepreneurial, performance-driven organization ensures that parks serve to enhance communities & our regional quality of life, even during tight fiscal times.

“King County's 25,000-acre park system is one of the largest in the country. Injecting a measure of efficiency and self-reliance into the system was no small challenge. But it is happening. The value of this kind of creativity cannot be overstated. Parks are not a mandated county service, yet no community would be complete without one. King County's meaningful development of its parks sustains funding and keeps them a treasured public amenity.” -Seattle Times editorial page, June 16, 2006
