State Wants Your Thoughts about Recreation in Washington
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office is hosting a series of online public meetings to get people’s thoughts about the future of outdoor recreation in Washington.
The online forum will gather the public’s input about the demand for outdoor recreation, what people want to see in their parks and on their trails, what prevents people from recreating outdoors and the quality of their experiences when they do.
To participate in the online public meetings, visit www.scorpwa.wordpress.com. You can participate at any time of day. The meeting will start with a series of questions about commercialization of parks, and new questions will be added regularly. The first series of questions asks people what they think about allowing advertising or corporate naming rights in our public parks. It also asks if parks should allow businesses, such as small grocery stores or gift shops. It asks whether new types of recreation, such as zip lines, should be part of our public parks. And finally, it asks whether wireless Internet access should be allowed in public parks.
“These are thought provoking questions that are facing our recreational professionals every day,â€
