The City of Burien has successfully updated its Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan for 2024-2030, a process that involved extensive community engagement through the Shape Your City initiative. This plan was adopted by the Burien City Council on March 18, 2024, marking a significant milestone in local governance. The PROS Plan serves a dual purpose: it guides the management and development of park properties while also ensuring compliance with the Growth Management Act planning requirements. Through this plan, Burien is poised to access state and federal funding, enhancing its recreational facilities for residents. Community input was pivotal, with residents participating in surveys and meetings to voice their priorities and preferences.

This collaborative approach not only fosters a sense of ownership among residents but also ensures that the plan reflects the community's needs. For those interested in staying informed and involved, further details can be accessed on the Burien Community Hub. The successful adoption of this plan underscores the importance of community engagement in local governance and planning.
