A MESSAGE FROM THE<br />

SUPERINTENDENT<br />

Dear Neighbor,<br />

Summer is one of the best times for parks and<br />

recreation. Our beaches are dotted with volleyball<br />

players and sand castles, our lawns are full of<br />

picnic blankets and laughing children and our<br />

pools are inundated with swimming kids and<br />

seasoned divers. For those reasons, summer is<br />

also one of our busiest times of the year.<br />

Due to unprecedented high temperatures and<br />

beach attendance in 2015, we’ll be opening two<br />

swimming beaches early this year. Madrona<br />

Beach and East Green Lake Beach will open<br />

on May 28, weather permitting, while all other<br />

beaches will open for the season on June 25.<br />

2016 is also the first year that the department will<br />

start collecting property tax through the Seattle Park<br />

District. Seattle Parks and Recreation will collect $47<br />

million annually to support programs and initiatives.<br />

For 2016, some Park District highlights include:<br />

• Programs for People: More staffing and<br />

services at community centers, teen programs,<br />

lifelong recreation programs and special<br />

populations programs that began in 2015.<br />

• Fix it First: $25 million to reduce our<br />

major maintenance backlog and<br />

restore our urban forests.<br />

• Maintaining Parks and Facilities: Increased park<br />

maintenance and preventative maintenance.<br />

• Building for the Future: Planning and development<br />

for five of the 14 park sites acquired and<br />

“land-banked” with 2008 Levy funds.<br />

We appreciate your support of Seattle Parks and<br />

Recreation throughout the year. I look forward to<br />

seeing you exploring our parks this season and<br />

hope to do some exploring of my own. Follow<br />

me at @SPRSupt on Twitter to watch my summer<br />

unfold and share your adventures with me!<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Jesús Aguirre, Superintendent<br />

ACCESS AND SAFETY POLICY<br />

CODE OF CONDUCT<br />

Any participants conduct that is disruptive or unsafe to participants or staff may result in being sent home early that<br />

day or unable to attend on a permanent basis for the quarter.<br />

This will be decided on a case-by-case basis and is at the discretion of the program leadership staff. Such conduct<br />

includes, but is not limited to: Destruction of property, harming oneself or another, or refusal to follow the minimum<br />

safety requirements to participate in activities. All incidents will be documented and reported to direct caregivers in a<br />

timely manner.<br />

Important Information Regarding Access Service<br />

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that transit agencies like Metro and Sound Transit make their bus and<br />

rail services user-friendly for people with disabilities. The ADA also requires transit systems to have a paratransit service<br />

when someone can’t take the bus or rail because of their disability. In King County, ADA paratransit services are provided<br />

by Metro’s Access Transportation Services.<br />

Subscription Service<br />

This service is great when a participant wants to set<br />

up a ride to the same destination, at the same time,<br />

every week. Please state that you are going to a<br />

Seattle Parks and Recreation Program, and it can be<br />

set up for you immediately.<br />

Door-to-Door<br />

The driver will walk the participant to the doorway of<br />

the destination.<br />

Services Offered by ACCESS<br />

Hand-to-Hand<br />

The driver must deliver the participant to the appropriate<br />

person at the destination. If you use this service, please<br />

have participants locate “Specialized Programs Staff”.<br />

To apply for these services, please contact Access<br />

Customer Service:<br />

206-205-5000 TTY: 206-749-4286<br />

Using Access for Specialized Programs Activities:<br />

We have had increasing numbers of participants coming to and from programs via Access Service. Due to this<br />

increase, issues have been raised that we would like you to be aware of when making arrangements for Access rides.<br />

1. Each program in our brochure has a stated Access “drop-off appointment time” and a “pick-up window”. When you<br />

schedule your rides, please request only these stated times! Please note Access has “drop-off windows” and they<br />

have “drop-off appointment times”. Please use only the “drop-off appointment times” for our programs.<br />

2. Please remember, if a participant arrives too early, the facility may not be open or Specialized Programs staff<br />

may not have arrived yet. If a participant’s pick up window is scheduled late, it will affect other programs that are<br />

following theirs.<br />

3. When you register for programs, please state if the participant is going to be using Access to and/or from program.<br />

4. If there is a consistent problem with early drop-off appointments or late pick-ups, we will call you to discuss the<br />

situation.<br />

5. If you have any questions about our specific Access appointment times or pick-up windows, please call Specialized<br />

Programs at 206-684-4950.<br />

6. If you have problems with the Access Service, please call Access at 206-205-5000 (TTY 206-749-4286) and talk with<br />

their Customer Service staff.<br />
