Planning today for the parks and programs of tomorrow.

We're updating our Parks & Recreation master plan - also known as the Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan which is a long-term roadmap that will guide how we invest in parks, trails, open spaces, and recreation services in Burlington over the next 6 to 20 years.  This important project helps ensure our parks system continues to meet the needs of a growing, changing community. Another important feature of an up-to-date PROS Plan is that it ensures our eligibility for a variety of grants offered by Washington State's Recreation and Conservation Office. 

The updated plan will be shaped by data, trends, and, most importantly, community input. Whether you're passionate about sports fields, playgrounds, natural areas, or recreation programs, your voice will help define the future of Burlington's parks system and recreational offerings.

On this page, you’ll find information about key milestones and community engagement opportunities. We invite you to follow along and help us build a shared vision for the next generation of parks and recreation in our municipality.
