Mercer Island residents can weigh in on the Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan update by participating in a 16-question online survey through Sept. 17.

The plan, which the city began updating in early 2020 and was suspended for a year due to the pandemic, will help inform parks and recreation priorities for the next six to 10 years.

In one question, residents are asked what they think are the most needed improvements to the current city parks system, including trails and open space areas. The survey is available at, https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DYH9NZG

This is the second PROS Plan survey that the city has conducted with the first one offered in early 2020.

The goal of the second survey is to validate data from the first one, gathering input on capital project priorities, further refining recreation program community needs, and exploring revenue and funding alternatives, according to the city’s PROS Plan Let’s Talk page.

Responses will be published on the Let’s Talk page in October and results will be compiled and included in the final draft plan presented to the Parks & Recreation Commission and the city council.
