APPROVAL OF SUMMARY
Council members Kochmar and Burbidge moved to accept the March meeting minutes as written. Motion
passed.
BUSINESS ITEMS
2006 Justice Assistance Grant Application
Ms. Parker stated that the Public Safety Department applied for a grant for $29,114 from the 2006 Byrne Justice
Assistant Allocations. I f they are awarded the grant they will outfit 46 front line patrol fleet vehicles with the
docking stations for laptop computers. This will give the officers more mobility, they will have instant access to
data, and it is ergonomically better for the police officers. This will allow them to take the computer out of the car,
and take a report inside the victim's house or business. Council member Kochnulr moved to approve and accept
the 2006 Justice Assistance Grant Application for $29,114 to finance improved technology (laptop computer
docking stations) for the police department, and forward to full Council for consideration at its April 18, 2006
meeting. Council member Burbidge seconded. Motion passed.
Community Center Update
Ms. Sanders presented the Community Center Construction report for March 2006. The gymnasium is the area with
most progress to date. The piping is complete under the pool. Ms. Sanders is working with the contractor to
schedule a date for the Parks Commission and Council to tour the site. We are starting to receive larger monthly
invoices, and are starting to catch up on the billings. The contingency balance is 6.4% on hard costs, and 4.8% on
soft costs. They have now started work on the mezzanine, and the track is in place. Council member Kochmar asked
if staff was going to be giving a power point presentation at the Council meeting. Ms. Hanson answered that the
direction staff was given was to make monthly presentations at the Council Committee.
Accept IACILWCF Grant for West Hvlebos Boardwalk
Ms. Sanders stated that last year staff applied for a grant to replace the boardwalk. She has received notice that the
project has been selected for funding. The amount of the grant is $250,000. The grant will go towards the
replacement of the Boardwalk at the West Hylebos Wetlands Park. The total amount needed for the project is 1.3
million dollars. Council member Kochmar moved to authorize an L WCF Project Agreement with the lAC for
funding assistance from the Land and Water Conservation Fund in the amount of $250,000 for design and
construction of the West Hylebos Wetlands Boardwalk, and place this item before the full Council on April
18,2006. Council member Burbidge seconded. Motion passed. Ms. Hanson stated that staff would be applying
again this year for another grant for this project.

Park Plan Update
Ms. Hanson reported that the City is required to update the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan every six years.
The department has been working very hard to make the deadline. A rigorous public input process was done. There
were two open houses, an on-line survey and three stakeholder meetings. They are now starting to work with the
Parks Commission. The Park Plan will come back to the PRPS Committee on May 8. This is the foundation of the
document that will be presented to the Committee. A draft will be given to Council. A one-month extension has
been requested. Ms. Sanders reviewed the input that was received through the public process. Through the various
forms of public input, five core values were identified. These Core Values were based on themes or messages that
were submitted over and over again. Ms. Sanders reviewed the core values with the PRPS Committee. The Core
Values are: 1. Improve Existing Facilities & Provide Multiple Functions in Parks. 2. Develop a walking community
with an integrated City-wide system of sidewalks and trails. 3. Retain and improve natural open spaces. 4. Create
community gathering places and destinations. 5. Provide a balance of services for a diverse population. Ms.
Hanson stated that there is a major shift from where we were six years ago. Improving existing facilities has become
a priority over purchasing new facilities. Trails and places for community gathering are two other increasing trends.
Ms. Sanders stated that there is also an increasing demand for off leash dog parks. French Lake Park has been very
popular. Ms. Sanders stated that they are currently looking at other locations for an off leash dog park. Council
member Kochmar stated that French Lake Park is now a safer park because it's so busy.
PENDING ITEMS
Council member Burbidge stated there has been a request to discuss 'the pandemic flu. Ms. Hanson stated that Cary
Roe said he does not have information or jurisdiction. This is a health department issue. Council member Burbidge
requested that staff check with the Fire Department, since they had an article about it in their newsletter.

SUMMARY: Update of Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan-2006
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department is in the process of updating the City's
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, which is a component of the City of Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan. This is done every six years, in compliance with the Washington State Growth
Management Act (GMA). The purpose of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is to express
the community's values and vision in these areas and to periodically assess implementation progress,
identify needs for the future, and develop plans and funding strategies for future programs and
improvements.
The City last updated the Parks. Recreation andOpen Space Comprehensive Plan 2000 in September
2000. Adoption of the updated plan is scheduled for June of this year, to be eligible for grant funding
from the Washington Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (lAC).
Planning Process
The planning process has included an extensive assessment of the City's existing parks and open
spaces, and its recreation programs. It has also included efforts to determine the needs and desires of
the community using a series of different approaches. These have included public opinion surveys,
open house meetings, meetings with a stakeholders group, and briefings and working sessions with
the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Parks, Recreation and Public Safety Council
Committee.
Accomplishments Since 2000 Plan
Substantial achievements have been made since the last plan was prepared. This includes acquisition
of more than 200 acres of land, including West Hylebos Wetlands State Park, the site for Madrona
Park (the former Armstrong property), and several parcels in the Hylebos Basin. Purchase of Camp
Kilworth, an existing Boy Scout Camp with Puget Sound waterfront, is in process. Facility
improvements include development of Madrona Park, BP A trail extensions, new playground
equipment and improvements in several parks, phase one of site restoration at Dumas Bay Centre, and
installation of an artificial turf soccer field at Steel Lake Park. The largest project undertaken during
this period is the planning and design of the new Federal Way Community Center. Construction on
this project is expected to be completed in late 2006.
Community Direction
A set of "Core Values" emerged from a consensus of ideas and opinions expressed through the public
outreach efforts. These core values have been used to guide the concepts and proposals developed
throughout the planning process. These are outlined briefly below:
Core Value #1: Improve Existing Facilities and Provide Multiple Functions in Parks
Public input indicated that there is strong community desire to focus on improving the resources
the City currently owns, rather than acquiring additional property. With future improvements the
City is encouraged to provide a variety of uses and facilities at each park site to appeal to a wider
range of user groups, and to serve different ages within a family.
Core Value #2: Develop a Walking and Biking Community through an Integrated Trail and
Sidewalk Network
According to survey results, walking, hiking, and walking dogs are some of the activities people
participate in most frequently. Having an improved system of loop trails, or an interconnected
network of sidewalks and trails that connect to parks, schools and other destinations, will provide
additional recreation and nonmotorized transportation options for Federal Way residents.
~-L
- - --- ---~
Core Value #3: Retain and Improve Our Open Spaces
The City of Federal Way owns more than 500 acres ofland categorized as open space. These
open spaces provide a valuable amenity and resource in the community. A balance between
protecting and improving the ecological health of these areas and providing opportunities for the
community to enjoy and use them is essential. A particular challenge facing the City and the
region is the rapid spread of invasive plant species, such as ivy, blackberry and Scot's broom.
Core Value #4: Create Community Gathering Places and Destinations
One of the consistent messages heard from the public is that the City lacks places to gather, meet
with friends and neighbors, and socialize. Creating community gathering places is espccially
important as the City Center develops, and as parks are designcd (or redesigned) and developed.
Core Value #5: Provide a Balance of Services for a Diverse Population
The City should offer a diversity of facilities, services and programs to accommodate a variety of
age groups, interests, income levels, and abilities. Public input encouraged special consideration
be given to youth, seniors, and persons with special needs. With an increasingly diverse
population, the City should continue to be pro-active in assessing recreational trends and needs.
Plan Components
The Core Values listed above were uscd in developing the heart of the Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Plan, especially Chaptcrs 4-7:
. Plan objectives and public process-Chapter I
. Population and Land Characteristics-Chapter 2
. Description of existing parks and open spaces-Chapter 3
. Assessment of recreation programs and recreation trends-Chapter 4
. Needs assessment and level of service standards-Chapter 5
. Goals and Policies-Chapter 6
. An implementation plan-Chapter 7
. Individual park and athlctic facility assessments-Appendices
Changes in this Plan
This updated plan differs from the 2000 Plan in several ways. The 2006 Plan has:
· Less emphasis on acquiring neighborhood park land, and an increased emphasis on improving
existing parks
. Less emphasis on quantity of park land (and a numeric level of service standard), and more
emphasis on quality and type of development
. A detailed assessment of each individual park and open space site
. A focus on meeting a variety of social and recreational needs, including for community
gathering spaces, and for a diverse community
Capital Improvement Plan and Maintenance Requirements
The Capital Improvemcnt Plan (CIP) has a large project list, ranging from small improvements at
neighborhood parks to large scale redevelopment at Lakota and Sacajawea Parks. Funding for
improvements within a six-year time frame still needs to be identified. This will be a challenge,
especially if utility taxes dedicated to the Parks crp is reduced. Maintenance of the City's parks and
open spaces is also becoming increasingly difficult with the current staffing levels, especially since
the acreage has increased by 29% since 2000, while staff numbers have actually decreased slightly.
A-5
------
Action
Planning and adoption of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is moving quickly due to the
need to be eligible for grant funding this year. This plan was reviewed April 25th with the Parks and
Recreation Commission, who made some suggestions for the final implementation chapter. They will
make a final review and recommendation on May 4th. The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold
a Public Hearing on the Plan on May 3rd.
It is desirable for the PRPS Committee to take action at the May 8th meeting in order to stay on
schedule for adoption in June. The adoption schedule includes:
May 3-Public Hearing by Planning Commission
May 4-Final review and recommendation by Parks and Recreation Commission
May 8-Council Committee: Parks, Recreation and Public Safety
June 6--City Council: 1 st Reading of Ordinance
June 20-City Council: 2nd Reading of Ordinance and Adoption
June 22-Transmittal to Washington Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation(LAC)

Chapter 1: Introduction
1. Plan Purpose
This Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan expresses the
community's values and vision for the City's parks, recreation and
open space system for the near and long term. It has been six
years since the 2000 Comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Plan was adopted. It is important for the City of Federal Way
to periodically assess implementation progress, determine how
community needs are being met, how well the current system works,
identify areas that can be improved or enhanced, and respond to
emerging needs as the community grows and changes. This ensures
thai the City is being responsive to the current needs of the community
and pro-active in planning for the needs of future generations.
Since 2000, there have been a number of changes in the
community-residential and employment growth, an increasingly
diverse population, new recreation facilities such as the Community
Center (opening in 2007), land acquisitions, and recreation program
additions and changes. Parks and open space become increasingly
important as the City builds out, recreation trends evolve, and the
community becomes more dense in response to growth management
planning. Having an up-to-date plan positions the City to implement
the vision through phases and to respond to opportunities as they
anse.
2. Plan Objectives
The objectives of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan are:
· To provide community defined direction for the future of
the City's parks and open spaces as well as recreation
programming
· To maintain funding eligibility
· To ensure consistency with state and local requirements;
· To respond to opportunities as they arise
· To provide guidance for effective management of the City's
parks, recreation, and open spaces
Community Defined Direction
One of the primary objectives of this plan update was to gather
community input and direction to establish priorities for future of the
PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 1
~.\ S
----------
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
City's parks and open space system. Input given by the community
at various points throughout the update process established a refined
long-term vision for the City's parks, recreation, and open space
resources, and gives near-term direction to how the city will allocate its
parks and recreation funding. This ensures that the City's park system
is responsive in meeting the needs of the community.
Maintain Funding Eligibility
The City relies on grant funding for many of its parks facilities and
programs. Most funding sources require periodic updates to parks and
recreation plans in order to remain eligible for their funding programs.
For example, most funding sources require that funded projects be
identified within a jurisdiction's park plan, and that the goals and
policies contained within support the proposed project. It is critical that
the City continue to successfully compete for outside funding to ensure
the development and maintenance of a high quality park system now
and into the future.
Consistency with State and Local Requirements
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires state
and local governments to manage Washington's growth by identifying
and protecting critical areas and natural resource lands, designating
urban growth areas, preparing comprehensive plans and implementing
them through capital investments and development regulations. One
of the GMA's 14 goals is to "retain open space, enhance recreational
opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to
natural resource lands and water, and develop parks and recreational
facilities" (RCW 36.70A.020(9)). As such, cities and counties are
encouraged to develop a parks and recreation element to their
Comprehensive Plan. A new requirement of the State Growth
Management Act is for cities and counties to plan for the promotion of
physical activity in their communities.
In addition, recommendations, goals, policies, and implementation
actions within this plan must support and be consistent with the
policy direction in the City's Comprehensive Plan and capital facilities
planning.
Responsiveness
This Plan sets the framework for future improvements to the City's
parks and open space system. The Plan will provide guidance to

PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN
f\-IC
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
decision makers and will set the stage to make informed decisions
about the future of the City's parks and recreation facilities and
programs. As the City continues to grow, new development will occur,
and new jobs will be created in Federal Way, creating additional
recreation demands. This plan will help prepare the City to be poised
to act should future opportunities arise, and thus allows the City to
pro-actively address the recreation needs of a diverse and growing
community.
Guidance
This Plan provides guidance to the City's Parks, Recreation and
Cultural Services Department for the next six years and beyond. The
plan is a tool for the City to manage its existing park and open space
resources. The Plan includes an inventory of existing facilities, and
assesses the current and future needs and demands of Federal Way
residents. This Plan establishes goal and policy direction, level of
service standards and a phased implementation strategy. This Plan
update will also provide the basis for parks and open space funding in
the City's six-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

5. Public Involvement
As part of the Plan effort, the City initiated a public outreach process
to engage community members in a dialogue about the future of
PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT ~-ll APRIL 21, 2006 I 5
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
the City's parks, open spaces, and recreation programs. The public
outreach process included numerous opportunities for public input
such as three meetings with stakellolders (representing various park
user groups and decision-makers), a citizen survey made available at
city facilities as well as on the City's website, and several public open
houses where ideas were presented and public feedback encouraged.
Community Survey
During February-March 2006, the City gathered input from residents
through a parks and recreation survey. This survey was posted on
Residents give feedback on specific the City's website, as well as handed out to various community groups
park issues at open house # 1. and made available at public facilities such as City Hall. This survey
asked questions about the park facilities respondents use, why they
use them, the types of recreational activities they do at parks, and
priorities for future improvements.
Community Open Houses
Two open houses were held to listen to residents and gather insights
into community parks and recreation needs. Information from these

community. The open house was set up as a self guided "tour"
through various displays, each with exercises set up to elicit
responses both about the general importance of park related issues
and to generate ideas specific to each park.
Open House #2: March 8, 2006. The goal of this open house was to
present the key themes that were distilled from responses received
during open house #1, the stakeholder group, and the citizen survey.
Strategies based upon these key themes or concepts were also
presented. Attendees were asked to provide feedback, including what
they liked and didn't like about the concepts presented.
Stakeholder Group
A stakeholder group was also formed to provide guidance for the Plan.
Each member of the stakeholder group represented organizations

the City to more effectively reach a broader population by working
with these local organizations, sports associations, and service clubs.
In addition, these groups have an intimate knowledge of the City's
parks and open space facilities and recreation programs and can
provide insights and detail to the planning process. Members of the
stakeholder group are identified on the acknowledgements page.
Three stakeholder meetings were held during the planning process:

In addition to stakeholder meetings, individual interviews were
conducted with stakeholder group members during the week of March
13-17, 2006 to gather additional input and confirmation on core values.
Public Hearings/Adoption and Approval Process
In addition to the stakeholder meetings and public open houses,
several briefings, working sessions, and public hearings with the
Parks Commission, Planning Commission, and City Council will be
conducted as part of the Plan adoption and approval process.

Park.
Core Value #1: Improve Existing Facilities and
Provide Multiple Functions in Parks
The City has a wide range of properties and assets in its parks and
recreation system, which are distributed throughout the city, including:
· Open space and natural areas that provide wildlife habitat,
protection of environmentally sensitive areas, and passive
recreation opportunities
· Trails
· Neighborhood parks located in residential neighborhoods,
Steel Lake Park picnic shelters are very · Community recreation facilities
popular with residents. · A wide variety of recreation programs and facilities
r. Public input indicated that there is a strong community desire and
emphasis focusing on improving the resources the City currently
owns and maintains. This approach promotes better use and efficient
management of available resources. The Plan also addresses the
multi-use function of each park and open space. Parks that have
a variety of uses and facilities at each site appeal to a wider range
of user groups, serve different ages within families, and are an
efficient means of providing parks and recreation services. As future
improvements are made to each park or open space, the City should

addition, the City has acquired a number of undeveloped parcels as
open space or potential future park locations. Many of these facilities
are not widely known or used by the community.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Core Value #2: Develop a Walking and Biking
Community Through an Integrated Trail and Sidewalk
Network
A network of trails and non-motorized facilities is a priority for Federal
Way's future. According to the survey results, walking, hiking, and dog-
walking are some of the most common activities residents participate
in at local park facilities. In fact, walking is one of the easiest means
for people to get daily physical activity. For example, the BPA Trail is
one of the most highly used facilities in the City. However, an often
heard comment is that the BPA Trail does not connect to many other
locations or places. A system of loop trails or an interconnected network
of sidewalks and trails will provide a series of routes and options for the This sign is building awareness about

system located within existing parks and open spaces.
Core Value #3: Retain and Improve Our Open Spaces
Open spaces and natural areas in the City provide an array of benefits to
people and wildlife and can contribute to enhancing water quality in the
community. These spaces provide pockets of natural areas within the
City, wildlife habitat, native plants and trees. and protect environmentally
sensitive areas from development. The City's open spaces include
wooded areas, ravines, wetlands, and shoreline environments. These
open spaces help to define Federal Way's community character. Many
of these open spaces contain trails and other opportunities to experience
nature close to home.
Protecting Federal Way's natural systems is critical to preserving the
quality of life in the community. The City should continue to protect and
maintain its open spaces and natural resources. These open spaces
provide a valuable amenity and resource in the community to be able to
both experience and enjoy natural areas. A balance between protecting
these areas and providing opportunities for the community to enjoy and
use the facilities is essential. The City has an obligation to not only be
environmental stewards of these lands, but to also educate and promote
community awareness of the benefits of these open spaces. An open Residents gather for Summer Sounds

education, invasive species management, and low impact public access
opportunities will provide the greatest benefit to the community now and
into the future.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Core Value #4: Create Community Gathering Places
and Destinations
One of the consistent messages heard from the public is that the City
lacks adequate community gathering places or destinations. There
are very few places for the community to gather, meet with friends and
neighbors, and socialize. Community parks such as Celebration Park
and Steel Lake Park currently serve as community gathering places,
especially during the summer months. Retail areas also serve this
role in the City, though most of the retail areas are strip commercial
located along major arterials, not necessarily destination locations like
you would find in a Downtown or a neighborhood commercial district.
Creating community gathering places is especially important as the
City Center develops. People need comfortable places to linger and
congregate for community events. The City's parks can continue to
fulfill the role as community gathering places, especially if they include
amenities, multiple functions, and are safe and comfortable for the
public's use. Ensuring that trail and non-motorized improvements
connect popular destinations in the City will also encourage increased
use of these facilities.
Core Value #5: Provide a Balance of Services For a
Diverse Population
Understanding the population being served and providing programs
and opportunities that meet all residents' needs and interests is a
major goal of the Plan. Federal Way's park system should serve all
sectors of the population, providing a variety of options for active and
passive recreation opportunities. The City should offer a diversity
of facilities and services to accommodate a variety of age groups,
interests, income levels, and abilities. Special considerations
should be given to youth, seniors, and persons with special needs.
Additionally, Federal Way is becoming increasingly diverse with
residents from different backgrounds and cultures. The City should
continue to strive to be pro-active in assessing recreational trends
and provide services to reflect changing demands in a timely fashion.
7. Draft Vision
A vision expresses the community values, goals and priorities for the
future of the parks and recreation system. It conveys the park, open
space, and recreation qualities desired in the community now and into
the future.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Federal Way's unique landscape of hills, lakes, views, and Puget
Sound shoreline is enjoyed by the community through its linked
network of parks, open space, and gathering spots. Quiet green
places, vibrant gatherings, and diverse recreation and culture all
celebrate Federal Way's character and identity.
Our parks are clean, safe, and offer a variety of opportunities for
people of all ages and abilities to recreate and be healthy. Vibrant
public spaces in the City Center host a variety of public and cultural
events. Open spaces protect functioning ecosystems in tandem with
supporting public use, enjoyment, and environmental education about
the community's natural systems. Active, healthy living is supported
by an extensive walking network which links people to parks close
to home and community activities and events - community centers,
schools, public spaces, the City Center, and other destinations.

Chapter 2: Community Profile
1. Regional Location
Federal Way is located in the South Central Puget Sound Region,
between Seattle and Tacoma. Federal Way is approximately 25 miles
south of Seattle and 8 miles north of Tacoma's City Center.
Federal Way is served by Interstate 5, State Route 18 and State Route
167. The major arterials are Pacific Highway South (HWY 99), South
3201h Street, South 336111 Street, South 3481h Street (Campus Drive),
21S1 Avenue Southwest, State Route 161 (Enchanted Parkway),
Military Road, and State Route 509 (Dash Point Road). King County
Metro is the primary transit service provided within the City. Figure 2.1 Celebration Park
is a vicinity map showing the City in its regional context.
Planning Area
Federal Way is composed of 13,568 acres of land (21.5 square miles),
stretching from South 272nd to the north and the Tacoma/Pierce
County border to the south, Military Road to the east and Puget Sound
to the west. The planning area includes current City limits as well as
the Potential Annexation Area (PAA), which is the unincorporated
King County area east of 1-5. The PAA is included in the planning
area because it is assumed that eventually it will be annexed to the
City, and thus, ti,e City must plan for the population's future parks and
recreation needs. This plan identifies existing park facilities in the P AA
and will provide policy direction on these areas. The City currently BPA Trail at Panther Lake Open
owns and maintains one property within the PAA' Camelot Open Space
Space. Any reference made to other parkS and open spaces within the
PAA is solely for planning purposes- it does not imply city ownership
or current responsibility for management.
2. Population Characteristics
Federal Way is changing and growing. Who makes up the population
within the city of Federal Way in terms of age, income, ethnicity
and household composition are major determinants of recreational
interests and demand.

CHAPTER 2: COMMUNITY PROFILE
Comprehensive Plan, Federal Way will need to accommodate 6,188
new residential units and 7,841 new jobs within this time period. This
equates to a total population of approximately 102,074 residents by
2022, or a 20% increase. The City is also an employment center, with
the majority of employers located in the City Center, along Highway
99, and the West Campus area. If growth projections for the PAA are
included in the projected population figures, it is anticipated that the
future population will be 132,028 in 2020.1

park and recreation facilities, and providing a continuous sidewalk
and trail network. Planning for population growth and the anticipated
development type and location means the City is pro-actively
addressing the community recreation needs now and into the future.
Age Distribution
It is also important to understand the age distribution in the community
as each age group tend to have different demands for parks and
recreation facilities and programming. For example, youth tend to
be more active than other groups. They participate in competitive
sports and activities such as baseball, soccer, basketball. football,

swimming, etc. Young adults (ages 18-35) are also an active age
group and form the core of adult competitive sports. Seniors (age
55+) are increasingly participating in active recreation programs and
activities. This will continue to be the trend as the baby boomers enter
this age bracket. According to Census data, approximately 30% of
the Federal Way population is under the age of 18. Roughly 30% of
the population is part of the "baby boomer" generation, or between the
ages of 42 and 60. These numbers imply that parks and recreation
planning needs to respond to an aging population while also providing
the facilities and programming that are attractive to families.
Population Diversity Federal Way teens enjoy a day at the
park.
The ethnic and cultural composition of a community is another
major factor to consider in determining what kinds of recreational
and leisure activities may be in demand. Parks and open spaces as
well as cultural and recreational programming should address the
different values and interests of the various ethnic groups living in
the community. The 2000 U.S. Census data indicate the majority of
the population in Federal Way is Caucasian (66.1 %), a decline in
the overall population since 1990. However, the percentage of racial
minorities in the City has increased over the past decade. Persons of

other race, and 4.4% are two or more races. In addition, approximately
17.5% of residents were born in another country. These numbers
clearly indicate that the City of Federal Way is becoming more diverse
and will likely continue to diversify. The City will continue to monitor
trends regarding population diversity in the community to ensure it
is pro-actively addressing future population needs that reflect the
diversity of the community.
Shoreline at Dumas Bay Park 3. Natural and Physical Features
The richness of Federal Way's natural features and variety in its
physical form provide an ideal setting for parks and recreational
opportunities. The quality of the City's hydrologic features, forested
areas, and scenic vistas is one of the primary reasons that many
individuals and families live in Federal Way. The City's natural
environment is composed of a wide variety of landforms, soils,
watercourses, and vegetation. Its terrain ranges from steep hills and
ridge lines to plateaus and lakes.
The City of Federal Way is located within the Hylebos Creek, Lower
Puget Sound, and Mill Creek drainage basins. These basins contain
an integrated system of lakes and streams that provide a natural
drainage system for over 36 square miles of southwest King County
West Hylebos Wetlands Park and northeast Pierce County.
Critical areas such as wetlands, steep slopes, streams, and shorelines
provide valuable natural functions such as water purification and
wildlife habitat as well as opportunities for passive recreation such
as walking and bird watching. Federal Way contains several types of
wetlands, including marshes, bogs, ponds, forested and scrub-shrub
wetlands. Each wetland type plays a valuable role in the hydrological
system and offers unique wildlife habitat and human open space
values.
Federal Way has eight miles of shoreline and stunning views of the
Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and Mt. Rainier.

Chapter 3: Existing Park and Open Space System
Currently, the City has a range of community parks, neighborhood
parks, open spaces, trails, and other special use facilities. This chapter
describes the existing parks and open space system in Federal Way
today, including park facility conditions and needs. It also describes
facilities owned by other entities, which are located within the City (see
Tables 3.2 - 3.6).
1. Overview and Inventory of Federal
Way Park and Open Space System
The existing parks and recreational areas are divided into six categories.
Each category represents a distinct type of recreational activity or
opportunity. Figure 3.1 shows the parks and open spaces in the City.
Table 3.1 provides a summary of the existing park acreage by category.
Detailed park inventory sheets for each park and open space facility,
including the specific needs assessment are located in Appendix A of this
chapter.

community park facilities are designed for organized activities and sports,
although individual and family activities are also encouraged. Table 3.2
lists Federal Way's community parks' acreage and key features. Figure 3.1
shows where tllese facilities are located.
Since incorporation (1990), the City has made significant effort on
developing new and upgrading existing active recreation facilities at
Community Parks. Community parks are:
· Community-wide destinations
· Often the most popular and frequently visited parks in the

CHAPTER 3: EXISTING PARK AND OPEN SPACE SYSTEM
Neighborhood Parks
The system currently includes 19 neighborhood parks located in the
City, primarily in single family residential areas. Neighborhood parks
are designed primarily for non-supervised, non-organized recreation
activities. They generally range in size from 2-10 acres and are
intended to serve an area of approximately one-half mile radius.
Some of these parks are neighborhood level community gathering
places; others are little used. Neighborhood parks provide a diversity
of features and facilities close to where people live, including play
equipment, picnic areas, trails, open grass areas for passive use,
informal spaces, natural areas, and some limited active recreation
facilities such as outdoor basketball or tennis courts. Neighborhood
parks are described in Table 3.3 as well as in the park inventory in
Appendix A. Figure 3.2 shows where these facilities are located.

CHAPTER 3: EXISTING PARK AND OPEN SPACE SYSTEM
Open Spaces
Federal Way's natural systems of forests, wetlands, and riparian
corridors help define the City's character and make it unique. Open
space areas are defined as public lands that are in a near natural
condition, or designated for future park or open space use. City-owned
undeveloped lands/open space total approximately 544 acres. These
areas provide aesthetic relief and physical buffers, protect sensitive
areas from development, and help to define the character of Federal
Way's parks and open space resources. Many of the City's publicly

owned, undeveloped lands are constrained for development due to
the presence of environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands,
streams, lakes, steep slopes, and wildlife habitat. These areas offer
both the ability to protect and preseNe natural areas, and provide low-
impact public access to nature in an urban setting:
Trails
Trails, often called linear parks, are routes for non-motorized traffic
(walking and biking) that generally follow a utility or stream corridor,
ravine or some other elongated feature, such as public rights-of-
way. Examples of existing trails within the city are the SPA and West
Campus trails, which comprise 118 acres and total 5.82 miles in trail
length. In addition, many of the City's parks and open spaces contain
a lrail nelwork within them, however most of the trail distances have
not been calculated within the parks. Table 3.5 lists the trails within
Federal Way.

provide a range facilities. Private and public recreation facilities can
benefit one another by minimizing redundancies in services offered

the Knutzen Family Theatre and the beach at Steel Lake Park. The
new Community Center (opening in 2007) will provide new spaces to
significantly broaden the range of cultural and recreation programming
opportunities available to the community.
The City's cultural and recreation programs served approximately
1,250 individuals in 2005. Programs with the highest unmet demand
were education, music, crafts and visual arts, and adult athletics,
however this varied depending on the time of year.

CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS
Each quarter, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department
produces the Recreational Programs brochure with a complete listing
of classes, programs, events and rental facilities. The City also offers
fee reductions and scholarships to assist individuals who meet certain
income guidelines for many programs and services.
According to the survey conducted as a part of this Plan,
approximately 30% of residents participate in City programs of some
kind. The majority of residents (70%) learn about City programs
through the Recreation brochure, which confirms the effectiveness of
this method for providing information.
Youth and Adult Athletics
The City provides a variety of adult and youth athletic programs.
The most popular adult athletics programs sponsored by the City
are softball, soccer, and volleyball. The City also offers adult health
and fitness classes such as yoga, pilates, and "step & flex." Most
youth athletic programs in Federal Way are run by alternative service
providers. The City provides support to alternative service providers
with access to city facilities such as fields and gyms. Primary service
providers for youth athletics include youth soccer, football and
baseball associations, YMCA and Boys and Girls Clubs. The City's
approach to youth athletics is to provide programs and fill needs within
the community not currently provided by alternative service providers.
Examples of youth athletic programs provided by the City include:
. Girls Basketball
. Youth Volleyball (to begin 2006)
. Youth Tennis lessons.
Although tennis participation nationwide is trending down, youth tennis
lessons in Federal Way continue to be popular due to the instructor
and quality of instruction.
The City does not currently have plans to develop additional youth
athletic programs since other providers are doing an effective job
meeting the youth athletic program needs of the community. Table
4.1 summarizes the youth sports associations in Federal Way.

~aurce: City of Federal way.
The City currently offers limited teen focused programs and services.
The City does not have a designated staff or budget for developing
teen programs. Currently, the Youth Commission activities are
facilitated by a Recreation Coordinator with multiple areas of
responsibility. The City does offer a teen camp in the Summer. The
Boys & Girls Club currently serves the teenage group, offering a broad
range of programs in the community including the Teen Center at the
EX3 facility. The new EX3 facility includes a technology and computer
lab, climbing wall, gymnasium, and teen lounge area. A variety of
programs are offered at EX3 including men's basketball league,
volleyball league, tutoring and educational programs, art, and Tae
Kwon Do.
According to the 2006 parks survey, teen programs were listed
as a priority for the community. However, as most of the survey
respondents were 45+ years of age, it is unclear whether it is the
teens themselves who want more programs. Today, teens tend to
look for opportunities for unstructured social interaction or specialized

Fitness
Health and fitness classes include yoga, step and flex, Pilates,
water exercise and martial arts such as judo and tai chi. In general,
enrollment in fitness classes is declining. There are several reasons
for this - the City currently schedules these activities in schools and
is subject to being cancelled for other activities or for school closures
and maintenance periods. Secondly, there are a number of private A resident joyfully crosses the finish line

rates. However, interest in health and fitness related classes may
rise with the opening of the new Community Center in 2007. The
new community center will include an aerobics room; gymnasiums;
a leisure pool, lap pool, sauna and steam room; a fitness center, and
additional classroom space.
Dance, Creative Movement, Visual Arts
The City offers some craft and visual arts classes such as
photography for beginners, and scrap booking. The crafts and visual
arts programs are less popular than some of the other programs
offered by the City. The craft/visual arts programs that tend to be most -..-

popular are those In which people learn a skill-such as photography
or ceramics. However, the City does not currently have the facilities
for those types of arts and media programs (i.e. facilities currently lack
a dark room, kiln, etc). The City does not currently have a facility in
which to offer additional visual media programs. However, the new
Community Center will have sufficient classroom space to offer arts
and crafts that do not require specialized equipment or spaces. Dance
classes range from toddler dance classes, ice skating lessons, hip hop
dance, and cheerleading. Music classes include private and group
instruction for guitar and piano, as well as toddler music programs.
PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT A~ ~ ~ APRIL 21, 2006 I 41
CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS
Dance classes and gymnastics are held at Dumas Bay Centre, where
there is a stage, a creative movement room, and a visual arts room.
Music classes, such as guitar and piano, are held at Saghalie Middle
School or Dumas Bay Centre. Gymnastics will likely move to the
Community Center when it opens. Dance Classes tend to be large and
popular, especially the pre-school age and special interest classes.
. Toddlers/young age dance classes are well attended such as
toddler tap, youth tap and ballet.
. Adult Ballroom Dance is popular; however class sizes tend to
fluctuate in size.
. The most popular music classes tend to be the private and
group lessons such as piano and guitar.
. Gymnastics is also quite popular, likely because children are
able to participate without parental supervision.
Theatre Programs
The City offers a variety of theatre arts programs for a range of age
groups. Classes include musical theater, private coaching, and
acting. Classes are typically held at the Knutzen Family Theater and
occasionally at other facilities such as Saghalie Middle School.
Pre-school Education
The preschool education programs, located at the Steel Lake Annex
are designed to promote children's social, physical and cognitive
growth in a secure, creative and stimulating environment, and to help
prepare children for kindergarten. The City offers parent participation
programs for those under three, and a variety of classes ranging from
two to eight hours per week for those ages three through five.
Preschool education programs fluctuate in popularity with the highest
attendance currently being in the classes based on trendy themes.
Preschool class numbers are expected to rise when moved to the
new community center due to increased visibility, new classrooms and
equipment, and the option for parents to enroll their child while they

Seasonal, Specialty and Summer Camps
The City currently offers a variety of camp programs throughout the
year, offered to children and teens, ages two to fifteen. The youth
summer day camp, for those ages six through twelve, is a popular City
program, and currently operates at capacity, with available camps size

constrained by transportation (i.e. two vans plus a shuttle equals the
maximum capacity of 35 kids). Camp is currently held at Sherwood
Forest Elementary for seven weeks of the Slimmer, and at Steel Lake
Park for three weeks. Camp will move to the Community Center when
completed. If there is enough interest, the City could operate two
sites, one at Sherwood Forest and one at the Community Center. The
City is currently exploring other transportation options for the camp.
The City also offers Mid-Winter, Spring, and Winter holiday camps,
which vary in popularity. Field trips are currently the most popular
activity, and boost registration when they are scheduled as a large part
of camp. During the summer, the City also contracts out for specialty
camps such as martial arts, Lego workshops, and horseback riding
camps.
Aquatics
Aquatics programs are located at the Kenneth Jones Pool and include
public swim, swim instruction, water aerobics, and pool parties.
Kenneth Jones pool directly competes with the King County Aquatic
Center, which has a variety of swimming programs available to the
community. The County provides a wider range of programs and
services for the pre-school and youth age groups. City programs such
as water aerobics are quite popular as well as private swim lessons
(mommy & me to adult age). In addition, other service providers offer
classes, lessons, and swim team at Kenneth Jones Pool. The new
Community Center will replace Kenneth Jones Pool and will include
both lap and leisure pools.
Inclusive Recreation
A program currently growing in popularity is the Recreation, Inc.
program, which is geared toward individuals with developmental
disabilities. The "Inc." stands for "inclusion," as the City is trying to
attract people of ALL abilities to programs. This program consists of a
variety of classes, trips, athletics and events which run throughout the
year.
Senior Services
The Klahanee Lake/Senior Center offers a variety of classes, trips,
and events for seniors. Generally, the more 'active' programs are
growing in popularity (tai chi, senior softball, etc). The less active
programs are in decline and less popular (i.e. crafts, bingo, etc).

CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS
Often, the popularity of programs are instructor-based. When people
make a connection with the instructor they are likely to continue. Some
of the programs/services currently being provided include:
. Art classes
. AARP driver safety program
. Bridge
. Open Pickleball
. Excursions
. Tai Chi
. Bingo
. Live music
. Hot Lunch Programs 4 days a week
. Meals on Wheels (serving 300-350 individuals/year)
. Senior softball
. Other services e.g., foot care, tax help, etc
Community Events
Community events are sponsored by the Recreation and Cultural
Services Division every month with the exception of: January, March,
April, May, and November. Community Events are typically free
or low-cost and to assist with the cost of providing events the City
seeks other government and corporate sponsorship. Community
Events tend to be very popular as they provide opportunities for
the participation for all ages, bring the community together, and are
financially accessible. Some of the large community events include:
Residents enjoying the music at Summer · Red, White and Blues Festival (Held on the 4th of July at
Sounds on the Beach. Celebration Park)
· Summer Sounds Outdoor Concert Series (Steel Lake Park)
· Fall Carnival (Community Center)
· Easter Egg Hunt (held at Saghalie Middle School)
· Teen Egg Hunt (Saghalie Junior High)
· Youth Fishing Derby (Steel Lake Park)
Rentals and Retreat Facilities
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department manages
several rental facilities that require a fee and often a special use
permit. These facilities include picnic sites and shelter at Steel Lake
Park, conference rooms and retreat facilities at Dumas Bay Center,
event space and kitchen at Klahanee Community and Senior Center,
and party rooms at Kenneth Jones Pool. In addition, if Camp Kilworth
is purchased by the City, it is likely that the accompanying lodge will
be managed as a rental facility for special events.

3. Non-City Service Providers
In addition to the City of Federal Way's Recreation and Cultural
Arts programming there are other public, private, or non-profit
organizations and associations within the city, and in close proximity,
that offer complementary classes, facilities, and productions in dance,
art, and theater. Other recreation programming service providers are
summarized in Table 4.2.
Since incorporation, the City has closely coordinated with these
providers to ensure that the City is not duplicating services already
being provided by others. In this way, the Department can
concentrate on "filling in the gaps" and provide programs that others
do not currently provide.

CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS
4. Recreation Demand
As a part of the planning effort for the Community Center, an analysis
of recreation trends was conducted to help understand local recreation
demand. The following general statements describe how various age
groups in the City tend to use parks and recreation facilities.2 The
percentages shown below indicate the percentage of the Federal Way
population in each age group:
· Under 5 years (7.8%) - This group represents users of
preschool and tot recreation programs and facilities. These
individuals make up the future users of youth recreation
programs.
· 5 to 14 years (16.1 %) - This group represents current
youth program participants. The percentage indicates that both
youth and teen programs will continue to be in demand.
· 15 to 24 years (14.2 %) - This group represents teen/young
adult program participants moving out of the youth recreation
programs and into adult programs. This number is likely to
increase as the youth age group gets older, indicating continued
growth in the active recreation activities such as organized sports.
· 25 years to 34 years (15.9%) - This group represents
involvement in adult recreation programming. Trends show
that organized sports such as softball, volleyball, and
soccer will continue in their popularity with this age group. At the
same time this group has the characteristic of beginning long-
term relationships and establishing families, which competes with
being actively engaged in organized sports.
· 35 to 54 years (30.7%) - This group represents users of
a wide range of adult programming and park facilities. Their
characteristics extend from having children using preschool
and youth programs to becoming empty nesters. This group
typically has less time to devote to recreational activities. They
tend to use parks on weekends and the occasional evenings
both for active and passive activities.
· 55 years plus (15.3%) - This group represents users of
older adult programming exhibiting the characteristics
of approaching retirement or already retired and typically
enjoying grandchildren. This group generally also ranges from
very healthy, active seniors to more physically inactive seniors.

CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS
State and National Trends
National and state trends in recreational programming and recreation
activities, and participation levels people are doing can provide insights
into local recreation demands. According to the National Sporting Goods
Association Survey (2004), the top five recreational sports in 2004 were
exercise walking, camping, swimming, exercising with fitness equipment,
and bowling. Walking is consistently the number one exercise in which
Americans participate. Over the past ten years, participation in sports
such as basketball, football, softball, swimming, tennis, and volleyball
has declined while sports such as soccer and baseball have remained
relatively steady. 'Extreme sports' type activities such as skateboarding
have continued to grow in popularity. National recreation trends also
reflect a healthier and more fit senior population. Increasingly, seniors
are seeking activities that are more active, while more sedentary
activities are on the decline.
National trends are reflected at the state level as well. According to the
State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning (SCaRP) report3,
the most popular recreation activities are those that are close-to-home
and low cost, such as walking/hiking, walking a dog and bicycling.
Outdoor team and individual sports is the second most popular
recreation activity for Washington residents, followed by nature related
activities.
Community Feedback on Recreation Programs
According to the 2006 Parks survey, special events are the most popular
recreation program offered by the City, followed by organized sports and
athletics programs.
When respondents were asked how to prioritize future investments on
recreation programs, respondents indicated that future emphasis should
be placed on children and teen programs as well as senior programs.
In addition, the public outreach process identified a need to ensure that
recreation programming is serving the needs of the increasingly diverse
Federal Way community.

CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ,
Chapter 5: Needs Assessment and
Recommendations
1. Introduction
The needs assessment and recommendations chapter focuses on the
research, analysis, and observations of the current and future parks
and recreation needs for the Federal Way community. The needs
assessment is based on analysis of:
· Public feedback,
· Community vision and values,
· Identified local trends in participation and use of facilities, and
· State/national recreation trends.
The recommendations coming out of the needs assessment inform the
development of goals and policies.
2. Needs Assessment
The needs assessment includes a system-wide evaluation of park,
recreation, and open space needs in the City of Federal Way. A key
aspect of the needs assessment is to identify and analyze current
service levels in the City's parks and open spaces. The level of
service analysis is based on the park's classification and existing
standards for each park type, size, and geographic location. This
analysis helps to identify existing and future projected needs based on
projected population growth.
Level of Service Standards
Level of service standards are measures of the amount and quality
of park and recreation sites and facilities that must be provided to
meet a community's basic needs and expectations. 1 The benefit
of developing level of service standards is to set goals and provide
the community an opportunity to measure progress toward meeting
community needs and demands. Level of service standards provide a
benchmark for evaluating deficiencies in the existing system, and can
provide the justification for the need to develop additional park facilities
and improvements. Historically, the accepted practice for park level
of service standards has been to apply uniform national standards

(developed by the National Recreation & Parks Association) of amount
of park land per 1000 population or based on geographic distance of
residents from parks. However, no two communities are alike and the
concept of applying national standards to local conditions does not
allow for customization based on community preferences and values.
Current trends are moving away from uniform national standards
for parks. Most people recognize that nationally-based standards

in built out communities, like Federal Way, where there is a limited
land base for new park development. In addition, many communities
are using qualitative measures to help determine whether community
.,... i~ .....-r- ~; needs and demands are being met. The focus for Federal Way is to
analyze analysis is much more focused on looking at the parks system
comprehensively to ensure that the system is addressing the types of
recreational activities people in the community are currently doing.
The focus for Federal Way is on how best to use the existing park
and open space land base to accommodate the activities residents
and employees are doing. Many of the recommendations and the
qualitative measures included within this chapter focus on efforts that
will help to add recreation facilities and also activate and enliven the
City's parks and open spaces. Efforts focus on cultivating "community
ownership", how parks and open spaces are being used, ways to
enhance use and activity levels, development of a City-wide walking
system, and how the parks and open spaces help to shape the image
and identity of Federal Way as a place with a high quality of life.
The level of service standards analyzed in this plan are the same
standards that were identified in the 2000 Comprehensive Parks,
Recreation, and Open Space Plan. The 2000 standards are shown
in Table 5.1. These standards are recommended because they serve
as a baseline for comparing service levels between 2000 and the
present conditions, and help identify potential future deficiencies in
service. In addition to these calculations, this Plan also recommends
that the current quantitative standards be layered with additional, more
qualitative approaches to help meet future parks and recreation needs

Regional Parks
Regional parks serve the City and surrounding area. They are often
large park facilities that include both passive and active recreation
uses. Dash Point State Park is the only regional park in the City.
Dash Point State Park maintains a large camping area, which draws
people from throughout the state.

City + PAA = 24 ac Saghalie Park, and Sacajawea Park, totaling 222 acres. Community
parks offer a diversity of facilities and tend to be the more popular and
recognizable parks in the system because of the park size, range of
amenities, sports fields, and passive recreation areas. These parks
are also locations where members of the whole family can recreate,
participating in a variety of activities concurrently.
Analysis
According to the level of service calculations, the City is close to
meeting its level of service standard of 2.8 acres/1000 population for
the current population. The current service level is 2.6 acres/1 000
population. For the projected 2012 population. an additional 36
acres would be necessary to meet the level of service standards for
community parks, or approximately one additional community park.
When the population and parks located within the PAA are included
in the analysis, then the current level of service for community parks
improves because there are three parks in the PAA that function
as community parks: Lake Geneva Park, Five Mile Park, and South
County Ball fields. If we address the population in the PAA, then the
parks that serve those areas should also be included in the area totals
(although the City is not currently responsible for those facilities). The
current level of service for community parks for both the City and
PAA is 2.8 acres/1 000 population. For the 2012 projected population
(combined City and PAA) the level of service is 2.6 acres/1 000, or a
future need of 24 additional acres.
The community parks in the system are well loved and used by
the community. Many are destinations in the community and the

location of large community events. Most of the facilities are in fair
to good shape, but could benefit from some strategic improvements.
Additionally, while Sacajewea and Lakota Parks have been master
planned, and Celebration Park and Saghalie Park have been recently
developed, Steel Lake Park has not been master planned or studied to
determine how to maximize utilization and benefits.
The primary issue raised by the community is the condition of the

fields. Poor drainage on some of the fields, fields that are not An adult softball game at Steel Lake

spaces for year round games and events that meet the needs of
all users. Most of these fields are programmed for leagues and
organized sports. Upgrading these athletic fields will substantially
improve the usability of the parks by increasing the number of games
that can be programmed annually in those facilities.
Additional input through the public process indicates that there is a
lack of unprogrammed fields in the City for informal groups that are
not associated with leagues or sports groups. Informal users of the
soccer, basketball, and baseball/softball fields compete with organized
sports associations and league play for the use of these facilities.
These informal users get 'bumped' from the fields when league play
need to use them. School grounds in the community often provide Soccer field and track at Sacajawea Park
an opportunity for unorganized use of the fields, although these fields
are also programmed for use by the schools and some of the local
recreation providers.
Neighborhood Parks
There are a total of 19 neighborhood parks within the City, located
primarily in single family residential areas. The City has made
significant progress in recent years in constructing new neighborhood
parks in underserved areas as well as conducting phased
improvements at some of the older neighborhood parks. Most areas
in the City have a neighborhood park within a quarter to half mile of all
residents with the exception of limited areas in the southeast and north
part of the city.
Neighborhood parks serve a local purpose to the surrounding
residential neighborhood. The neighborhood parks range in character
and use. Some of the neighborhood parks are neighborhood level

AMENITY-BASED STANDARDS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD
PARKS
This plan recommends applying the level of service standards
from the 2000 Plan because they establish a good benchmark for
progress the City has made to date. Although the City is in good
condition regarding standards for quantity of neighborhood parks,
it became evident through the outreach process for this Plan that
many of the neighborhood parks are not well-known or well-used.
Play areas such as this one in Madrona Some of the neighborhood parks have issues with poor visibility,
Park are popular with residents. vandalism, or aging equipment. As the City has done an effective
job of providing a diversity of neighborhood parks in the system, the
most important need for neighborhood parks is to focus on ways to
enliven them and make them more usable places. Most of the future
need for neighborhood parks is amenity-based, to ensure that each
neighborhood park has a minimum or baseline of improvements.
Recommendations later in this chapter focus on the specific
improvements that will help to activate the neighborhood parks,
engage the local neighborhood in the design and stewardship of the
parks, and capitalize on the unique potential of each park.
Based on this analysis, the City should layer the current level of

value to people, animals and the environment. The City manages
a broad range of open spaces, each with varying constraints and
potential. Some open spaces have environmental constraints such
as wetlands or steep slopes, and function more as "breathing room"
open spaces. Some of the City's open spaces are small parcels that
do not have significant open space or habitat value. Others are larger
and provide trails within a well-intact natural setting. Some provide
shoreline access. Many of the City's open spaces have the potential
for educational and interpretive opportunities. Several open spaces
in the system may be appropriate for park development to meet the
recreation needs of the community in the future.
Analysis
Within the City there are a total of 543 acres of open space lands or
roughly 6.3 acres/1000 population, which exceeds the City's level of
service standard of 6.0 ac/1000 population. Future needs for open
space, based on a 2012 population is an additional 11 acres of open
space.
When the PAA is included in the analysis, the current level of service
for open spaces is 5.9 ac/1 000 population, or just slightly below the
City's level of service standard because there are not many publicly
owned open space areas in the PAA. Future open space needs for
the City and the PAA will require an additional 116 acres of open
space to meet the City's level of service standard, which could be

difficult to attain given that there are limited undeveloped areas within Trails Level of Service
the City that are not already publicly owned. One option for meeting
the City's level of service standard for open space may be to add Standard: 2.2 ac/1 ,000 or 0.2 miles
partial open space credit for open spaces owned by other public
entities. Current Inventory:
City = 118 ac (5.8 mi)
Trails City+PAA = 118 ac (5.8 ac)
There are two major trails in the City that aren't within parks or Current Service Levels:
opens spaces: the BPA Trail and West Campus Trail. These trails, City = 1.4 ac/1 ,000 (.06 mi)
particularly the BPA trail, are popular and widely used. However, City + PAA = 1.1 ac/1,000
during the public outreach process, residents complained about the (.05 mil
inadequate maintenance of the BPA trail corridor, extensive invasive
species, and the tact that the trails do not go anywhere or connect to Future Need (2012):
destinations. Many of the City's parks and open spaces also contain City = 85 ac (12.6 mil
trails or walking loops. Two examples are West Hylebos Wetlands City + PAA = 134.7 ac
Park and Panther Lake Open Space, which contain a significant (17.2mi)
amount of trails. Dash Point State Park also has an extensive system
of trails, and is well used by the community. There are also a number
of shorter trails within the City system.
Analysis
The City's current level of service standard is based on both the
acreage dedicated to the trail, and the actual length of the trail. The
City has 118 acres dedicated to trails (the bulk of which is within the
BPA Trail right-ot-way) or 1.4 acres/lOOO population. Based on that
standard, the City would need to dedicate an additional 71 acres to Poverty Bay Park is currently
trail use to meet the City's level ot service standard today, and an
additional 15 acres above and beyond that to meet future needs in undeveloped, but has the potential to be
an open space with shoreline access and
2012. nature trails.
Many communities use the acreage calculation for trails because it is
the most straightforward approach given the data available and it is
consistent with calculations tor other park category. The area level of
service calculation for trails does not address the function or distance
of the trail. Also, trail corridor wid.ths vary, thus creating vastly different
acreages/mile calculations. The City's trail standard for trail length is
0.2 miles of trail/1 000 population. Based on that standard, the City
has a deficiency of trails in the community. There are a total of 5.8
miles of trail measured in the City and PAA, or 0.06 miles (317 ft)
per 1000 population (including trails in West Hylebos Wetlands Park ~".
and Panther Lake Open Space). However, this calculation is not an English Gardens Park offers a walking
trail that connects the West Campus

CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND'RECOMMENDATIONS
accurate portrayal of the trail system in the City and is misleading
because there are a number of trails within parks and open spaces
that have not been mapped or measured.
To meet future demand using the current standard, the City would
need to construct an additional 12.6 miles to serve the City's
projected 2012 population and 17.2 miles to serve the future City
and PAA demands. The City needs to complete mapping of the
existing trail system within parks to broaden understanding of the
Alderbrook Park system. Measuring the existing trail distances will make a significant
difference in meeting the City's level of service standards. Once that
effort is accomplished, the City will have a clearer understanding of
the trail resources available within the community and the remaining
deficiencies to meet the level of service standards.
As mentioned above, to meet the needs of the community, the level of
service standards should be layered with more qualitative measures
that address the condition of the trails to ensure that they are safe for
pedestrian and bicycle use, and that they are effectively connecting
destinations and adequately signed. For urban trails (paved
surfaces) it is important that the trails are ADA accessible and clear of
obstructions. Nature trail areas must also be periodically assessed to
ensure that the trail surface is in good condition, free of obstructions,
and that they are ADA accessible wherever possible.
System-wide level of service
In 2006, there are a total of 1068 acres of City-owned park and open
space land within the City of Federal Way including roughly 524 acres
in developed parks and 544 acres in undeveloped open space. If
Dash Point State Park is included in the calculation for total acreage
then there are 1465 acres of park and open space within the City. If
the available parks within the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) are
included in those calculations, a total of 1613 acres of park and open
space are located within the City and P AA (1090 acres in developed
parks/573 acres in open space). This includes City, State, and County
park facilities.
The City's level of service standard for total park land is 10.9
acres/1000 population. The current service level for the City is 16.9
acres/1000 population, for the County and PAA together, the current
62 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY ~_~L\

CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
service level is 14.9 acres/1 000 population. What this means is that
system-wide, the City has an adequate amount of park land to serve
both the current and future projected population for both the City and
PAA. However, much of this acreage is raw land in unprogrammed/
undeveloped open space. The bulk of the deficiencies is in improved
trails.
PARK SPECIFIC ANAL YSIS
Appendix A includes individual analyses for each of the major parks
and open spaces in the system. The park inventory sheets summarize
the park's character and context, specific issues to be addressed, park
potential. and near term and long term needs. Evaluation matrices
for each facility type (Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Open
Spaces) can be found in Appendix C) These tables includes the
evaluation criteria developed to help assess the constraints and
opportunities of each park.
Plan Recommendations
The following recommendations have been developed based on
the findings of the needs assessment and the consistent themes
that emerged from the public outreach process. The recommended
actions inform policy direction and project prioritization. The
recommendations are organized according to the five 'core values'
that came out of the planning process. These 'core values' are fully
explained in Chapter 1 .
System-Wide Recommended Actions
The most important and cost effective actions the City can undertake
to address the health and longevity of the system is to:
· Focus on strategic improvements within existing parks and
open spaces that enhance the quality of the park experience;
· Identify methods that activate and enliven the spaces to make
them more inviting usable, and safe.
· Provide for a range of recreational opportunities at each
park to satisfy community demands for all age groups and
backgrounds.

CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND' RECOMMENDATIONS
Core Value 1: IMPROVE EXISTING FACILITIES &
PROVIDE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS IN PARKS
Improving existing facilities and providing multiple functions in parks
so that parks address different interests, and can provide 'one stop'
recreating, is the highest priority for the community based on public
feedback. This core value is supported by the following points:
· According to the City's 2006 parks survey, when asked how
the City should prioritize future projects, respondents indicated
that doing improvements to existing facilities was the number
one priority.
· National recreation trend points to the fact that people desire
quality over quantity with service, programs, and facilities.
This trend is also reflected at the local level based on input
from residents during the public outreach process.
· The City's parks and open space network is extensive
and includes a variety of spaces and activities. This
system is a key asset to the Federal Way community because
it not only provides low cost access to recreational
opportunities, but the parks and open spaces in the system
help to define the community's image, culture, and community
character. Parks and open spaces also provide opportunities
for social interaction, and enhance community quality of life.
· Since incorporation, the City has done an effective job at
improving its community parks and neighborhood parks. The
City has also made great strides in developing new facilities,
such as the Community Center and new neighborhood parks
like Madrona and Alderdale Parks. Thus, acquisition of more
parks is not the current priority.
· For the community parks, some of the athletic fields are not
operating at maximum efficiency due to poor drainage,
inadequate lighting, and/or irregularly sized fields. Continue
to master plan and improve facilities and balance both the
active and passive recreation uses at these parks to provide
multi-generational use and enjoyment.
· From an area calculation perspective, the level of service
analysis indicates that the City is already close to meeting
future projected demand for parks and recreation. Some

areas.
Below are specific recommended actions that address improvement of
existing facilities and providing multiple functions in parks. The actions
are organized by park type.
Community Parks
Each of the community parks were evaluated to determine the
potential of each park. Table C.1 in Appendix C summarizes the
constraints and potential of each Community Park. Celebration Park
To meet active recreation demand, the first priority should be to bring
the athletic fields up to standards to meet demand. This would include
addressing drainage, regulation sized fields, installation of artificial
turf to extend the playing season, and lighting to allow for play during
the evenings and winter months. Other recommended community
park improvements are meant to address the image and identity of the
parks, to help them be more visible to the public as civic/community
destinations, and to make them welcoming and inviting places.
SPECIFIC ACTIONS INCLUDE:
. Implement the Park Master Plans for Lakota and Sacajawea
Parks developed in 2006, which address both active and
passive recreation uses at each park.
. Develop a Master Plan to upgrade athletic facilities and
passive recreation areas at Steel Lake Park.
. Develop a facilities improvement plan to address the athletic
fields at Saghalie Park.
. At Saghalie Park, install park identity and street frontage
improvements along SW Campus Dr. This would include
streetscape improvements, enhanced pedestrian entrances,
park identity signs, and other treatments as appropriate.
. Develop a phasing plan for converting some existing grass
soccer fields in community parks to artificial turf.
PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT ~-~l APRIL 21, 2006 I 65
CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
If after improvements have been made to existing facilities and
demand has not been satisfied, the City should then explore other
options, focused on improvements on other public lands that do not
require further property acquisition. Specific actions could include:
. Explore partnerships with Federal Way Public Schools to
identify opportunities for active recreation improvements at
IIIahee Middle School. Most of the existing community parks
are located adjacent to schools. Of all the middle schools
within City limits, IIlahee is the only one that is not located near
a community park. The school district owns additional lands
adjacent to the school. A partnership approach at this location
would provide for cost sharing between the City and School
District and would help to satisfy the needs of the community
as well as the student body.
. If and when areas within the Potential Annexation Area (PAA)
are annexed, the Department should develop a phasing plan
to update the community parks located within the PAA. There
are currently three community parks in the PAA with active
recreation facilities: Five Mile Park, Lake Geneva Park, and
South County Ball fields. This phasing plan would be based
on need and opportunity, negotiated conditions of transfer from
King County, available funding, and would address specific
actions that need to occur to bring the fields up to current
standards.
Figure 5.1 visually shows the recommendations described above.
Neighborhood Parks
The City has an extensive system of neighborhood parks. Many of
these parks are underutilized and have untapped potential. Some of
these parks have high potential as neighborhood gathering places,
others will remain as small neighborhood parks where general upkeep
and improvements should occur over time. Other neighborhood parks
can realize potential based on their location as part of a larger trail
and sidewalk network in the City. The greatest opportunity in many
of these neighborhood parks is to design improvements that help to
activate or enliven the spaces. Recommendations for neighborhood
parks are both general and specific to different neighborhood park
types. For the purposes of this analysis and the recommendations,
neighborhood parks were divided into the following four subcategories.

CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
. Neighborhood Gathering Places
. Special Use Parks
. Passive Neighborhood Parks
. Neighborhood Trail Nodes
GENERAL NEIGHBORHOOD PARK RECOMMENDA nONS
INCLUDE:
. Improve parks according to their unique potential and context
within the system.
. Prioritize park improvements to make them more usable,
inviting, and minimize impacts to local neighbors.
. Phase improvements with high priority placed on those
parks that have potential as neighborhood gathering places,
especially in areas close to multi-family housing.
. Cultivate "community ownership" of parks through
neighborhood stewardship, neighborhood work sessions and
open houses, adopt-a-park programs, and community gardens.
. Develop a phased improvement plan for each of the
neighborhood parks to address:
0 Installation of durable materials;
() Safety/visibility concerns;
0 Street presence;
0 Natural drainage;
c Invasive species management and
0 Low-impact (sustainable) design and maintenance
practices such as use of drought-resistant native plants,
integrated pest management, natural drainage, etc.
NEIGHBORHOOD PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Specific actions for each of the neighborhood parks will be based on
the neighborhood park potential and the specific neighborhood park
subcategories identified above. Each of the neighborhood parks
were evaluated based on criteria such as visible park entries, access,
sense of place, surrounding land use, etc. Table C.2 in Appendix C
summarizes the potential of each neighborhood park.
NEIGHBORHOOD GA THERING PLACES
These are neighborhood parks that have unique features or assets
that could be capitalized upon further. These parks have features
68 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY ~-~U
PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN
CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
such as: off-street parking, trails, large open areas. multi-use potential,
presence of special features, and are located on a minor collector or ,
arterial. Parks with the potential to be neighborhood gathering places
include:
. Adelaide
. Alderdale
. Alderbrook
. Coronado
. French Lake
. Mirror Lake
. Palisades
. Thompson (to be constructed in 2006).
Working with local neighbors, the City should develop improvements
for each of these parks based on their unique potential and community
desires. This process would be designed to identify specific Lake Kilarney
improvements that would help to activate the parks.
SPECIAL USE PARKS
Through the neighborhood public outreach process, identify the
potential for 'special use' park features such as a splash fountain, mini
amphitheater, skate park, dog park, wildlife sanctuaries, etc that would
be unique to the park. Additional improvements at these parks would
focus on improving the safety and security of the park, enhancing
the street appeal at park entries, or adding site amenities such as
picnic tables, picnic shelters, and barbeque pits. Dumas Bay Park
and Lake Killarney Park are two examples of neighborhood parks that
do not function as typical neighborhood parks due to their location,
and relatively natural states. These two parks may better function as
sanctuaries while maintaining parking and other basic site amenities
such as benches, trails, and interpretive signage. The SW 312th St
Courts are another example of a special use park.
PASSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
These are some of the small neighborhood parks that have limited
access, are tucked away on local residential streets, are often
completely surrounded by single family residential homes, have low
usage currently, and have limited or no parking. Passive neighborhood
parks include:
. Dash Point Highlands Park
PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 69
f\-11
-------- -------
CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
. Heritage Woods Park
. Lake Grove Park
. Wildwood Park
. Wedgewood Park
Recommended actions at passive neighborhood/local use parks focus
on small upgrades to increase the function and safety of the park, and
to help activate them. This could include actions such as upgrading
play equipment and site furnishings as needed.
Dash Point Highlands Park
NEIGHBORHOOD TRAIL NODES
There are several neighborhood parks within the system that have
the potential to connect to a larger system of trails and non-motorized
improvements in the City. These are parks that are located near other
open space areas and the City's existing trail network. Improvements
at these parks will help to link together routes between community
destinations such as schools, community facilities, parks, multifamily
housing, and create longer trail segments and loops in the system.
Parks with the potential as neighborhood trail nodes include:
. Alderbrook Park
. English Gardens Park
. Olympic View Park
. Madrona Park
Both Alderbrook Park and English Gardens Park have the potential to
connect with the BPA Trail, West Campus Open Space, and Panther
Lake Open Space. Linking these parks to the larger network of trails
in the central part of the City will make significant strides in developing
an interconnected system of trails and sidewalks connecting
community destinations and landmarks.
Olympic View Park, adjacent to Woodbridge Park Open Space, is
another park with potential to extend the City's trail network. Long
term, a trail linking Woodbridge Park Open Space, Olympic View Park,
Lochaven Open Space, and Poverty Bay Open Space would provide
a trail network on the west side of the City. Madrona Park, a recently
developed neighborhood park, is already connected to the BPA Trail.
This park links the south part of the city to the BPA Trail, Panther Lake
Open Space, and Celebration Park.
Specific recommended actions for neighborhood trail node parks
focus on trail installation or improvements, identity signs, a wayfinding
system, and trailhead improvements.

CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
PARK ACT/VA nON
Park activation recommendations are two fold. The first step is to
enhance safety and visibility into the parks to encourage increased
use. The second is programmatic, in terms of supporting activities
in parks that help to activate the spaces. The key improvement for
every neighborhood park is to increase the visibility of the park from
the street-both in terms of safety and security to park users as well
as making sure that the parks are readily identifiable as parks. This
means integrating Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
(CPTED) principles, improving the street frontage, facilitating visibility
into the parks, installing identity signs at each park entrance, and other
treatments such as low lying plants, bollards, or low fences to define
the edge of the park.
Beyond physical improvements at neighborhood parks, programmatic
efforts will also help to activate the parks and make them more
usable to the public. This can occur through several potential efforts
including:
. Utilize neighborhood workshop process to help customize
improvements specific to neighborhood needs.
. Encourage 'ownership' of neighborhood parks from:
0 Neighborhood residents/homeowner association
stewardship;
0 Partner with local service clubs and organizations such
as the Rainier Audubon Society, Master Gardeners,
Korean Seniors Association, service clubs and schools
in an adopt a park program;
0 School curriculum regarding physical activity and the
natural environment;
0 Reinstating the City's small and simple grant program
for neighborhood initiated park improvements;
. Volunteer work parties associated with Earth Day, Day of
Caring, Clean Sweep, etc.
. Working with Federal Way businesses, develop a corporate
sponsorship/volunteer program to organize employees into
volunteer work teams for specific projects and activities.
. Encourage cultural and special events to take place in the
parks.
. Consider quarterly or annual events such as summer movies in
the park.

Maintenance Program
An essential component of implementing the intent of Core Value #1 is
to ensure that the existing park facilities are well maintained and that
improvements are made on an ongoing basis. Proper maintenance
and renovation of parks and replacement of outdated equipment
will prevent and/or correct potentially hazardous conditions. This
protects the public as well as reduces liability to the City. An ongoing
maintenance program also helps to improve the image and identity of
The "big red mower" helps in maintaining the park system by addressing issues like vandalism and graffiti.
the City's many sports fields and grassy
areas. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
The City should develop a systematic annual maintenance plan/
work program that helps to address ongoing maintenance tasks and
prioritize staff hours. A maintenance program addresses:
. Phased installation of durable materials;
. Landscape maintenance activities;
. Invasive species management program;
. Where feasible incorporate natural drainage systems and
low impact design and maintenance practices.
Core Value 2: CREATE COMMUNITY GATHERING
PLACES AND DESTINATIONS
Recent community input placed an emphasis on community gathering
places in the City, particularly for the City Center. Analysis shows the
following to be true:
· The City's parks are places where the community
recreates and socially interacts. Community parks, such
as Celebration Park and Steel Lake Park currently serve the
function as community gathering places for outdoor special
events and community functions like the Red, White and Blues
Festival and summer concerts.
· The new Community Center will serve as a gathering
place year round and is envisioned to be the 'heart' of the
community.
· The public has indicated a desire for more places witllin the
City where people can informally gather like small downtown

· In addition, some of the City's neighborhood parks also have
the potential for becoming neighborhood gathering places for
local residents. This would also help to activate the parks and
encourage increased use.

. After the one-year trial period for the temporary off-leash
area at French Lake Park (August 2006), an assessment of
its suitability as an off-leash area should be conducted. In
addition, identify other park sites that may have the potential
for an off-leash dog park area. Potential locations include:
BPA Trail right-of-way, Spring Valley, Adelaide (horse arena)
and potentially other sites to explore through the public
process.
. Activate and increase use of the BPA trail. Consider engaging
groups in beautification and landscaping efforts such as adopt-
a-tree and/or siting of special uses such as off-leash areas,
p-patches, etc where feasible.
· Develop a more effective marketing strategy for Dumas Bay

Figures 5.1 and 5.2 visually show the community parks/facilities
and neighborhood parks, respectively, that could function more as
gathering places and destinations.
Core Value 3: RETAIN AND IMPROVE NATURAL
OPEN SPACES
The City's extensive open space system provides a variety of outdoor
settings to access nature close to home. The following points were
derived from public input and analysis of open space trends both
locally and state-wide:
· Open spaces and natural areas help define Federal Way's
character.
· Many people use parks for their natural and scenic qualities
and to 'get away' from urban life. In the region and the state,
access to natural areas is important to our quality of life. In
fact, walking/hiking in nature is one of the more popular
recreation activities in the state.
· The open space types in the City have varying constraints and
potential. Some open spaces are small parcels of land
with limited ecological or recreational function. Others are
quite large and include a wealth of natural and cultural features
unique to Federal Way, such as the West Hylebos Wetlands
Park.
· The needs assessment indicates that the City currently has an
adequate supply of open space.
· The key to an effective management strategy is to determine
the potential of each open space as habitat first, and then for
appropriate level of public access and future recreational
opportunities. The larger open spaces were evaluated using
criteria such as the presence of environmental constraints,
habitat value and function, accessibility, the potential for
public access/trails, and other criteria as shown. Open
space characteristics and qualities are summarized in Table
C.3 in Appendix C. Sasedon that analysis, there are
essentially four types of open spaces in the City:

CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
'"
1 ) Open spaces with habitat and ecological function that
have the potential for enhanced public access and
education.
2) Open spaces that provide shoreline access.
3) "Breathing Room" open spaces. These are
undeveloped areas with environmental constraints that
may offer limited public access, but serve a function
by protecting sensitive areas and providing green
space in the City.
4) Open spaces that have the potential to become
developed parks to meet future recreation demand.
Recommended Actions
OVERALL OPEN SPACE SYSTEM
. Develop an Open Space Management Program that:
0 Identifies critical areas and wildlife habitat potential
0 Addresses invasive species and plant management
0 Integrates low impact. sustainable maintenance
practices.
. Evaluate each of the open spaces in greater detail to
determine the potential for highest and best use of the
property. Some of these lands are located in the south part of
the City, or near areas that are currently underserved by parks.
These individual parks should be evaluated to determine their
potential as future developed parks. In addition, there are
some properties that do not add significant value to the open
space system. The City should evaluate whether any of these
lands should be surplused to provide funding toward other
park/open space enhancements;
. Construct low impact trails where safe and feasible to enhance
public access to open spaces;
HABlTA T VALUE/ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION
The City's larger open spaces offer the most opportunities for public
use and have the greatest potential habitat value and ecological
function in the City. These include:
. Panther Lake
. Spring Valley
. Poverty Bay
. West Hylebos Wetlands Park
. Fishers Pond

SHORELINE ACCESS
Although the City is situated on the Puget Sound, there is limited
public shoreline access due to private ownership of much of the
shoreline. Parks and open spaces with public shoreline access
include:
. Dumas Bay Centre
. Dumas Bay Park
. Poverty Bay
. Dash Point State Park (not owned by City)
. Camp Kilworth (once added to system)
Topography also influences shoreline access in the City. Both Poverty
Bay and Dumas Bay Centre are located on a bluff overlooking Puget
Sound. Recommendations include:
. Enhance public shoreline access opportunities at Poverty Bay
and Dumas Bay Centre.
. Explore additional shoreline access at small shoreline open
spaces located at unopened street ends.
. Explore the potential for a Washington Water Association
trail (for kayaks, canoes, and other non-motorized watercraft)
connecting Federal Way parks along the shoreline, and

potentially connecting to a larger regional system to waterfront
parks in Des Moines and Tacor}1a.
. Restore and protect eroded shoreline areas.
BREA THING ROOM OPEN SPACES
Many of the linear open spaces in the City, or greenbelts, have
environmentally sensitive areas such as steep slopes or creeks that
may limit future improvements. These 'breathing room' open spaces,
such as Lochhaven Open Space or Woodbridge Park Open Space,
are important to the open space system because they not only
protect these sensitive areas from development, but they provide the
opportunity to provide trail connections to other parks and community
~. destinations. Public access (i.e. trails) should be encouraged where
safe, feasible, and not destructive to high quality habitat or critical
areas.
In addition, there is an opportunity for private open space, which serve
ecological and 'breathing room' open space functions, should also
be explored through incentive based programs such as conservation
easements.
Core Value 3: DEVELOP A WALKING AND BIKING
COMMUNITY THROUGH AN INTEGRATED TRAIL
AND SIDEWALK NETWORK
This core value is about connecting community destinations and
Panther Lake linking them in ways that encourage people to exercise and recreate.
The following points emerged from the planning process and analysis:
· Walking is consistently the number one recreational activity
people participate in, and this trend is on the rise.
· The needs assessment shows the city has a deficiency of
trails. Sidewalks are also limited in the City.
· Providing safe places for pedestrian movement is an important
aspect of encouraging people to walk.
· To be a vibrant, healthy city, community destinations and
landmarks should be connected via an integrated system of
sidewalks and trails.
· The SPA Trail is one of the most heavily used recreation
facilities in the City; however some residents complained that

the BPA Trail does not go anywhere. Most users drive to the
trail, park, walk for a while and then turn around and go back to
their cars.
· People often choose parks when they are accessible to
walking, bicycling, or transit routes, or because they have
adequate parking.
· Expanding the trail system is a high priority for the community,
particularly routes that 'go some place' and connect major City
destinations.
-,.__.. --- · It is unreasonable to expect that the City has the funding to

on strategic connections utilizing both the existing and planned
sidewalk system with existing and new trails in parks.
Figure 5.4 conceptually depicts some potential walking and biking
routes in the City.
Recommended Actions:
. Prioritize sidewalk and trail improvements in areas near
schools, community facilities. retail areas, and multi-family
residential (where a higher concentration of people live).
. Utilize the existing and planned sidewalk network to facilitate
connections between parks and trail routes.
. Connect Celebration Park to Steel Lake Park through a

CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
. Develop a comprehensive walking program such as a "Walk
Federal Way' campaign to promote physical activity, develop
community ownership, and walking identity in the City. The
Walk Federal Way campaign could include an array of
activities, programs, and events including:
0 Walking events;
0 The development of neighborhood 'walking maps'.
These walking maps could highlight key community
features and landmarks along each route, identify
distances and level of difficulty, and could highlight
public amenities along the way;
0 Develop a greater awareness of the walking routes
and trails through a system-wide wayfinding signage
program that identifies routes, distances, and
pedestrian orientation maps;
0 Engage walking groups such as Volksmarch, etc.
Core Value 5: PROVIDE A BALANCE OF
FACILITIES & SERVICES FOR A DIVERSE
POPULATION
As evidenced in demographic trends, the City's population is
diversifying. Understanding the makeup of the Federal Way
community is important so that the City is providing programs and
services that meet all residents' needs and interests. To be effective,
recreation programming must adapt and respond to changing
community interests and activities. The City must continue to be
pro-active in monitoring local and national trends to ensure all ages,
abilities and backgrounds are being served.
Recommended Actions
RECREA nON PROGRAMS
Through the public process, both teen programs and senior programs
were ranked as important to the community. There is an identified
need, both in terms of trends and anecdotal evidence, for a wider
range of senior programs that provide active recreation opportunities
82 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN l'A - ) C)~

----
CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
for seniors, especially given that the baby boomers will reach senior
status within the planning horizon of this Plan. In addition, teen
programming was identified as important to the community, though it is
unclear whether people desire more programs for teens or are simply
looking for things for teens to do.
. Develop a more detailed analysis of senior and teen
programming needs.
. The City should evaluate the need for structured teen
programs. Consider using the Youth Commission to do a Teen
Assessment to understand what teens need and want.
. The City should Balance the development of passive and
active recreation opportunities.
As previously identified, Federal Way is becoming increasingly
diverse. Yet it is unclear what that means from a recreation
programming perspective. Part of the challenge is engaging these
groups to understand their needs. Anecdotal evidence points to a
need for unprogrammed recreation facilities (such as soccer fields and
basketball courts).
. The City should delve further into the needs of minority
populations in the City, particularly because the City will
continue to see more diversity in its population.
. The City should look for opportunities to tie cultural
programming to special events and cultural celebrations/
holidays in the community.
. The City should consider incorporating other languages such
as Spanish and Korean in its outreach materials and/or park
signage.
INCLUSIVE RECREA nON
The City should do an assessment of its facilities and programs to
assure that it is fully accommodating the needs of those residents with
disabilities.
COORDINA TlON WITH OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS
. Since the City's focus with recreation programming has been
on filling in the gaps in services others provide, Department
staff should continue to partner and coordinate with other
recreation service providers in the community to regularly
assess how well community recreation needs are being met
and to be responsive in addressing gaps and deficiencies in
PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 83
\=\ -I D~

CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
service. This will ensure the City is providing programs
which are complimentary to other recreation providers in
the community and are not duplicating services.
RECREA nON PROGRAMMING SPACE
. Ensure there is adequate 'flexible' program space
(classrooms/multipurpose rooms) to accommodate a
range of programs. This allows the City to respond to
trends and provide new classes and programs without the
need to build new facilities.
. There is a need for additional arts/visual media spaces
that would support popular arts/visual media classes.
These types of spaces are not addressed in the new
Community Center. The best location for these facilities
is at the Dumas Bay Centre. A facility master plan for the
Centre would help to evaluate the potential for additional
arts/visual media classrooms.
ARTS AND CUL TURAL PLAN
. Update the City's Arts and Culture Plan, in association
with the Arts Commission, to address the arts and
cultural programming in the City. This plan would also
address residents' needs, and ways of bringing diverse
communities together.

more of the City's parks and open spaces may be enhanced to better
serve this role by incorporating a certain baseline of characteristics
such as having multi-use functions, being safe and comfortable for
the public's use, and spaces that can accommodate a range of crowd
sizes. Creating community gathering places is especially important as
the City Center area develops. Furthermore, ensuring that the trail and
non-motorized improvements connect popular destinations in the City
will encourage increased use of these facilities.
I. City Center/High Density Areas
Intent: The City Center will dramatically transform over the next
twenty years, As redevelopment occurs, there is an opportunity to
activate the City Center through a network of public spaces such as
green areas, informal plazas, and wide sidewalks.
Goal 1.1 : Integrate a system of open spaces, plazas,
and walkways throughout the City Center and other
high density areas to make the area livable, host
community events, and create community identity.
Policy 1.1: Actively develop a plan for community gathering places in
the City Center.
Policy 1.2: Work with Community Development Services Department
to develop development standards for the City Center and other higher
density neighborhoods that result in spaces being set aside for parks
and plazas.
Policy 1.3: Establish mini-parks/gardens in multi-family areas and
areas underserved by park facilities.
J. Neighborhood Gathering Places
Goal J.1: Establish neighborhood gathering places
in neighborhood parks (where appropriate) where
neighbors can meet, hold small-scale events, and
establish and strengthen neighborhood identity.

areas, plazas, community gardens, or skate parks to accommodate
anticipated levels of use while minimizing impacts to surrounding
neighbors.
Policy K.2: Site a permanent dog park in the community after the
initial one-year trial period at French Lake Park expires (August 2006).
Core Value #3: Retain and Improve Our
Open Spaces
Intent: Open spaces are valuable to the community because they
provide connections to a natural setting, habitat, improved air and
water quality, and educational opportunities: The City's open spaces
include wooded areas, ravines, wetlands, and shoreline environments.
Many of these open spaces contain trails and other opportunities to
experience nature close to home. These open spaces help to define
Federal Way's character. Protecting these natural systems is critical
to preseNing the quality of life in the community and providing public
access to open spaces. The following goals and policies address the
protection of these open spaces, encourage low impact public access
where feasible, and the use of these spaces as "learning landscapes."

ADELAIDE PARK
Park Character & Context
Adelaide is a mostly wooded neighborhood park located adjacent to
Adelaide Elementary School. The park's main entrance is at the large,
east end of the property, on 16th Avenue SW and a smaller entrance is
on 21 sl Avenue SW. A paved trail links the two entries, passing through
a narrow, wooded section between houses, then through a picnic area
set in a grassy opening in the woods. The trail also forms a side loop
that connects a horse arena, tennis court and play area near the east
park entry. The majority of the site is level. Partial sidewalks are located
along the eastern side of the park along 16th Ave SW.
Park Issues
· Moderate visibility into the park due to wooded condition.
· The existing tennis court is underutilized due to low visibility and
shady areas.
· The horse arena in the rear of the site is underutilized and is no
longer maintained for equestrian use.
· The park could benefit from 'opening up' the site by selectively
thinning the tree cover to let additional sunlight into the park near
the play structure and site furnishings as well as along the 16th
Ave SW frontage.
Park Potential
Adelaide Park serves a residential neighborhood in the north central
part of the City. Park improvements, including picnic area, playground,
and tennis court, and horse arena were added in 19XX, based on local
neighborhood input. The underutilized horse arena should be evaluated
to determine if this use should be maintained or evolve to another use.
Other potential uses could include an off leash area for small dogs.
Needs
Near-Term
· Park identity signs; add a new park sign at the 21 st St entrance
· Provide additional trash receptacles
· Invasive species management-blackberry, moles
· Graffiti removal-picnic tables, bull rail
· Repair trail surface
· Evaluate use of horse arena / Consider redevelopment as off-
leash dog area for small dogs or small agility course
Long Term
· Improve accessibility to play structure

ALDERBROOK PARK
Park Character & Context
Alderbrook Park is comprised of three separate park areas, two of which
are relatively undeveloped. The park is located immediately west and
southwest of Silverlake Elementary School. The primary park entrance
and facilities are located along the south side of SE 325th PI. This area
contains play equipment and a large, informal lawn area. A series of
wellanu::i are luc.;aleu within each of the three park areas. The three
park areas are connected by an eight-foot, paved asphalt path. The
path itself is situated in a wooded setting along the periphery of the park,
and in some locations the path runs along the edge of the wetlands. The
path connects to English Gardens Park to the south. There are multiple
pedestrian access points to each of the three park areas from the
surrounding single family residential subdivisions.
Park Issues
· The trail connecting each of the three park areas crosses SW
325th PI. An improved pedestrian crossing at this location would
help to facilitate safe pedestrian movement.
· No off-street parking; although parking is available at Silverlake
Elementary School.
· Multiple park entries, most do not have park identification signs.
· Park is surrounded by single-family residential. Future park
improvements must be sensitive to adjacent neighbors.
Park Potential
· Evaluate park for potential 'community gathering place'
improvements.
· Trail/sidewalk improvements to connect the trail system within
this park to link to trails within English Gardens Park, Panther
Lake Open Space and the SPA trail system.
Needs
Near Term
· Park identity signs
Long Term
· Park specific improvements based on the park's unique potential
based on public outreach process.
· Connect Alderbrook Park trail to the trails within English Gardens
Park, Panther Lake, and the SPA trail.
· Enhanced pedestrian/trail wayfinding signage or park map/kiosk
to orient park visitors to amenities and trails.

ALDERDALE PARK
Park Character & Context
Alderdale Park is a recently constructed neighborhood park that is in
fairly good condition. It is a well-designed small park with a playground,
basketball and tennis courts, a short loop trail, and site furnishings that
include picnic tables and benches. The site is fairly flat, with some short,
steep slopes toward the back or north side of the site. There is an open
lawn area in the middle of the park, with formal landscaping beds along
the east and west edges of the park. A basketball and tennis court are
located at the rear of the park. Vehicular and pedestrian access is from
S 340th Place, a minor collector street.
Park Issues
· Lack of visibility to the basketball and tennis courts from the
street.
· Evidence of drainage and erosion problems near the basketball
and tennis courts.
· A rolled curb along the street allows vehicles to drive onto the
lawn.
Park Potential
Alderdale is an appealing neighborhood park, in good condition. This
parks has the potential to serve as a "neighborhood gathering place".
This might be accomplished at first through some programming efforts,
such as neighborhood picnics or events. The area residents could be
involved to develop ideas for additional features which might strengthen
its draw.
Needs
Near Term
· Address drainage/erosion problems near tennis and basketball
courts.
· Graffiti removal
· Invasive species management
· Clarify property boundary and landscape maintenance
responsibilities
· Replace missing landscaping-this will screen fence which has
repeated graffiti problems.
· Repair or replace older benches and picnic tables
· Working with local neighbors, identify potential neighborhood
event in park.
Long Term Needs
· Neighborhood outreach process to identify potentials for
neighborhood gathering place (if desired by neighborhood)
· Improve ADA accessibility to play structure.

SPA TRAIL
Park Character & Context
The BPA Trail is one of the more heavily used recreation facilities in
the City. The paved trail measures 3.34 miles in length and connects
Celebration Park to Madrona Park, and also connects with West
Campus Trail. The BPA trail has a rolling topography and occasional
views to Mt. Rainier.
Park Issues
· Extensive invasive species such as Scotch Broom and
Blackberry.
· Except where the trail intersects with major arterials, there is
limited visibility into portions of the BPA right-of-way.
· Safe pedestrian crossings where the trail crosses major arterials.
Park Potential
The BPA Trail right-of-way includes a large area, yet only the trail is
currently usable recreation space. Additional uses that can help to
activate the right-of-way should be explored in greater detail, such,as
the siting for a potential dog park, BMX track, community gardens, etc.
Given the high use of the trail, the BPA trail also has the opportunity to
tap into community volunteer/stewardship to clean up and maintain the
BPA right-of-way.
Needs
Near Term
· Explore other uses for the right-of-way that can help to activate
the space
Long Term Needs
· Phase V BPA Trail to extend trail to southern City limits in
coordination with Pierce County park planning efforts.

CELEBRATION PARK
Park Character & Context
Celebration Park is the largest community park in the City. It includes regionally
known sports facilities, natural areas with wetlands and an unpaved trail system.
The new Community Center is under construction on the south 10 acres of
the property, and will be completed in 2006 and open to the public in 2007.
Residential uses are located north of the park, office parks to the south and west
of the park, and commercial businesses to the east. The park is located in close
proximity to local bus routes. Vehicular access to the park is available from a
number of points along 9th Ave S, Park Rd, and 13th PI S near the intersection
with S. 324th Street. Off-street parking is located along the street frontage.
Good pedestrian access to the park is available from the surrounding residential
neighborhood and adjacent office parks via sidewalks and the SPA Trail. The
park is highly visible from Park Road/13th PI. S.
Park Issues
· Further expansion of developed areas is limited by the presence
of an extensive wetlands system. Mitigation for impacts associated
with the Community Center construction resulted in 3.5 acres of
wooded areas being permanently maintained as a natural growth
protection area.
· Existing grass soccer fields have drainage related issues that
limit year round play.
Park Potential
· As the premier park in the City's system, the objective for this
park is to maintain the high level of amenity and general
~ upkeep on facilities to keep the park fresh and attractive to
sports leagues and competitions, which come from all over the
state to compete.
Needs
Near Term
. Water fountains with potable water/water bottle filler
. Fencing and asphalt drive for new maintenance building
. Artificial turf for Soccer Fields 5 & 6
. Replace platings along Park Road disturbed by Community
Center construction
Long Term
· Install electrical power around perimeter of fields
· Resurface asphalt parking lot and pedestrian areas
· Refresh soft trail surfaces
· Exercise stations for stretching
· Tree replacements
· Artificial turf for softball/baseball infields (1 - 4) and soccer fields
(7 & 8 goal mouths)
· Concession stand improvements
· Play feature for older kids

CORONADO PARK
Park Character & Context
Coronado is a small neighborhood park, tucked between two homes on
a residential street. Neighborhood residents brought some concerns
about safety and the condition of some of the facilities to the City and
the park has received some repair and replacement efforts over the
past couple of years. This included adding some low landscaping along
the street, removing some overgrown shrubs and an old bike rack, and
replacing play equipment and a water fountain. Views of the Cascade
Mountains and the BPA transmission lines are visible from the street in
front of the park. Coronado Park is located off of SW 348th Place. The
park includes a play structure, basketball court, walking path/trail, an
informal lawn area, and some site furnishings. The park is surrounded
by single family residential to the east and west and undeveloped land
immediately north and south of the park.
Park Issues
· Play structure is out of date
· Some of the park is tucked away from view and may limit future
development potential
Park Potential
· Potential for neighborhood gathering place
· A long, narrow segment of lawn runs behind several houses, and
serves as the connecting link to the southern entrance. This lawn
might be suitable for another use, but since some of the lawn has
very low visibility, and is in such close proximity to homes, this
may limit what can be accomplished.
Needs
Near Term
· New park signage
· Repair or replace several benches and picnic tables
· Working with local neighbors, identify potential neighborhood
event in park.
· Continue landscape improvements
- Determine property line/screen adjacent decaying fence
- Buffer between playground and street
- Replace plant material in poor condition
Long Term
· Neighborhood outreach process to identify potentials for
neighborhood gathering place (if desired by neighborhood)
· Improve ADA accessibility to play structure.
· Consider new use or site improvements for open grassy areas

DASH POINT HIGHLANDS PARK
Park Character & Context
Dash Point Highlands is directly south of Dash Point State Park, which creates a
heavily wooded backdrop to the park site. Southwest 324th Place serves as the
only access to the site. The park's trail connects to Dash Point State Park trail
system. The site is relatively level except for the retention pond, and a drainage
swale along the street frontage. Residences abut the park on two sides, but
because of the park's long street frontage it feels open and fairly comfortable. A
small play structure and grassy field are the primary recreational features of the
site. Small children are protected by a chain link fence on the street side of the
playground.
Park Issues
· Sidewalks or paved surfaces are not present at the street or
within the park. The drainage swale near the street creates a barrier for
accessibility
· Play structure is out of date
· Park could benefit from street appeal improvements including
new signage, landscaping, and removal of the chain link fence.
Park Potential
· Dash Point Highlands has good visibility from the street, but its location
deep in the neighborhood, near the City's heavily wooded western limits,
indicates that the park will continue to only serve the local residential
neighborhood population.
· This park's proximity to Dash Point State Park is its biggest asset and it
could serve as a trailhead into the State Park's trail system for
neighborhood residents. It could also be connected to an open space on
SW 325th Way, via trails within the State Park, to create a loop trail.
· The open nature of the park also lends itself to additional development
of recreational facilities
Needs
Near Term
· Upgrade Play Equipment and improve ADA accessibility
· Replace/repair site furnishings
· Identify potential recreation facilities for the park
Long Term
· Trailhead/ trail system into Dash Point State Park
· "Street appeal" measures, such as landscaping, removal of chain link fence
· Pedestrian bridge or other means to cross drainage swale
· Alternative to rolled curb, or landscaping to limit vehicle access onto the
grass
· Forest management-trees overcrowded, no understory
· Better definition of property boundaries/screening for adjacent residences

DUMAS BAY CENTRE PARK
Park Character & Context
Dumas Bay Centre Park is located on the Puget Sound shoreline. The facility
includes Dumas Bay Centre and the Knutsen Family Performing Arts Center, the
primary location for the City's arts and theater recreation programs. Since 1993,
the City of Federal Way has owned and operated Dumas Bay Centre, a full-service
conference and retreat facility. Dumas Bay Centre can accommodate a wide
variety of events including conferences; meetings and banquets; overnight retreats;
weddings, receptions, and other special occasions; and performing arts events.
Guests are able to experience the tranquility and natural beauty of Puget Sound
overlooking the Olympic Mountains while being close to major metropolitan areas.
The City recently completed improvements to the site, including improving site
stormwater detention and installation of new landscaping/gardens. Surrounding
land uses include single family residential, undeveloped land, and Lakehaven
Utility District properties. The park is accessible from Dash Point Road. There are
limited pedestrian facilities.
Park Issues
The building and site at Dumas Bay Centre are facing multiple challenges. The
building was constructed in the 1950s and has serious problems with plumbing,
roof, windows, and other systems. The guest rooms do not have full bathrooms,
and thus do not meet current expectations for overnight accommodations. The
north side of the site is lined with steep bluffs, which have been compromised by
erosion and slope failures. A stairway leading down to the small, sandy beach was
closed in February 2006 due to slope failure caused by heavy winter rains.
Park Potential
· One of the key community destinations for recreation programming and
cultural events.
· Dumas Bay Centre plays a unique role in the City. It is located directly
on Puget Sound waterfront and offers a beautiful setting for events. The
Centre is operated as an enterprise fund, and is therefore responsible
for financially supporting itself. The building includes guest rooms,
four meeting rooms, a theatre, rehearsal hall, and offices. The
basement is used for children's dance and gymnastics classes.
· Provides one of the few public access points to Puget Sound.
Needs
Near Term
· Slope improvements/stabilization
Long Term
· Improve ADA accessibility.
· Facility Master Plan to address building restoration and site
improvements.

DUMAS BAY PARK
Park Character & Context
This 19.3 acre park is located between Southwest Dash Point Road and
Puget Sound. It is the only site with direct trail access to the waterfront
at this time. Facilities at the site include a small parking area, limited
interpretive signs, benches in the woods, and a paved asphalt path to
the shoreline. The park is the location of a former wildlife sanctuary,
designated in ---.2L. The site contains a high degree of ecological
diversity, with forested ravine, 200 feet of sandy beach, a wetland with
bulrush covering half the site, cattails, beach pea and beach grass.
Low-density residential surrounds the park. Vehicle access is from
44th Avenue S, a local, dead-end street with very low traffic volumes.
Pedestrian access is very limited.
Park Issues
· Main access is through a single family residential area.
· The park is difficult to find due to a its lack of visible directional
signage on Dash Point Road, and secluded, wooded location.
· Local resident have voiced complaints regarding garbage and
noise levels associated with loitering in the parking lot.
· Dogs off-leash on the beach has become a problem, as this is
inappropriate for a wildlife sanctuary
Park Potential
· The site was formerly known for the presence of a heron rookery.
It is currently used by owls and migrating songbirds. Other
animal species could be attracted to and supported by the park.
· Interpretive opportunities could be enhanced.
· The sandy beach access is unique (other City shoreline parks
consist of high, steep bluffs) and provides for a potential kayak!
canoe access
Needs
Near Term
· Remove invasive species (ivy, blackberry, knotweed, cattails) and
increase plant diversity
· Add signage: "No dogs off-leash"
· Mow once per year, after July 15, to keep blackberries down,
maintain open quality and sunlight, and discourage undesirable
activities
Long Term
· Open forest by removing some vegetation and cedars. Leave
trees on the ground or make snags out of some of them.
· Plant Sitka spruce in wet spots, including near the beach
· Interpretive signage to describe unique qualities

ENGLISH GARDENS PARK
Park Character & Context
English Gardens Park is a linear park located in the central part of the
City. The park includes gardens, a trail, and a play structure. The park
includes wooded areas and landscaped paths and clearings. The park
has multiple pedestrian access points from the surrounding residential
neighborhood.
Park Issues
· Limited visibility from the street due to linear nature of the park
and surrounding single family residential areas.
· The park is not well known by the community and is mostly used
by the surrounding residences.
· Although street frontages are planted with landscaping and
have a low fence, there are no park identity signs to delineate
park entrances.
Park Potential
The parks greatest potential is its role in linking trails between Alderbrook
Park, BPA Trail, Panther Lake Open Space, and West Campus Open
Space to form a more interconnected system of trails through the area.
Needs
Near Term
· Install park identity signs at park entrances
Long Term
· Develop trail connections to Alderbrook Park and West Campus

FRENCH LAKE PARK
Park Character & Context
The park includes two parcels, one of which is owned by Lakehaven
Utility District. The park contains a mix of wooded areas, grassy
clearings, and ponds. French Lake Park is the site of the City's
temporary off-leash dog park. Since conversion to the off-leash area, the
park is becoming increasingly popular in the City, especially as increased
awareness of its presence in the community grows. The park is located
on 1 st Avenue South and is surrounded by single family to the north and
west, multi-family residential to the east, and a fire station to the south.
Vehicular access and parking is located off of 1 st Avenue South.
Park Issues
· Muddy conditions due to Lakehaven Utility District daily
operations (spraying water onto the open areas). Muddy
conditions are particularly bad near the ponds and near the
entrance to the park.
· The park is not readily identifiable from the street.
Park visibility from 1 st Avenue South is limited. An outdated park
identity sign is obscured from the road.
· There is no buffer between the single family residences
immediately north of the park. A chain link fence currently
separates residences from park activities.
· There is no direct pedestrian access from 1 st Avenue S.
Pedestrians must access the park through the parking lot.
· The dog park was created on a trial-basis. It will be evaluated in
August 2006.
· Lakehaven Utility District may purchase the City's half of the site,
and expand their operations.
Park Potential
· This park is already functioning as a community
destination/gathering place due to the new off-leash dog park
use. Dog park users have formed volunteer work crews to help
maintain the park.
· The park has adequate off-street parking for the dog park use.
· Additional site furnishings and amenities could be provided to
address increased park use such as additional trash cans
distributed throughout the park, benches, and picnic tables.
· After the dog park trial is over, evaluate the effectiveness of
French Lake for that use.
Needs
Near term
· Fix ponds

LAKE GROVE PARK
Park Character & Context
Lake Grove Park is a heavily wooded site with a paved loop trail,
playground, small picnic area and basketball court. It is an attractive
site, but heavy shade over the picnic area and playground may limit their
use much of the year. The park is long and narrow, and only about %
of it is developed. Vehicular access is challenging. One car can park at
the street end on SW 31 Oth Street, though this could block the adjacent
driveway. On SW 308th Street it appears that cars park on the gravel
shoulder on an adjacent property. There are multiple access points from
two sides of the park. Informal trails indicate the approaches that many
users take. Single family residential surrounds the park.
Park Issues
· Low visibility from SW 308th Street.
· Very low visibility from 8th and 10th Avenues SW.
· There are no sidewalks. However, the park is near existing or
proposed bike lanes or shoulders on SW Dash Point Road and
SW 312th St.
· Long, narrow configuration between houses.
· Dense woods and shade
Park Potential
Work with neighborhood residents to identify potential 'community
gathering place' improvements.
Needs,
Near Term
· Provide park signage
- Park name: Replace main sign on 8th Avenue SW, add
small sign on 10th Avenue SW
Directional signage on 10th Avenue SW
· Invasive species management-blackberry and holly
· Graffiti removal-play structure
Long Term
· Address trail buckling caused by tree roots
· Provide parking on-site
· Neighborhood workshop to determine need / desire for additional
development

LAKE KILLARNEY PARK
Park Character & Context
Lake Killarney Park is located east of 1-5, just south of Weyerhaeuser's
Headquarters. The park is also located in a corner of City limits
surrounded by unincorporated King County. The park has a quiet, natural
setting, located on the shore of Lake Killarney. With the exception of
a small clearing, the park is wooded and contains native woodland
species. Single family residential is located to the east, west, and south
and offices are located to the north of the park. Vehicular and pedestrian
access to the park is located at the parking e"ntrance. There are no
sidewalks adjacent to the park; the nearest sidewalks are located along
Weyerhaeuser Way north of the park entrance.
Park Issues
· There are limited improvements at the park.
· The park has low visibility from the street and neighboring
area due to the wooded conditions, the park's location below
street grade, and the park's entrance at a bend in the road where
Weyerhaeuser turns into S 349th St. Low visibility into the
park has contributed to issues with dumping, vandalism and other
illegal activities.
· The parking lot is currently closed to the public due to excessive
problems with dumping and illegal activity.
Park Potential
The park functions more as an open space with passive recreation uses.
Improving the trail surface and opening up the park to view from the
street may help with some of the existing park issues.
Needs
Near term
· Solve parking issues
· Improve pedestrian access from the street
· Improve visibility into park from Weyerhaeuser Way S.
· Enhance view to lake from existing clearing
· Remove invasive plant species
Long Term
· Provide comfortable seating in lake viewing areas
· Create additional seating/gathering areas in the park

LAKOTA PARK
Park Character & Context
This community park is located adjacent to Lakota Middle School. The
park is bordered to the north by Dash Point Road and to the west by
21 st Ave. SW. Main access to the park is at SW 316th St. and Dash
Point Road. The park consists of two distinct'areas: the north part of
the park is relatively flat and open, with steep slopes at the east end of
the site, and is managed by the Parks Department. The south part of
the site is primarily wetland and wetland buffer and was acquired by the
City's Surface Water Utility in 2004. The north part of the site is primarily
oriented towards active recreation uses. Pedestrian access is primarily
from the school and the parking lot northwest of the athletic fields. There
are no sidewalks along the street frontage or paths within the park itself.
Residential properties border the site to the south and southwest. The
Fire District training center is adjacent to the northeast.
Park Issues
· The natural grass fields currently have poor drainage and
turf problems. Play is limited each year due to
soggy conditions.
· Although the park has excellent site visibility, it currently lacks
a strong park identity due to its location adjacent to Lakota Middle
School and low level of development.
· Lack of safe pedestrian access and circulation
· Insufficient parking during events. Overflow parking is located
at the middle school and at the Wayside Church across the street
(which creates dangerous crossings for pedestrians).
The City recently completed a facilities master plan for the site, which
identifies specific improvements to the fields, including addressing the
drainage issues, updating fields to regulation size and upgrading to
artificial turf.
Park Potential
As one of the five community parks with an active recreation emphasis,
the park's utilization by other participants will increase significantly
once the recommended improvements are implemented. The addition
of passive recreation uses at the park will help to broaden its multiple
functions.
Needs
Near term
· Strategy for requests from cell phone and other
telecommunications providers.
Long-Term
· Implement Master Plan recommended improvements (see
Appendix X).

MADRONA PARK
Park Character & Context
Madrona Park is a new park with facilities constructed in 2005. The park
and Phrase IV of the BPA trail follow the BPA transmission lines. The
BPA Trail terminates within the park. The center of the site is largely
wetland and associated buffer and is heavily vegetated with wetland
plant species. The developed portions of the park include a play
structure, BPA trail extension, and site furnishings. Vehicular access to
the park is available from 15th Ave. SW between SW 356th St and SW
362nd St. Pedestrian access is available along SW 356th St and 15th
Ave SW. A pedestrian crossing at SW 356th StlBPA Trail, including
a refuge island, was installed during the BPA Trail extension (Phase
IV). Adjacent land uses surrounding the park are primarily single family
residential. The northern edge of the park is visible from SW 356th St., a
principal arterial.
Park Issues
· As a new park, Madrona Park has low level use at present.
There are no park identity signs at park entrances. Landscaping
along SW 356th St. has helped to increase its character as a
park. Long term use of the park will continue to grow as residents
use the BPA Trail
· Wetlands and utilities on the site limit future development of the
park.
· Any development must be coordinated with BPA, public utilities
(power) and Tacoma (water pipeline #5).
Park Potential
The BPA Trail terminates at this park. Future extension of the trail (BPA
Trail Phase V) has the potential to connect to Pierce County. The
County has long range plans for a trail connection, making it a regional
trail system. Madrona Meadows, a city-owned open space, is also
adjacent to the park on the north side of S 356th St.
Needs
Near-term
· Park identity signs
· Additional landscaping along street frontages and at park entries
· Picnic tables with concrete pads
Long Term
· Extend BPA trail to southern City limits once Pierce County
makes progress on trail development to link the two trail systems
into a larger regional system.
· Manage invasive species (blackberry).

MIRROR LAKE PARK
Park Character & Context
This park contains 3.4 acres of land located off South 315th Avenue.
Facilities at the site include a small playground area and large open'lawn
area. The character of the site is fairly level and partially wooded with
a mixture of understory vegetation. The park has limited access from
adjacent residential areas and is only accessible from two small dead-
end streets.
Park Issues
· Site access
· Site visibility
· Invasive Species
· There are no sidewalks in the vicinity of the park
Park Potential
· This park serves the local neighborhood. The park is tucked
away behind single family residential and is not readily visible
from the street. This park will continue to serve the neighborhood
immediately surrounding it. The park is located near Mirror Lake
Elementary School.
· Thinning some of the tree cover near the play structure may
help to open up the site and allow more sunlight in the play area
and seating.
Needs
Long Term
Working with local neighbors, identify potential for other recreation uses
at the park, particularly the potential of the large open lawn area.

two flat areas at each end of the property. The park abuts a longer open
space site to the south, Woodbridge Park Open Space. Playground
structures and some site furnishings are present on the upland areas at
the north and south ends of the park.
The park is located between 30th Avenue SW and 32nd Avenue SW.
Vehicular access is limited, although about two parking spaces are
present near one of the entries. The park has four pedestrian access
points and neighborhood residents actively use the informal trails
that traverse the open space and park. The neighborhood has few
sidewalks.
Park Issues
· Steep slopes in the ravine limit the accessibility of a trail system.
· Limited visibility of the park entries and its secluded nature limit
the awareness of the presence of this park.
Park Potential
· Olympic View Park is a quiet, secluded park that has the
potential for expanded usability with development of a trail
system that connects to the open space south of the park.
Well-designed entries and improved seating/gathering areas
around the two play areas would attract more users and offer
more possibilities for use.
· High potential for creation of linear park-type trail system through
Olympic View.
Needs
Near term
· Park identity sign at each entry (4)
· Invasive plant species and mole management
· Graffiti removal
· Asphalt path repair
· New trash receptacles and benches
Long Term
· Seating/gathering areas in two upland areas
· Trail system, connecting with open space

PANTHER LAKE OPEN SPACE
Park Character & Context
This 78.72 acre site is located along Southwest Campus Drive. The
open space trail system around Panther Lake connects to the BPA Trail
and West Campus Trail.
Park Potential
Panther Lake Open Space has the potential to be an integral hub in a
system of trails and open space links. It currently serves this function
already by connecting to the BPA Trail and West Campus Trail. Panther
Lake Open Space is connected to Celebration Park and Madrona
Park via the current BPA Trail system. Future improvements could
link Panther Lake to Alderbrook Park to the north and West Hylebos
Wetlands Park to the south.
The open space also has the potential for enhanced public access and
educational opportunities such as interpretive signage. This site is a
popular location for Eagle Scout projects.
Needs
Near Term
· Develop a Master Plan for the Open Space that identifies
enhanced public access opportunities, interpretive features,
invasive species management, and environmental
cons ide ra tio ns/ constrai n ts.
· Enhance trail connections.
· Improve the trail around Panther Lake
· Develop an Eagle ScOut project list.

SACAJAWEA PARK
Park Character & Context
Sacajawea Park is one of the City's five community parks with an
active recreation emphasis. This park has a high level of use for
organized sports and athletic events. Sacajawea Middle School is
located immediately west of the park. Residential and commercial uses
surround the park. Dash Point Road borders the park to the north and
116th Ave S to the east. The primary vehicular access to the park is off
Dash Point Road. Pedestrian access is hazardous due to heavy traffic
and a lack of adequate sidewalks. A signalized pedestrian crossing is
located at 11 th Place S.
There is a large parking area that is shared with the middle school. The
site is laid out on multiple terraces with steep slopes situated between,
and a grade change of 64 feet rising from north to south. The north
portion of the site consists of athletic facilities and the south end is
oriented toward more passive activities. The passive recreation area is
isolated from the rest of the park and is obscured from public view.
Park Issues
· Graffiti/Vandalism, particularly on restroom buildings
· Park Identity. The park appears to be a part of the middle school
and not a City park facility.
· Site visibility into the park is obscured by a heavily wooded
boundary. In addition, site visibility is poor into the south end
of the park. School staff have requested that this area have
improved visibility.
· Drainage issues associated with topographic changes.
· The facilities are dated and need to be upgraded.
· Undersized athletic fields, in part due to the size of existing
terraces on site and steep slopes.
· Artificial turf soccer field is experiencing problems due to heavy
use, drainage issues and tracking of_ from adjacent track.
Park Potential
This park's utilization will increase significantly once the recommended
improvements are implemented.
Needs
Near term
· Address problems with existing artificial turf soccer field.
Long Term
· Implement Sacajawea Master Plan recommended improvements

SAGHALIE PARK
Park Character & Context
Saghalie Park is one of the five active recreation parks in the City. It
is located immediately adjacent to and shares athletic facilities with
Saghalie Middle School. The park sits on a high point above SW
Campus Drive. The park has a sense of enclosure due to topographic
changes and the surrounding tree cover and its location behind a
school. Off-street parking is available behind the middle school. Three
pedestrian entry points are located along SW Campus Drive. Land uses
immediately surrounding the park includes Saghalie Middle School, retail
areas, and a concentration of multi-family residential.
Park Issues
In general, the park is in good condition; only minor improvements and
enhancements are needed to increase usability and attractiveness.
Current park issues include:
· Vandalism. The park has a history of high levels of vandalism
and graffiti. This can be attributed, in part, to the low visibility into
the park from street and adjacent properties.
· Recreation Fields. Some of the ball fields on site have a
tendency to flood during winter months. Converting natural grass
areas to artificial turf will correct these deficiencies.
· Visibility. Improve visibility of park from the street, including
pedestrian access points along SW Campus Drive.
· Demand for cell tower access
Park Potential
As one of the community parks, the recreational fields at this park are
heavily used. By upgrading the fields to address deficiencies, the city
can increase the number of games that can be played year-round.
Needs
Near term
· Develop a facility improvement plan for Saghalie which identifies
specific facilities improvements for the active recreation fields;
· Update park identity sign at park entry;
· Include 1-2 directional signs along SW Campus Dr.;
· Improve sightlines and visibility into park along SW Campus Dr.
Long- Term
· Improve trail surface conditions and enhance trail connections;
· Improved landscaping and street frontage treatments to create a
more defined park entry, including park identity signs.
· Replace surface material under playground equipment.

STEEL LAKE PARK
Park Character & Context
Steel Lake Park is a unique and popular park north of the City Center. It is
divided into two parts by S 312th Street. The northern portion of the site is
oriented toward passive recreation activities, with Steel Lake being the dominant
feature. This site contains a beach, swimming area, fishing pier, multiple picnic
areas with one picnic shelter, a restroom/concession building, boat launch,
basketball court, sand volleyball courts, and a large meadow with many large
trees of varied species. The portion south of S. 312th Street (often referred to
as "Steel Lake Annex") functions as the active recreation area and contains
two lighted softball fields, an artificial turf soccer field, a skatepark, concession/
restroom building, small playground for preschool age children, maintenance barn
and an older brick house that is currently used for preschool classes. The City's
maintenance shop is located just east of Steel Lake Park. The park is located at
the intersection of two minor arterial streets, S 312th Street and 28th Avenue S.
Access to both the north and south portions of the park is from S 312th Street.
There is no curb or sidewalk along the perimeter of Steel Lake Park, although
there is a wide shoulder in some locations.
Park Issues
· Parking and traffic are major issues during the busy summer weekends.
· There is significant unmet demand for picnic facilities.
· Vandalism, graffiti and theft are problems, particularly at the Annex.
Park Potential
There is continual high demand for picnic facilities, particularly for the single
picnic shelter. Well-designed picnic areas and shelters are needed here or in
other community parks. The large variety of species of trees on the site lend
the possibility of developing the park as an informal arboretum. Because of the
complexity of the site and the many uses and demands on it, a master planning
process is recommended to guide future redevelopment.
Needs
Near Term
· Regrade/reseed meadow area
· Repair fishing pier
· Provide concrete pad for Picnic Site 4
· Revegetate slope on east side of Karl Grosch Soccer Field
· Install lighting at Annex parking lot
· Replace toddler playground at Annex
Long Term
· Develop a Park Master Plan

--- - -.....- . SW 312TH SPORTS COURTS
Park Character & Context
This site consists entirely of three paved sports courts, including one
basketball court, one tennis court and one pickleball court, placed end to
end. The two larger courts are enclosed with high fencing, and one gate
serves both courts. The pickleball court has fencing only at the ends of
the court, The courts are depressed into the site by about 3 feet.
A vegetative screen north of the courts provides a buffer between the
sports activities and the adjacent homes. However, homes on each end
of the courts have direct views of the courts.
There is good vehicular access from SW 312th Street, a minor arterial.
There are no sidewalks in this neighborhood or on the site,
Park Issues
· Since the park is not signed well, and does not have parking, it is
not immediately evident that this is a public property,
· The courts are in good condition, however the rest of the site is
inadequately developed.
· There is no formalized parking on the site, and visitors park on
random gravel pads along the edge of the street.
· Drainage and erosion problems are evident.
· There is no seating and very limited pedestrian circulation on the
site,
Park Potential
SW 312th Sports Courts is a 'special use' neighborhood park because it
offers an important and unique resource to the community. The courts
might receive more use with needed improvements such as seating
areas, parking and sidewalks. This must be balanced with their close
proximity to residents, who are sometimes affected by noise from the
courts.
Needs
Near Term
· Benches
· Park sign
· Plantings to screen residences
Long Term
· Paved parking
· Pedestrian walkways
· Address drainage and erosion problems, possibly with concrete
block wall around edge of courts that can double as seating.

- - -~ ......---- ;a; __ _ Athletic Facility Needs Assessment
In addition to the needs for the different park classifications, an analysis
of athletic facilities was also prepared to understand current deficiencies
and future needs. The analysis of athletic facilities is based on
anecdotal feedback from the public outreach process, recreation staff
observations, and level of service calculations. The level of service
standards recommended in this Plan Update for athletic facilities is
based on the 2000 Comprehensive Park, Recreation, and Open Space
Plan. Table B-1 depicts the level of service calculations for baseball/
softball, soccer, football, basketball, tennis, and swimming pools.
Table B-1 shows both the National Recreation and Parks Association
standards as well as the standards adopted as a part of the 2000 Parks,
Recreation, and Open Space Plan. Below is the discussion for each
athletic facility type.
BASEBALL
There is a deficiency in regulation-sized fields to serve the teen and adult
population. A shortage of regulation sized fields with 90' bases, and
lit fields was identified in the public outreach process as an important
issue for athletics in the City. Currently, there are 21 adult-sized fields
within the City boundaries, and 5 more in the PAA. The City is currently
meeting a 1 field per 5,000 persons level of service. By 2012, if no
additional facilities are building, the City will easily fulfill the desired level
of service of 1 field per 7,000 persons.
There are 62 Youth fields in the City and none in the PAA. These fields
meet the City's level of service standard of 1 field per 7,000 persons,
when calculating for both the current City boundaries, and the PAA. No
additional fields will be needed to fulfill a 2012 standard of 1 field per
7,000 persons.
SOCCER
The quantity of soccer fields in the Federal Way community (both public
and private) currently meets demand, however, their condition may
preclude full utilization. For example, some of the soccer fields are on
grass fields with poor drainage or are not lit, which limits year round
play. Adult soccer is popular in the community and continues to grow in
popularity. In addition, there is a need for unprogrammed soccer fields
based on current use patterns. For example, there is a growing demand
for soccer that may be, in part, related to the increasing diversity in the
community. This increased demand for unprogrammed soccer facilities

may be stimulated by new arrivals from countries with a strong soccer
tradition. There are currently 35 soccer fields within the City, and 37
when including the PAA. These facilities currently meet the 1 field
per 10,000 persons level of service. However, if the desired higher
standard of 1 field per 2,300 people is to be met by 2012,5 more
fields will be needed for the current city boundaries, or 13 more to
accommodate the P AA.
BASKETBALL
There is anecdotal demand for additional basketball courts, especially
for informal play/'pick up' ball. Similar to soccer field use, groups within
the community use the basketball courts at parks and schools regularly,
even though they are not associated with a basketball league. There
are a total of 7 basketball courts in the City. The City does not currently
have a level of service standard for basketball.
GYMNASIUM
There is currently a perceived shortage of gymnasiums in the City,
although the quantity of gymnasiums has not been documented since
the 2000 plan: According to the 2000 Plan, there area total of 28
gyms in the City. NOTE: IS THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE? IT
IS UNCLEAR WHICH FACILITIES AND SCHOOLS ARE INCLUDED
IN THE 2000 PLAN ). Most of the gyms in the City are located in
the local schools. Other recreation providers in the City who offer
athletics programs (such as the Boys & Girls Club) all vie for the
same gymnasium space. Many of the schools offer Boys & Girls
Club sponsored athletic programs. The schools also have their own
athletic programs that need to use these gymnasiums. As a result, City
programs planned in school gymnasiums often get 'bumped' for things
like school bands, plays, etc. This requires close coordination between
City recreation and school district staff to schedule use of the gyms.
The City will oftentimes use multipurpose rooms or cafeteria space
for its programs due to a lack of gym availability. The new community
center will address some of this gymnasium demand, with the addition
of 3 new gyms in that facility.
TENNIS
Although the level of service analysis indicates that there is a shortage
of tennis courts in the community, public outreach and national trends
indicate a declining interest in tennis. The City has several tennis
courts that are not fully utilized. The NRPA service standard of 1 court
per 2,000 persons is not currently being met by the 25 courts within
the City, and 27 courts when including the PAA. A lower standard of

~~endiXA: ~t15@!i<2ia~ilitie~~N~eds Asse~sme'nt :E . 0; M .J: _ _ M J
M_ ~ 1 facility per 2,500 persons can be met by 2012 if 12 more facilities are
built within City boundaries, or 19 if including the PAA. However, given
current public use, this does not appear to be a priority for the City.
FOOTBALL
There are currently 8 football fields within the City boundaries, and none
in the PAA. This includes football fields at the local schools. These
fields fulfill the current standard of 1 field per 20,000 persons. A desired
service standard of 1 field per 10,000 persons can be achieved by 2012
with the construction of one field with the current city boundaries, or
three fields with the inclusion of the PAA.
SWIMMING POOLS
The City maintains and operates one swimming pool at the Kenneth
Jones Pool, a 6 lane, 25-yard 'T' pool. The Weyerhaeuser King County
Aquatic Center offers 3 pools - a 50 meter pool, a 25 meter pool, and a
diving tank. The new community center, which will open to the public in
2007, will include both a six lane lap pool and a zero depth entry leisure
pool. The City's current level of service standard is based upon a
surface area calculation and not on the number of pools/population.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: May I, 2006
TO: Parks, Recreation and Public Safety Committee
FROM: Patricia A, Richardson, City Attomey ~k<K-
Jenni Snell, City Staff Attomey
SUBJECT: Staff Report Dangerous Dogs Ordinance
Council requested comparison inforn1ation of the Federal Way City Code ("FWCC") and
those of other jurisdictions regulating dangerous and potentially dangerous dogs to detern1ine
whether the City should consider modifying FWCC Chapter IV, Article IV to be more
restrictive, Please the attached current FWCC language,
To produce the requested information, the following codes were reviewed: Auburn,
Bellevue, Brier, Enumclaw, Kent, Kirkland, Lakewood, Mountlake Terrace, Renton, Sea
Tac, Seattle, Tacoma, Tukwila, Yakima and King County,
The attached tables for comparison between the FWCC and those of other jurisdictions
begin with State law in the left hand column. It is intended that the State law indicate the
basic regulations, and the notations under other jurisdictions depict additions to State law
or more restrictive provisions.
State law expressly authorizes the City to completely prohibit dangerous dogs within the
City limits, to place additional restrictions on the owners of dangerous dogs, and to
charge an additional registration fee for dangerous dogs. Additionally, although the City
has no jurisdiction over felony crimes it is noted that State law sets forth felony criminal
penalties for (1) Owners with a prior conviction of dangerous dog violation, or (2)
Owners of any dog that "aggressively attacks and causes severe injury or death of any
, human".
State law and case law require notification, opportunity for a hearing and an appellate
process for owners before the authority designates a dog as dangerous. If the local
jurisdiction has not established a process, State law mandates the process, the criteria, and
the appeal to the municipal court or district court in the absence of a municipal court,
The FWCC does not specify a hearing process or an appellate process in the designation
of dangerous dogs. Instead FWCC 4-4 I authorizes animal control to enforce the
provisions regarding dogs, and the contract with King County Animal Control specifies
E-q I
that the City relies on the County's in-house procedures which follow state statute, It has
come to our attention that the County's in-house process may not be sufficient in a 2006
case where Kirkland relied upon the County's procedures and the court found that the
owner's due process rights were violated when the County designated the dog as vicious,
Consequently, Staff recommends that FWCC Chapter 4, Article IV be amended to
expressly set forth the notice, hearing and appellate process for the designation of
dangerous dog,
Additionally several provisions in Chapter 4 establish the due process procedure when the
owner violates the restrictions for dangerous dogs. FWCC 4-59 sets forth the criteria and
procedure for animal control to notify the owner of alleged violations, and Division 3,
FWCC 4- 71 through 4-76, set forth the appellate process before King County Board of
Appeals. Depending upon Council's direction, Staff recommends clarifying the process
by cross referencing the applicable sections.

Attachmcnts: lntcrlocal Agrccment bctwccn thc City of Fife, Washington and thc City of Fcdcral Way,
\Vashington for the I-lousing of Inmates in thc Fife City .Jail.
Options Considered: N/A
The City of Federal Way currently has five interlocal agreements with municipal and county
jurisdictions for jail services (Auburn, Enumclaw, Fife, King Co" and Yakima Co,) to house
misdemeanor inmates. The City of Federal Way has had an interlocal agreement with the City of Fifc
since 200 I, In latc 2005 both cities began to negotiate the current terms of the interlocal agreemcnt.
The Fife City Jail is a facility able to incarcerate approximately thirty (30) male misdemeanor inmates
at any given time, The Fife .I ai I's geographic location reduces the amount of time patrol officers are
outside of the city booking arrestees, The agreement requires that a minimum often (10) beds be
allocated daily for the use of Federal Way inmates. In recent years our daily population at Fife is
generally over ten inmates per day.
By renewing the interlocal agreement the City will continue to have both a cost effective and close
location to incarcerate misdemeanor inmates, The contract also allows us the Oexibility to continue to
utilize the Fife City .Jail as a transport hub for inmates needing transportation services to Yakima
County. Additionally the Fife City Jail will be responsible for providing security of Federal Way
inmates if they are in need of outside medical care.
Fife's daily rate will increase from $63 to $G6 per day / per inmate with no booking fee for the 200G
calendar year; and to $67'per day / per inmate effective January 1,2007, The 2006 daily rate is
retroactive to January I, 2006, costing the city approximately $3837. The increase in daily rates is
reasonable based on the normal market adjustments made by our other contract jails,
G-)
-------
The tentative 2006 / 07 daily rates and booking fees are as follows:
J ail Facility Daily Rate Booking Fee
2006 2007 2006 2007
Fifc $66.00 $67.00 $0.00 $0,00
Auburn $59.04 $59.04 $0,00 $0.00
Enumclaw $50,00 $50,00 $0.00 $0,00
King County $97.59 $103.27 $186.42 $197.23
Yakima County $68.07 $71.47 $0.00 $0,00
Okanogan County $42,00 $0,00 $0,00 $0.00
There is a benefit financially and operationally for the city to renew the jail service contract with the
CityofFife,

Options Considered: N/A
City or Fedcral Way currcntly has five intcrlocal agrccmcnts with other municipal and coullty
jurisdictions for j ai I serviccs (Auburn, Enumclaw, Fire, King Co" and Yakima Co.) to house
misdemeanor inmates. City or Federal Way has had an interlocal agreement with Okanogan County in
the past but the contract has expired and needs to be renewed.
Thc City or Federal Way is part or the Jail Administrative Group (JAG), compriscd of]7 cities in King
County. The primary jail services for these cities are being provided by Yakima County Dcpartmcnt of
Corrections. Our city's primary jail facilities are Yakima County with 29 contracted beds and Fife Jail
with 10 contracted beds. Overflow inmates are incarcerated at Auburn, Enumclaw and King County
.I ai I.
E,ntering into ajail service contract with Okanogan County will allow our city thc flexibility to
incarcerate our inmates at another jail racility, [n addition, the housing of inmates at Okanogan County
will bring cost savings to our city. Okanogan County's daily rate is $42 without a booking fee,
Thc daily rate and booking lcc are as following:
Jail Facility Daily Rate Booking Fce
. Auburn $59.04 $0,00
. Enumclaw $50,00 $0.00
. Fife $63.00 $0.00
. King County $97,59 $186.42
. Yakima County $68.07 $0.00
. Okanogan County $42.00 $0.00 H-\

There is a benefit financially and operationally for the city to enter into a jail service contract with
Okanogan County. Other local jurisdictions such as Rcnton, Auburn, ctc already have a contract with
Okanogan County Jail to house misdcmcanor inmatcs,

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
Memorandum
DATE: May I, 2006
TO: Federal Way City Council Members
FROM: Patricia A. Richardson, City Attorney ~~
Jennifer Snell, City Staff Attorney
VIA: Derek M athesan, Interim Cit y Manage~
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance to Add Crimes for Domestic Violence in the Presence of
Children and for Domestic Violence with Use of Strangulation.
BACKGROUND
Domestic violence is pervasive and the impacts of domestic violence touch more than just the
physical victims. The National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information notes
that even when children are not the direct targets of domestic violence, they are harmed by
witnessing the violence-including auditory, visual, and observation of the aftermath of domestic
violence. Research shows that children who witness domestic violence often suffer severe
emotional and developmental difficulties similar to children who are the direct victims of abuse.
The City of Federal Way has partnered with the South King County Community Network on a
project studying the adverse effect on children that witness or are victims of domestic violence in
Federal Way. Statistics show that in 2004, children were present during 232 charges of domestic
violence.
According to the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, strangulation
has been identified as one of the most lethal forn1s of domestic violence. Strangulation is used
by perpetrators as a method of power and control to silence their victims. The effects of
strangulation are potentially fatal and have devastating psychological effects on the victim. Ten
out of 100 violent deaths occur in the United States are due to strangulation, with six female
victims to every male.
The proposed ordinance also reorganizes the current Federal Way City Code adoption of the
Washington State domestic violence statutes for clarity.
