The Upper Bear Creek Community Council and members of the King County Active Sports and Youth Recreation (ASpYRe) Commission invite you to an open house about the status of the King County County park system. Learn about ways you can help ensure that existing parks are operated and maintained and how and where you can help build a better system of parks. Do you support raising taxes, user fees or private involvement? Find out what groups are already successfully operating, maintaining or building parks in King County and what agreements and funds are available for your group to participate. There will be presentation and questions and answers.
