Because We Love Our Parks, Vote Yes 
on Proposition 1

Olympia’s park system, our treasured community asset, needs assistance. As we emerge from the great recession, it is clear we have fallen behind in both essential maintenance and acquisition of new park lands.  If left unfunded, the maintenance backlog will result in park deterioration and possible closures, and preservation of new open spaces will not happen.  The Metropolitan Park District will provide a stable source of funding to maintain our parks and build the new parks we need now and into the future, to serve our growing population. 

We Need Upkeep, Acquisition and Accountability.
Broad community support exists for conserving LBA Woods, removing the Capitol Center building, investing in preservation of Percival Landing, completion of Woodland and West Bay trails and preservation of wildlife habitat. We also need additional athletic fields and other amenities for youth and adult recreation and improvements to our trail system.

The Metropolitan Park District will raise revenue to support park maintenance, development and acquisition not otherwise feasible.  The District will operate with a citizen advisory committee to ensure that funds are spent as voters intended.

Creating a Legacy Together
We are faced with a fragile, deteriorating park system that needs our help. By assuring stable, dedicated funding, we will create a legacy to benefit our community for generations to come.  Please join in the strong Olympia tradition of supporting valued parks.

Please Vote Yes
Your support for the formation of a Metropolitan Park District will help keep Olympia parks healthy, growing, and well maintained.  Because we love and need our parks, vote yes!
