Applications Open for Skagit County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
The Skagit County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board works with the Parks, Recreation, Fair & Facilities Department and advises the Board of County Commissioners on proposed parks and recreation projects, policies, and fees.
The advisory board will be working to update the Skagit County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan, which is due to be updated by April 2028. The Parks Comprehensive Plan is a six-year planning document that explores potential park development and / or improvements, including the fairgrounds, and prioritizes strategies to meet a level of services which fits the needs of County residents.
The plan also describes existing and potential funding sources that will be required to meet project needs and maintain park facilities and recreation services. Additionally, the plan sets forth several goals and objectives to help guide county staff and elected officials to implement the parks plan.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board consists of nine members, three from each Commissioner District, and usually meets once per month. Meetings are held online via Teams.
