confluence in anticipation of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern neighboring cities.
A-12 I Arlington PRMP Plan
The federal government established a Civilian Conservation
Corps (CCC) camp near Darington to create temporary jobs; the
young men built structures and conducted firefighting in the Mount
Baker National Forest. The Works Progress Administration (WPA)
and Civil Works Administration (CWA) funded the construction of
the city's sidewalks, a high school, and a municipal airport that
opened in 1934.
The entry of the United States into World War II brought the US
Navy to Arlington, resulting in the conversion of the municipal
airport into a naval air station in 1943. The Navy constructed new
runways and hangars and, beginning in 1946, the municipal
government was allowed to operate civilian and commercial
services. Ownership of the airport was formally transferred from
the federal government back to the city of Arlington in 1959.
Current development
Among the largest employers of Arlington residents are the Boeing
Everett Factory and Naval Station Everett. The expansion of the
aerospace industry in the Seattle region led Arlington to develop its
municipal airport into an aerospace job center, which includes a
high concentration of Boeing subcontractors. As of 2012, the airport
had 130 on-site businesses that employed 590 people, with an
annual economic output of $94,500,000. Aircraft manufacturer
Glasair Aviation is based in Arlington, and Eviation Aircraft uses its
Arlington hangars for assembly and testing of the Eviation Alice, an
electric prototype model.
Arlington plans on increasing the number of jobs within the city to
over 20,000 by 2035, bolstered by the designation of the Cascade
Industrial Center by the Puget Sound Regional Council in 2019. The
industrial center, located between Marysville and Arlington near
Smokey Point, already includes major distribution centers and other
light industry. A 5-story Amazon distribution center is planned to
be constructed near the airport at a cost of $355,000,000.

Conclusions
• A valuable park, recreation, and open space system includes
lands that may not be suitable for built uses - and developed
recreational facilities, but which can provide unique preserves,
habitats, cultural, and historical associations. These combined
social and physical attributes provide a balanced dimension to the
park and recreation experience.
• Strategically important sites - are owned or controlled by
nonprofit and private facility operators with most kinds of physical
and socially valuable parks, recreational, and open space
characteristics.
• A quality park and recreation system does not have to be
implemented strictly by public monies or purchase - but by the
creative interplay of public and private market resources using a
variety of techniques including leases, easements, tax incentives,
design and development innovations, and enlightened private
property interests. Future parks, recreation, and open space
acquisition strategies may use traditional purchase options as well
as cost effective alternatives.

7 Outdoor exercise park 11/30/2021 7:23 PM
8 Asphalt pump track and some jump lines would be cool 11/29/2021 10:53 AM
9 We should improve the tee pads at twin rivers disc golf course. We have one of the nicest 11/26/2021 5:45 PM
courses in the county right here in Arlington and the only thing holding it back from being one
of the top courses in the state is the crummy tee pads.

11 The skate park really need some work done to it and some some beginner transition such as 11/26/2021 1:51 PM

places to picnic that aren't crowded. Also, please increase easy-to-access trails for those with
disabilities.
21 Trails, Trails, Trails! 10/27/2021 9:43 AM
22 it would be nice not to have to go outside of town for a pump track -an outdoor or indoor would 10/21/2021 10:52 AM
be great. We are lucky to have a skateboard park but update or covered area would be great. I
also have to leave to swim but I understand this is expensive.
23 Recreation center with swimming pool 10/15/2021 9:11 AM
24 Outdoor concert venues 10/14/2021 4:02 PM
25 The items marked "Average"were rated so because I think we already do a wonderful job of 10/12/2021 12:11 PM
creating and maintaining these activities, not because I don't see the as important. Community
gardens seems especially important right now although I think they speak to a small minority
of the community. I really want to see Arlington move forward with more and more activities
that support teens having fun in a healthy way.
26 As a parent our focus should also be shifted to reducing homelessness around our most 10/11/2021 6:10 PM
vulnerable population -our children.
27 1 live in the Smokey Point area and utilize the Airport trail 5-6 times a week and would love to 10/11/2021 4:19 PM
have something in the area that would be similar to Jennings Park in marysville. We are being
inundated with large construction using up the natural state of our area and yet nothing seems
to be set aside for just simple family outings. I am very concerned that the area behind the
Stillaguamish Athletic Club is going to be eliminated and could/would make a lovely area to
allow families, workers, visitors to slip away into a natural setting. It would be an added feature
for the Fly-ins and the draw that our airport has to others from other areas. Mostly, I just really
think that all the construction needs to be balanced out with spaces set aside for outdoor
activity.

35 Adding trash cans and more benches along Centennial Trail 10/7/2021 1:33 AM
36 There needs to be more parks/playgrounds in the Smokey Pointe/Airport Trail area. 10/5/2021 5:37 PM
37 Municipal RV park 10/5/2021 1:40 PM
38 Adding any of these types of outdoor facilities would be great. The big problem with the 10/5/2021 12:48 PM
existing ones (which I presume would end up being equally true for new facilities) is security. I
have stopped going to any of these places because of the sketchy people that I see hanging
out there who are panhandling (sometimes too aggressively)and/or using drugs. Additionally,
you take your chances if you leave your car in the parking lot to go enjoy the park. One only
has to visit the Arlington Facebook community pages to know that many people get their
vehicles vandalized or stolen while they are enjoying the park. That's sort of sucks the fun out
of enjoying any sort of outdoor spaces.

9 Would love to see the old Haggen's on Hwy 9 turned into a community rec center for the city. 11/7/2021 6:23 AM

The city really needs a community rec center.

11 These would all improve our community and seem essential. 10/12/2021 7:18 PM
12 All great ideas above. Our community has a lot of outdoor options, it's the indoor activities that 10/11/2021 6:10 PM
are lacking during the winter/rainy months. Therefore parents go elsewhere. To other
surrounding cities
13 As stated in previous comment, I would love to see a multi function, activity park that would 10/11/2021 4:19 PM
have small meeting spaces, community garden, short walking paths, playground, picnic tables,
etc. Something that could be enjoyed by a variety of individuals or groups. Like for all the
businesses that are being built could take a short walk on a break or enjoy lunch outside at a
table or where small celebrations of 50 or so people could be held with outdoor activity to be
enjoyed as well. Again, something like Jennings Park is needed in Smokey Point. We are
being swallowed up by concrete and businesses. The little York Park is sweet but how about
expanding even that little park with the home next door for use, etc.

Girls club as well as other youth organizations. Our children were homeschooled so our sports
were enjoyed via community programs. We have enjoyed the airport trail for 26 years and are
concerned that the portion near the newest construction on 172nd is going to be destroyed.
Honestly even the lot on the corner of 172nd and 43 could be a great community garden area
or a new library or...Quite honestly what benefits have we received for being incorporated into
Arlington? Not much. I take my grand children to York Park and for walks and rides on the trail
but the Smokey Point Library is a huge disappointment and we could have so much more that
would balance out our community.

all the profits. Why not the city partner with the Arlington Runners Club, the resource center,
the b& g club, Eagle Wings or other great local organizations and get that info published and
out to families . Use tax dollars to support the great things going on already by people who are
already trying to do it, rather than reinvent the wheel with new programs.

would also state that maybe there could be council meetings that were focused just on the
Smokey Point region. For instance, it would have been really nice to have had input on the
development in our area especially as it pertains to open spaces as well as congestion and the
need for road improvement BEFORE commercial development. I guarantee you that if you all
lived in Smokey Point these issues might have been dealt with a little differently.

# RESPONSES DATE
1 Mountain biking has become more and more popular. A pump track paved or dirt would benefit 1/17/2022 6:12 PM
the youth in the area that don't have the means to get out to the trails. Maybe a small single
track. A good place where kids, people of all ages can hone their skills. This will attract people
of all ages.
2 Yes, I would really like to see safety light telling cars their are pedestrians crossing road on 12/9/2021 7:09 AM
centinal trial in town and especially the one by galleria park
3 1 love the idea of an indoor playground or indoor waterpark, since it's always raining 12/7/2021 8:05 PM
4 Keep ALL ages in mind, not just children! Not everyone has children but would still like 12/7/2021 8:59 AM
activities and things to do in the parks. Have some activities where children aren't welcome, I
don't have kids and don't always have to be around them at a park
5 The skatepark needs to be upgraded. The concrete is failing, and there needs to be a covered 12/7/2021 7:04 AM
section that can be utilized year round
6 Track, outdoor basketball hoops, soccer and/or football field would be nice near Weston High 12/6/2021 9:21 PM
School and the new Amazon building
7 1 believe more sports facilities are needed in North Snohomish county, specifically Arlington. 12/6/2021 8:38 PM
Artificial turf for year round options is most needed.
8 Need more accommodating and accessible sites, services, and events for those with 12/5/2021 3:20 PM
disabilities
9 1 would prefer parks, recreation and open spaces that are within walking distance of Olympic. 12/4/2021 6:42 PM
10 None 12/4/2021 6:42 PM
11 1 filled out reasonings in the above other sections. Keeping the parks and trails safe from 12/4/2021 5:22 PM
addicts/thieves would be nice too (along with the dog suggestions)....really want a community
indoor pool and track.
12 1 think there needs to be more of a community center where kids involved in all kinds of sports 12/3/2021 8:48 AM
can go to to practice indoors. The outdoor faucet ilities for sports also need to be improved
upon. And when making turf baseball AND softball fields, please make sure the mods for
BOTH sports are measured at the correct distance(not the case at Quake).
13 1 love the parks in Arlington! I moved here from Everett so living here is pure bliss! 12/2/2021 11:06 PM
14 More play areas for children. Haller park is crowded. 12/2/2021 9:20 PM
15 Big wants as a parent of 4 kids. 1.A community pool 2.a YMCA catering to basketball and 12/2/2021 5:27 AM
volleyball spaces 3. community volleyball sand area or indoor court 4. Indoor walking track for
our over 70 5. Indoor training facility that has Terf for football and other sports. This would give
teens an outlet that is currently only available in Monroe or Bellevue at a high cost
16 quake field for older needs to be updated like lirtle league, young kids need healthy 12/1/2021 10:48 PM
environments to hang with friends. itvrains so much here we need better indoor activity options
in Arlington.
17 More youth sport opportunities, public tennis courts 12/1/2021 8:20 PM
18 Activity places for children under 18. Museums, inside play areas 12/1/2021 4:45 PM
19 Haller Park splash pads needs more seating for parents. 11/30/2021 10:49 PM
20 A park and picnic area on Airport Rd by the new fire station would be nice. 11/30/2021 7:23 PM
42 /50
Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey
21 No 11/30/2021 4:43 PM
22 More place for farmers markets or similar indoor and outdoor. Support for small business with 11/30/2021 11:53 AM
covered and outdoor eating areas and good patrol and area maintenance.
23 Plan for more secure parking areas. Theft and break-in is the biggest deterrent in enjoying 11/30/2021 11:23 AM
parks and trails.
24 Dont waste money on play ground equipment that breaks easy or requires a lot of 11/30/2021 4:46 AM
maintenance. Instead of sawdust replace with that bouncy solid rubber flooring.
25 Plant more trees please. 11/29/2021 7:28 PM
26 Great job with our existing trails. Our family uses them often. The splash pad at Haller is 11/29/2021 5:42 PM
awesome, perhaps the closing date could be pushed past Labor Day (the weather is great thru
September)A public aquatic center would be great, we travel to Snohomish to use that facility,
would be a great opportunity for our community.
27 Arlington is doing such a great job. I would love to see a bmx track, pump track, mountain bike 11/29/2021 10:53 AM
park attractions. That is what me and my kids love. We also love soccer and could use turf
fields to play year round. An indoor bike park would be awesome so we can do it year round.
Love what you have done with downtown. Keep up the great work, Arlington rules!
28 Adult softball league 11/29/2021 9:10 AM
29 More dog friendly events with beer 11/28/2021 7:07 PM
30 We need an adapted playground, one that is more than a swing (the new addition at Haller 11/28/2021 2:51 PM
Park). A playground for kids of all abilities-our school playgrounds lack this type of equipment
and so do our city playgrounds.
31 An asphalt pump track would be a great addition to the Arlington area and attract local bikers 11/28/2021 1:16 PM
and many from surrounding areas. Climbing walls would also be great for the cold wet winter
months.
32 An asphalt pump track in the city would be amazing. 11/28/2021 12:41 PM
33 Preventative homeless activities and growth of the mountain biking community. 11/28/2021 11:45 AM
34 Pump track please 11/28/2021 8:14 AM
35 Yes more parks please,up on Arlington heights and along the stilly river thank you for the parks 11/28/2021 7:04 AM
that we do have, much appreciated,*
36 More music events, more street fairs, parks and rec programs for kids with weekend or 11/28/2021 3:38 AM
evening options for working parents, summer movies in the park, indoor rec options like water
park (like forest park), children's museum, stem learning, gymnastics, dance etc.
37 Edible landscaping A place for kids to hangout roller skate, arcade, play basketball, have 11/26/2021 9:55 PM
dance classes sponsored by the city. A indoor obstacle course for different ages 2-12. With a
place for 0-2 moms/dads to watch the kids with walls that have activities for that age group.
And floors with pads. Play basketball or wall ball. Dance play arcade games separately from
the 13 and up.
38 1 would love to see improvements to the twin rivers disc golf park. I feel if there was 11/26/2021 5:45 PM
professional tee pads instead of dirt we could host top tier events/tournaments and bring more
money into our community
39 The skatepark is in very rough shape and I grew up there. It means so much to all of us who 11/26/2021 4:33 PM
use it. Any improvement to our city is appreciated though.
40 1 really think outdoor sports are a fantastic way of bringing the community together. I ride at the 11/26/2021 2:45 PM
skatepark by the memorial fields almost every day in the sunny seasons, love riding the
centennial trail, and hanging out downtown Arlington. We've been making additions and
keeping up on the area very well & I'm so happy to live in the city. Not much of a concern just
a shout that I appreciate the way everything has been going!
41 Additions to the skatepark. Like revamping the street section, and adding a mini to the 11/26/2021 1:51 PM
concrete pad hidden in the trees behind the Bill Quake sign. Maybe build a mini
skatepark/pump track that is tied into centennial trail.
43/50
Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey
42 As long as Progressives stop building in and around Arlington, open spaces are welcome. 11/26/2021 8:08 AM
43 Keep as much public land open as possible. Current parks are very good. Thanks for 11/26/2021 6:22 AM
considering doing more. An aquatics center would be super great if you could pull it off. Any
special help or places teens could recreate after school of similar would be great
44 1 would love to see more dog friendly spaces in Arlington as well as an aquatic center. Our 11/25/2021 8:43 AM
community has proved its interest in the splash park has been successful. An addition of a full
aquatic center would benefit this area with many uses: swim lesson, aquatic fitness, open
swim, lap swim, pool parties, etc. I envision a year round indoor/outdoor pool with a retractable
roof to enjoy during the summer months.
45 More for kids to do. After school activities.. music in the park. It would be neat to have an 11/24/2021 9:56 PM
arcade downtown for the kids.
46 More trees please 11/24/2021 6:31 PM
47 We need to have a community center and aquatic center. Lynnwood and Snohomish have 11/24/2021 6:10 AM
lovely areas. We need to teach kids how to swim.
48 A bathroom at more of the parks 11/23/2021 10:19 PM
49 1 would love to See tether ball ,sand volleyball, basketball, 11/23/2021 8:52 AM
50 Parks in neglected Smokey Point! (The one you have is in a rough area, albeit good that it is 11/22/2021 12:16 PM
there, and has no restrooms)We need something east of Smokey Point Boulevard, perhaps in
conjunction with the airport(?)Tie development in with the Complete Streets development of
SPBlvd.
51 More dog walking trails 11/22/2021 6:55 AM
52 11/22/2021 5:54 AM
53 Stop with the wasting of money on Art. Need new and exciting play grounds for kids. Re- 11/21/2021 7:01 PM
terracing terrace park was a waste. Develop a playground on the bottom. Division st is too
busy for any type of concerts, especially with the new traffic increase from the condos being
built.
54 1 would like to see sidewalks all the way down 172nd Dr. My husband and daughter are legally 11/21/2021 12:34 PM
blind and right now there are no sidewalks, no bus, and no dial a ride. It is very hard and
dangerous for them to go anywhere on their own.
55 Would love to have some open ball fields and maybe even a space that is outdoors, but also a 11/19/2021 9:10 PM
large covered area where people can stay out of the elements while still enjoying the outdoors.
Also to ensure the areas remain safe and drug free
56 A YMCA and improvement to skate park, bike jumps would be great! 11/19/2021 8:29 PM
57 Check out other countries. Especially okinawa Japan. Their parks are phenomenal and well 11/19/2021 8:19 PM
kept.
58 We need dog parks. I also would like to see events where they will serve other items such as 11/19/2021 8:17 PM
soda or lemonade instead of alcohol. Many people can't drink just alcohol and to not provide it
on hot days is very inappropriate.
59 We have enough parks. We need to be able to maintain what we have in the lean times 11/19/2021 8:11 PM
60 Would love to see a kindermusik program in Arlington. Also, a drama program for kids. 11/19/2021 10:45 AM
61 Thanks for asking. You are running out of spaces, but I wish the city would buy any 11/19/2021 10:27 AM
undeveloped space in the city to put in mini-parks. They lift the spirit and add health and
charm to the city. Would love a YMCA with a pool. We need meeting spaces for clubs that
aren't expensive or free. Tennis courts would be great. Use the old high school for a
community center. You could offer meeting rooms there, classes, lecctures, etc..
62 We are relatively new residents of the Arlington area, are located outside city boundaries 11/19/2021 10:21 AM
(Arlington Heights), but still consider Arlington our"hometown."We are learning the pace of
Arlington life and events. Still, we are less interested than we could be about attending
Arlington events, due to the lax enforcement of mask wear by large businesses in town and
44/50
Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey
during outside large events, as well as the numbers of customers allowed inside by
businesses and restaurants.
63 Arlington is so pretty. Please create more beautiful parks with paved walking paths. People of 11/9/2021 9:53 AM
all ages can use them. Would love something like Jennings park. Or just more walking paths
for taking kids, adults, seniors on walks in nature. The trees and hills and mountains are so
gorgeous in this area and the development of buildings around the airport area and 172nd is
starting to block this. We would love to find more open walks with benches (and picnic tables)
please.
64 Commend you on the renovation of Haller Park and the Splash Park, big hit. Would love to see 11/7/2021 6:23 AM
more neighborhood parks in the 1, 2, and 3 areas.
65 We are absolutely in need of more recreation. Specifically swimming options (indoor or 10/31/2021 1:17 PM
outdoor)and a bike track. Also, the skatepark is very outdated and not user friendly. It was
created for really advanced skaters without options for people who are more casual or learning.
66 Path to Legion Park over railroad tracks, harder to cross West Ave to get to Main(Olympic) 10/27/2021 9:43 AM
street and Park. Kind of wish railroad tracks ended south of park.
67 At York Memorial Park, the trail there has a trash can that is overflowing with all kinds of 10/24/2021 7:38 AM
garbage. It is literally on the ground now and its disgusting. There is graffiti on the picnic
tables, the benches should be repaired, the slides should be redone. Especially the small child
slide, it's showing its age. All in all the park needs a new facelift.
68 None 10/22/2021 10:40 PM
69 More kids parks, with trails would be great. 10/22/2021 1:39 PM
70 A covered multi-area play space would be great. I know so many people that go out of 10/21/2021 10:52 AM
Arlington for pump track, might be a cool idea for all ages
71 York Park needs more maintenance, especially on the trail portion leading out of it. A garbage 10/19/2021 7:19 AM
can has not been emptied in the old basketball hoop area since the beginning of summer and
it's a hazard to walk by. There is also often broken glass on the trail from homeless or drug
addicts hanging out and needles.
72 maintain natural areas along river 10/17/2021 8:58 PM
73 Yes, leave open spaces, it's getting built up to fast lately and over crowded. 10/15/2021 11:03 PM
74 Continue improving and expanding splash park and it's hours, equipment and amenities. 10/15/2021 2:40 PM
75 1 would love to see a mini park and community garden put in high clover it would be amazing 10/15/2021 9:11 AM
for young kids to learn the value of growing their own food. Also there is so much space that
doesn't get used would love to see it utilized for something amazing like that
76 Involve the community as much as possible in planning, organizing, committing hours to help 10/14/2021 4:02 PM
with projects, etc. People really love this community and want to be part of the process. Use
the skills, talents and passion of the citizens, which are no cost. Pride of community is
obvious here. Embrace it.
77 Preserve open nature spaces in town 10/13/2021 2:15 PM
78 Consider the seniors in the area. There are few active, engaging things to do here. I am 10/12/2021 7:18 PM
considering leaving Arlington after so many years to move to where I can engage in art, music,
fitness and outdoor activities. It becomes a rather non-stimulating environment.
79 It would be great to have some Adult Softball Fields. Open facilities for Adult Basketball & 10/12/2021 6:08 PM
Volleyball. Outdoor and indoor pickleball courts. Fastest growing sport in USA.
80 1 have many concerns about the parks here. There is NOT enough maintenance! There is too 10/12/2021 5:26 PM
much garbage getting in creeks and other waterways. There is a huge mole problem here and
nothing is being done about it! Holes and mounds of dirt instead of smooth ground and grass.
Recently visited River Meadow Park and was appalled by the lack of care there! Dead trees,
overgrowth of scrubs and holes in the ground all over the place! It's shamefu!! The wildlife
preserve near me is really strugglig. So much needs to be done here. It's astounding to me
how badly the waterways and preserves aren't cared for! Really sad and depressing. Would
like to think more care is coming in future.

81 Thinking out side the box, I would like the City to consider creating camping sites for tenting, 10/12/2021 12:54 PM
trailer, motorhome recreation at the Country Charm Park. Many people can't afford to take
deluxe vacations, and there needs to be more opportunity for them to recreate in their own
back yard. If you are interesting in talking about this opportunity, I would enjoy visiting with
you. Thanks, Denny
82 Arlington has done a wonderful job of creating and maintaining space for us to enjoy. These 10/12/2021 12:11 PM
opportunities add to our physical and mental health as well as help connect people in the
community. I love the trails, and all the parks. Seeing Haller transform has been absolutely
amazing. Thank you!
83 1 would like to see more events for kids in Arlington. The Haller park expansion and splash pad 10/12/2021 10:00 AM
made such a beautiful impact for kids of many ages. I think kids have had to deal with such a
major life change from the pandemic and focusing on events and activities to help them thrive
in life and create positive community and social involvement is extremely important for our
nations youth and future.
84 Land is disappearing super fast for business development. Buy or hold as many acres as 10/11/2021 10:01 PM
possible now before the land is all built on.
85 We need to do more about the homelessness epidemic. It's bleeding more into our city, and 10/11/2021 6:10 PM
our children are being exposed to adult content. Any deterrent such as: Signs to not feed or
give money to, fines to follow disobeying. We need to do more to protect our city from
Seattle's mismanagement. Our children are more important.
86 Arlington Proper has several areas already that are sufficient but York Park is the only 10/11/2021 4:19 PM
community park in Smokey Point. Some housing developments have play equipment but they
are not great AT ALL! Something that provides multiple activities like; playground, picnics,
walking, sports, garden, indoor meeting spaces, with rooms, kitchen, etc. Again, I reference
Jennings Park which has something for everyone and is spread out across many varying
landscapes. Gardens, streams, woods, grass, playgrounds, barn, meeting space, Parks and
Recs...Arlington/Smokey Point needs this. Lakewood area would also greatly benefit from
something like this. I can't even remember all the times that my kids when they were little were
invited to some activity at Jennings Park. We took art classes there as well. We should have
the same!
87 YMCA larger boys and girls club, fields, parking. Community center with computers 10/11/2021 1:51 PM
Community Pool for lessons, fun, school swim team
88 Boys and girls club and fields are too small for our community. We need more fields and indoor 10/11/2021 12:59 PM
space for basketball, volleyball, etc.A community Pool, YMCA is needed. An off leash dog
park. New play structure at terrace park. Fix the fence at terrace park. Bathroom st Jenson
park
89 1 would love to have a YMCA 10/10/2021 8:31 PM
90 Traffic. It's the worst. Island crossing and the entire length of 172nd. Crown Ridge/ high school 10/10/2021 4:05 PM
traffic.
91 More community garden options like the one on French street and a farmers market that 10/10/2021 1:10 PM
features produce options from local farms.
92 We desperately need an indoor place in city limits for kids of all ages to play and hang out. 10/9/2021 3:21 PM
Whether arcade, pool tables, jungle gym...we have mini golf and bowling here and nothing else
for kids to do in the rainy months. There are plenty of trails and gyms and things for adults, but
the kids need some sort of community play place.
93 Make it comfortable for parents to be at the playground and they will take their kids more often 10/9/2021 1:11 PM
and let them play longer. I think comfort is mostly someplace to sit in the shade. Just one
bench is not enough; people feel crowded when they have to share a bench with multiple
families.
94 Should connect the various trails as much as possible and include bike lanes on all roads and 10/9/2021 12:58 PM
streets. Add art elements to all parks.
95 1 think a recreation center with swimming and other recreation would be a great addition to our 10/9/2021 12:24 PM
town.
96 Would like a restroom open year-round at Haller Park and expansion of the Whitehorse Trail 10/8/2021 4:58 PM
46/50
Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey
97 more events to bring people to the down town merchants-like the street fairs and car shows 10/8/2021 10:45 AM
.more home town parades. why not a three block halloween parade for kids.
98 More community programs and activities for adults. Love walking centennial trail daily but it is 10/8/2021 9:46 AM
becoming dangerous and I have to carry pepper spray to protect myself from people who are in
an altered headspace-sick on drugs. My dog and I have been chased, scared by people living
in the bushes along the trail, picked up needles, and have called for help with unresponsive
people on the trail (passed out). I would use Whitehorse trail more if it was safer but I never
walk that trail alone. My neighborhood also has had a significant increase in crime and
increase in people walking from Smokey Point to their homes in various brush locations. It is
getting to the point that I am not sure it is safe to walk my dog alone on these community trails
that I love!
99 no thanks 10/8/2021 7:57 AM
100 You desperately need to add parks in Smokey Point. The one by the freeway (York?) is okay 10/8/2021 12:35 AM
at best, and there are no restroom facilities. The Quake is okay, but not all that accessible
from Smokey Point. There would seem to be an opportunity to develop a park on the west side
of the airport, east of Smokey Point Boulevard-perhaps near the new fire station?.An improved
airport trail with restrooms would help, too.
101 The road next to the cemetery needs a proper sidewalk. And the cemetery needs its car/walk 10/7/2021 9:20 PM
paths regraveled or just pave it to be rid of potholes.
102 Complete the centennial trail path to the one that goes through Darrington. Ya know the one 10/7/2021 8:33 PM
just past the bridge and next to that arch with the earthquake thing?That'd be tight
103 We have traveled a lot recently, visiting small towns throughout washington state and I must 10/7/2021 8:24 PM
say that most have had amazing parks full of people being active and having fun. I came
home from the most recent trip thinking about how amazing the parks were and why aren't
ours?And Accessibility is nearly zero. We not only need better play equipment, but one or two
pump tracks, another smaller scale skate park that's appropriate for younger children and
beginner/intermediate skill levels. A second splash pad would me amazing and fenced play
areas are an absolute must for families with very you ng/multiple/neurodivergent children. Also,
there are few accessible points to access the river. The only park that I can take my mother to
sit by the river is at twin rivers and that can be a very small, very busy spot when the river is
high. The other access points require being able to climb. Just a nice spot with a view and a
few benches would be lovely
104 1 suggest focusing on the children but also keep the city safe and keep the focus positive& 10/7/2021 6:36 PM
forward thinking.
105 no 10/7/2021 4:20 PM
106 We would frequent a covered playground. With how much it rains around here it would be nice 10/7/2021 12:55 PM
to have a huge covered area for the kids to run and play while it's raining.
107 We are an outdoor family and use the parks and trails in Arlington a lot. Thank you for wanting 10/7/2021 12:39 PM
to expand our parks and rec! My ideas: 1. There are no parks north of Haller Park (that I know
of). I think a playground up north would be WONDERFUL!! Maybe at the Bryant trailhead of the
centennial trail?!! 2. Haller Park needs more shade around the splash pad, either by trees or
other source during the summer. (I've seen shades during the summer around the playground
at kayak point). 3. Haller Park needs more picnic tables and benches around the playground.
They are all taken on warm days or weekends. 4. On many moms groups based in Snohomish
county, moms are looking for a park that has both bathrooms and fully fenced playground.
Moms that have lots of kids, or twins, or special needs kids want to go to a playground that
they feel safe taking their kids. NO public park in Snohomish county has both a fenced
playground and a bathroom. You could bring in families from all over with this type of park!!
Arlington would be amazing if they could offer something like this to families with special
needs!!!! 5. We used to live in Marysville for a few years. There parks and rec activity options
were SO nice. We live too far away to continue with their activities, but would definitely
participate in Arlington activities! Especially kids education, sports, and nature study type
classes. 6. 1 have emailed arlington parks a few times the past 5ish years, and have never
gotten a reply. I wish there was a better way to communicate with the city with my thanks,
comments, and concerns. Thank you for offering this survey!!!
108 As a new resident, I typed a list of all the parks and trails on this survey as a resource. I didn't 10/7/2021 9:11 AM
know there were so many.

109 We LOVE the lights on the trees on Olympic Ave! Thank you for doing that. We hope you will 10/7/2021 1:33 AM
continue to maintain them. Also thank you for the big tree lit up in Legion Park at Christmas
time, and for all the activities sponsored throughout the year. Please add some more trash
cans and benches along the Centennial Trail, at least in town.
110 No 10/6/2021 6:47 PM
111 Would love to see more kids sports programs in Arlington as well as maybe turn the Airport 10/6/2021 1:29 PM
park into a large park for kids similar to Haller and Jennings in Marysville. There are no nice
parks really for those of us in Smokey Point.
112 More bicycle paths or bicycle lanes to connect neighborhoods to Centennial Trail and Major 10/6/2021 1:09 PM
Retail/Commerce corridors.
113 More sidewalks or trails around Arlington. 10/6/2021 10:53 AM
114 We lost a great, often-used informal park to the new business park on 172nd and Airport Blvd. 10/6/2021 10:41 AM
It was a huge loss for us.
115 After the heatwave that the Pacific Northwest experienced this summer, and the deaths that 10/6/2021 10:28 AM
occurred in the homeless population, I would love to support an organization that provides
resources to the homeless. If there are already programs or organizations for these folks, I
think that it would be helpful to share this information on a broader scale.
116 More cooperation and cross promotion with Senior Center(Stilly Valley Center)and Stilly 10/6/2021 9:48 AM
Valley Health Connections. The Stilly Valley Center could use more City financial support and
promotion of its programs.
117 Smokey Point and new high rise development need parks, walking trails and playgrounds that 10/5/2021 11:23 PM
are accessible to the residents living in those areas.
118 Keep open space. Developing Arlington so tourists come is not serving the community needs. 10/5/2021 10:26 PM
What really is the point of this survey. Schools/the library should provide media and education
needs, not Parks and Rec ,
119 Would love to see Country Charm Dairy park completed! It is a family favorite and has so 10/5/2021 10:11 PM
much potential! I think that we could also benefit from more garbage cans in Arlington,
especially if we are talking about growth
120 Continue to focus on keeping it small and the same, I would hate to see it too blown with big 10/5/2021 7:33 PM
buildings- I'm all for more parks/ recreation areas and open spaces!
121 Not yet. So far we love it here! 10/5/2021 7:20 PM
122 A community park in Smokey Point would be nice for the neighborhoods of that area, also as a 10/5/2021 5:52 PM
civic space near the business center of Smokey Point.
123 We need a large Recreation Center with facilities for a variety of Recreational needs and 10/5/2021 5:52 PM
interests.
124 We would love to see kids sports programs through the city! Soccer, basketball, baseball, etc. 10/5/2021 5:03 PM
We have two toddlers who would love to be involved in local sports!
125 If Mayor Barb wasn't the Mayor of Arlington then it would be a Great City but since she the 10/5/2021 4:28 PM
Mayor she is running Arlington into a Shit Hole just like the guy Communist Dictator Dicklee
from where she gets her orders from... Impeach Mayor Barb
126 Love the walking trails. Nice to have convenient restrooms available. 10/5/2021 4:27 PM
127 Linkage: Make it easier to get from one park or"node"to another by foot or cycle. Cemetery 10/5/2021 1:40 PM
Road is a bottleneck through the unincorporated portion where there are no sidewalks,
bikeways or walkable shoulders. Dangerous to walk or bike from High Clover to downtown.
128 Take into consideration what City of Renton has achieved in their parks and recreation. They 10/5/2021 12:58 PM
have a central building that houses so many wonderful classes and events.
129 none. i think the city has really done a great service of taking care of our local parks since i 10/5/2021 12:49 PM
moved here 32yrs ago.
130 Yes, please make all facilities safe for people to visit. 10/5/2021 12:48 PM

131 Lots of open space in and around the airport! any chance of developing a portion of the unused 10/5/2021 12:38 PM
airport property into a park?
132 Child focused indoor recreation areas covered spaces and public security. I appriciate the 10/5/2021 10:10 AM
Arlington splash park. It is public free and safe considering the community involvement. Also it
is clean and free of garbage drug paraphernalia and loitering.
133 Pools, summer camps, childcare, classes 10/4/2021 10:37 PM
134 make it easily accessible. people who live in Glen Eagle can go to the bottom of their hill but it 10/4/2021 9:31 PM
is high risk with so many driveways. People want to get out of their neighborhoods and get on
the trails. (all the housing developments in area 3) If there was access COMPLETELY down
172nd, people from east of hwy 9 would go down on bikes or run and hit the trail. instead we
have to drive. it's less convenient. the new section of entry to the centennial trail at the top of
Getchell is the greatest idea for access. Arlington should be creative like that.
135 We would be at the climbing wall every day if there was one. An indoor community pool as 10/4/2021 8:16 PM
well.
136 Airport trail needs to be safer 10/4/2021 6:43 PM
137 I appreciate the maintenance along the Centennial Trail. It is also nice when maintenance 10/4/2021 5:40 PM
notices large indents in the trail, and marks those with the white spray paint. This makes
avoiding them much easier. I also loved seeing the splash park used this year! This was a
great addition to our town.
138 I think Arlington does a Greta job with the parks it has! 10/4/2021 5:19 PM
139 Sidewalks (Smokey point blvd)to get to the parks and open spaces !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/4/2021 4:41 PM

235 Haller which I absolutely love! While I am sympathetic to the homeless community, it really 2/26/2022 9:21 PM
takes away the feeling of safety to have them camping on the walking trails by the river as it is
very isolated. Females with young children are often concerned. Not asking for anyone to be
removed but hope that law enforcement is aware of who is down there and remove anyone who
was a potential danger. Also, I would say that I see a lot of likely drug deals going on in that
parking lot or people stopping to get high..

1 Alot of parks don't seem to be maintained other than mowing 3/28/2022 9:02 PM
2 We need more fields for sports. The availability to get lines on fields for sports is hard if it's not 3/28/2022 5:00 PM
soccer or football. Lacrosse is much needed and getting larger in our area. The fields we play
on havi mg to be combined with all other sports takes it toll on the fields. We need to consider
more terf fields. We also need to take in more consideration that all sports should be able to be
lined for fields they need. Especially for the student athletes on school property. These
lacrosse players deserve the same as football and soccer.
3 Country charm park use to be the best, until the new construction 3/24/2022 12:26 PM
4 Lack the of community parks within the whole city of Arlington 3/23/2022 11:17 PM
5 There needs to be enforcement of park rules and an addition of parental supervision of youth 3/23/2022 10:46 PM
below the age of 16 at parks. Also, the youth ust"hanging" out at parks unsupervised who are
participating in littering and vandalism, officers need to either cite them and/or drive them
home and explain to parents that they need to set clear guidelines for their children or cite the
parents.

6 Haller Park is beautiful, but the others could use a facelift. I wish there were more parks in old 3/23/2022 6:54 PM
town, as well.
7 1 like the playgrounds and green spaces but would enjoy having additional trails nearby. 3/23/2022 6:06 PM
8 The fields at post and haller middle school are in poor condition. 3/23/2022 4:56 PM
9 We have no quality athletic complex 3/23/2022 3:54 PM
10 Need more athletic spaces for youth programs ie. Football field, lacrosse fields, soccer fields 3/23/2022 3:13 PM
for youth programs.
11 more public restroom facilities would be great in town 3/23/2022 10:20 AM
12 Not enough playgrounds. Fields for sports are limited and not not in the best shape. 3/22/2022 7:03 AM
13 Drugs and garbage all over 3/21/2022 8:13 PM
14 they are horrible we go out of town for parks nothing good here 3/20/2022 7:50 PM
15 Homeless people defalcating on the trail and sidewalks is a problem. They also camp along 3/20/2022 4:45 PM
the river and under the bridge making it so others cannot enjoy the facilities.
16 We feel like we are not in the city. 3/19/2022 6:34 PM
17 Arlington provides an abundance of parks and trails that are easily accessible 3/18/2022 1:48 PM
18 1 have a plot in the community garden at 3rd and French. It is a good start, but needs so much 3/18/2022 10:35 AM
more. We also need one here in Gleneagle.
19 Sports ct. would be great 3/16/2022 12:07 PM
20 Maintenance of parks is lowest and needs to be more people to fully support facilities 3/15/2022 9:50 AM
21 Quality over quanity is important and having the proper city employees to maintain. 3/15/2022 9:03 AM
22 The parks are satisfactory, but they should be updated and expanded if possible. 3/13/2022 4:20 PM
23 Still don't think the pocket park on Olympic was a good idea, seems like a waste of resources. 3/12/2022 11:15 AM
I feel it would be a better use if it was sold to a business which attracts commerce and
generates sales tax. It is not needed as a park for the city.
24 1 use the trails around the airport for walking. 3/11/2022 7:16 PM
25 There are no parks in smokey point area that have restrooms or picnic shelters 3/11/2022 4:58 PM
26 another park is smokey point would be so valuable 3/11/2022 1:29 PM
27 I'm an older adult, so it doesn't bother me, but I see that there aren't decent or adequate 3/11/2022 1:02 PM
playground items for children
28 We just moved in but we've loved the walking trails but the actual parks by us aren't very big 3/11/2022 12:31 PM
and wish they had more to do on them.
29 Its understood that the maintenance crew is doing the best they can maintaining the existing 3/11/2022 12:31 PM
parks -however in order to add more parks of high quality to the city, it is necessary that more
staff get added to the city teams. Please consider this before making promises to improve and
make more parks available to the community.
30 1 value the centennial trail and the parks adjacent to it!! I'm an avid bike rider!! 3/11/2022 12:29 PM
31 Haller Park is our favorite. We rarely go to others because they aren't as family friendly. 3/11/2022 8:33 AM
32 Would be nice if there was a restroom there. 3/10/2022 6:42 PM
33 While river meadows is close as the crow flies there is no way to get to it from our house 3/10/2022 5:51 PM
without driving a half hour around. It could use a bridge. There's nearly no parks near Burn
Road.
34 The bathrooms and water always seem to not be open 3/10/2022 10:02 AM
35 Benches need maintenance and some parks still need to be built after 10+years! 3/10/2022 9:02 AM

36 Would like to see turf fields somewhere in Arlington. Maybe joining with the school district and 3/9/2022 4:45 PM
turf the field at Haller.
37 I've found it difficult to find parks. Signage could be improved. 3/9/2022 8:40 AM
38 Overall we could use more sport courts and field turf fields. Tennis and pickle ball courts would 3/8/2022 9:45 PM
awesome. Extra field turf fields besides the school would be nice.
39 Our big desire is better bike lanes on some of the county roads! Stanwood Bryant, Kackman 3/8/2022 3:48 PM
etc. The parks are nice though,!
40 Arlington has several small spaces to explore sure, however the parks suck! Haller is the only 3/8/2022 1:26 PM
one available that has ok parking and new safe equipment. There is no other option and most
people MUST drive there. I hate the park choices on this town, very limited inventory!!!
41 Start making the parks safer for families 3/8/2022 11:12 AM
42 The parking and the restrooms need great improvement in most of the parks 3/8/2022 6:10 AM
43 Park 31 could be better maintained. The grass can be waste high at times. This may be a 3/8/2022 6:03 AM
county park. It has the potential to be something really special.
44 Too many drug dealers and drug addicts at the parks closest to me. 3/7/2022 8:26 PM

48 They recently started updating the park close to us but I still wouldn't feel safe letting my child 3/4/2022 2:02 PM
hang out there without my supervision
49 Have seen improvements 3/4/2022 1:32 PM
50 Haller Park really needs more shade near the playground and spray park in the summer, and 3/4/2022 1:23 PM
the parking lot and restrooms need a bit more maintenance.
51 The forest connected to Forest Park could be included in the park or become an off lease dog 3/4/2022 11:57 AM
park.
52 Mostly just green areas. 3/4/2022 8:50 AM
53 Arlington has failed to add large space parks which are sorely needed. I am seeing high 3/4/2022 8:22 AM
density housing going up on the corner of 172nd and 67th, and it does not appear there is any
park, open space or even a play area associated with this construction. So families will move
there and children have no place to play. The busy road and sound of traffic will be what they
see from their window. It is concerning that this type of construction, known to be so very
difficult for people's well being, is allowed.
54 need park at Smokey Point 3/4/2022 8:18 AM
55 1 am actually impressed with how many choices there are. But the quality really varies with 3/3/2022 9:27 PM
some quiet nice and others looking tired.
56 A lot of the parks have an increase in illegal activity. It is difficult to feel safe at times. 3/3/2022 7:32 AM
57 Very well maintained 3/3/2022 6:47 AM
58 1 would love more trails 3/2/2022 9:43 PM
59 Any sort of walking or running paths are not safe when we have to cross streets. Especially 3/2/2022 7:23 PM
67th. We have almost been hit by cars multiple times trying to walk to the airport from glen
eagle. Big trucks, people speeding. It's not good. More housing means more pedestrians and
there will be more loss of life if something isn't done to improve walkability conditions.
60 some park facilities need updating; gazebos shelters. Some like Terrace is dark and has 3/2/2022 5:34 PM
become a hang out, and seems to becoming trashy.
61 An indoor pool would be great for kiddo to learn how to swim, basketball courts would be nice, 3/2/2022 6:05 AM
just more activities for kids in general would be nice, there's nothing around here. Thanks!

62 We need better playgrounds and picnic facilities. We would love undercover play areas and 3/1/2022 8:38 AM
toddler specific play areas.
63 1 never use the parks or trails, just a restroom when driving around, if needed 3/1/2022 7:53 AM
64 1 wish we had trees to shade us from the hot heat in the summertime 3/1/2022 12:09 AM
65 Some great-Haller, more day access bathrooms along trails needed 2/28/2022 8:01 PM
66 Better restrooms 2/28/2022 6:58 PM
67 We need more benches and tables. They are always all filled on warm days! 2/28/2022 3:00 PM
68 Would Love To See a park geared towards teens, bigger swings that they can fit in, bigger 2/28/2022 10:37 AM
slides, etc.
69 The parks are definitely improving in town, bathrooms could use some work, and safety from 2/28/2022 7:31 AM
aggressive kids, homeless, and people needs to be monitored more. The worry of my kids
coming across needle is very strong as well.
70 Need bathrooms at Jensen Park (ports potty is in front of handicap space!)and accessible 2/27/2022 6:40 PM
playground options
71 Need basketball hoops there enough room at most parks 2/27/2022 3:45 PM
72 1 would like to see more bathrooms and some events and fun things for kiddos. Especially 2/27/2022 2:37 PM
some new things for babies
73 There seem to be more small playgrounds that kids get board on vs larger ones. 2/27/2022 8:47 AM
74 The play equipment is lame. There's only 1 park in Arlington that has suffice entertaining play 2/27/2022 8:34 AM
equipment and that park isn't easily accessible for residents that don't live downtown.
75 Many of the parks outside of downtown are neglected. 2/26/2022 9:33 PM
76 For people with health issues where they need a bathroom it is not always easy to find one 2/26/2022 9:33 PM
77 Would love to see benches or better yet picnic tables in areas that don't have them. Portage 2/26/2022 9:21 PM
creek for example. Stopping for a break from walking is essential with young kids or those
those with disabilities (and need the exercise the most).
78 This is confusing. Is this asking how I rate the priority of addressing location, quantity, and 2/26/2022 6:55 PM
quality or how I currently rate these aspects of the parks?
79 Bathrooms at Haller park need a longer open season for families! 2/26/2022 4:58 PM
80 1 wish more special needs options 2/26/2022 4:27 PM
81 1 would love to see more parks such as Jennings Marysville park for families. Conserving 2/26/2022 4:11 PM
wildlife and creating walking trails. My family and I used to live near North Creek Trails in
Bothell I'd Love.. to see Arlington create more parks such as this with playgrounds.
82 Arlington really does go above and beyond when it comes to parks 2/26/2022 3:32 PM
83 Lacking in Smokey point a good park 2/26/2022 11:22 AM
84 Well maintained parks and walking area, we don't have any by where I live 2/26/2022 10:39 AM
85 I'm too stressed by overcrowding, traffic jams and no grocery options (as haggen sits empty) 2/26/2022 8:13 AM
86 Country Charm Park is sure sadly a wasted resource, so much potential. I didn't know there 2/26/2022 1:19 AM
was a park 67& Cemetery
87 We especially appreciate the improvements to Haller park. That was one we had stopped going 2/25/2022 11:01 PM
to before due to drug use and the homeless population
88 Would be better if we could reduce drug activity and homelessness. 2/25/2022 7:41 PM
89 There any not any city parks near my house. To get to any my kids would have to go in the 2/25/2022 7:40 AM

94 There are no parks within walking distance, I am rating them lowest in showing that there are 2/20/2022 5:16 PM
none; this survey is confusing, I am not rating them lowest in priority, I think that should all be
highest priority , right now I think they are either nonexistent in my area or low quality; again
this survey is worded strangely

99 More sports courts for kids to play on during non school days 2/18/2022 10:48 PM
100 1 looked up the closest 3 to my home and 1 is open but just a grass area, one is permanently 2/18/2022 8:40 PM
closed and the third is temporarily closed.
101 More events at terrace park would be nice. 2/18/2022 2:16 PM
102 Terrace park could use some upgraded equipment but please don't remove the old merry go 2/18/2022 2:14 PM
round. The new merry go rounds are terrible in comparison (like the one in Haller park, it sucks)
103 Parks with restrooms needed in Smokey Point. The rub is how to keep them from getting 2/18/2022 1:59 PM
messed up by vandals Wor homeless
104 1 miss not having access to Portage Creek Wildlife Sanctuary off of Cemetary Rd. It was 2/18/2022 1:47 PM
wonderful when we used to be able to walk to it from our home in Zone 1.
105 School District discourages (or flat out doesn't allow) use of their grounds for public use. 2/18/2022 12:43 PM
106 Would be nice to have more in Smokey Point area 2/18/2022 11:07 AM
107 1 would like to see more diversity in playground equipment like exsists at Haller Park 2/18/2022 11:05 AM
108 Difficultly finding parking and the over flow of cars on 530 is a major challenge during the 2/18/2022 9:49 AM
summer.
109 The Parks Department is incredibly understaffed and it is impossible for them to be able to 2/18/2022 7:45 AM
keep up with demands on this city. Parks don't create revenue, but they create community and
family. We can't let those values fall by the wayside. As the city constantly grows up
(literally...the constant addition of multi-story residential buildings is staggering), we have to
remember that the city has an obligation to provide safe, clean, and well cared for park areas.
110 Overall very clean and well kept! Love the various trees and lights for Christmas and summer 2/17/2022 6:21 PM
nights in the gazebo.
111 I'm sad and angry about the condition of some of the parks here. Dead trees, overgrown vines 2/17/2022 4:40 PM
and brush. Holes in the ground that are dangerous if stepped in. Probably made by moles and
there's a huge mole problem all over my area. It's getting worse!
112 Keep up the great work, I feel that people don't realize how beneficial parks and trails are, even 2/17/2022 4:23 PM
when they use them already, But the more people realize these benefits, the more people will
utilize the parks, trails, etc. Thanks!
113 Not sure I can speak to the quality as I have not been in a great amount of the parks. 2/17/2022 4:17 PM
114 too many drug addicts, i got mugged one time 2/17/2022 4:16 PM
115 It would help if the restrooms were open 2/17/2022 3:46 PM
116 Overall I think Arlington has done wonderfully with their parks. My main complaint is I no 2/17/2022 1:13 PM
longer use the Centennial trail south of 204th, due to the Marijuana processing plant. That
smoking and vaping isn't allowed in parks is great, but useless if drug processors are allowed
to fill the air by parks with the substances because they aren't on park property.

120 Terrace Park needs loving care. 2/17/2022 7:05 AM
121 1 live within city limits and one of the biggest perks is the many parks available to our family. 2/16/2022 7:53 PM
122 All parks but one have boring play structures and are un-inviting to children older than 6. 2/16/2022 7:13 PM
123 Hoping the quality could be a bit better, not picking up windfall from trees or repairs to terrace 2/16/2022 6:33 PM

124 We have a great selection spread throughout Arlington and do not need more. We need to 2/16/2022 5:36 PM
concentrate on what we have
125 you did not list airport trail 2/16/2022 4:25 PM
126 There is one park within walking distance from me. It is the size of two residential yards. It is 2/16/2022 12:02 PM
used by drug users and criminal activity, thanks to lack of concern by the city.
127 Parks in our area need improvement 2/15/2022 8:15 PM
128 The park closest to us need some work, on the play place and to the landscaping 2/15/2022 6:12 PM
129 Grounds are not maintained enough. brush and berry bushes are over growing. I have replaced 2/15/2022 6:11 PM
net twice over five years and the backboard on the basketball court needs to be re furbished.
130 The closest park that provides, large area of enjoyment for all ages is Twin Rivers Park. We 2/15/2022 4:36 PM
live very close to the Airport Trail and would love to see the woods closest to Stillaguamish
Athletic Center user for a park for all ages. An Ideal location would be adjacent to the new Fire
Staion. Currnently our natural areas are being taken over by office complexes/light industrial
and of course the HUGE Amazon facility. This has already had an impact on the Airport
walking trail.
131 There have been several homeless encounters with them using curse words at my young 2/15/2022 4:27 PM
children.
132 1 would like more trails, easier access to them 2/15/2022 3:29 PM
133 No parks close enough to enjoy. 2/15/2022 3:18 PM
134 Unsafe to walk along or cross Smokey Point 2/15/2022 3:11 PM
135 Haller Park is a great park. I grew up across the street from it and have many wonderful 2/15/2022 2:13 PM
memories. Thanks for adding the"Splash Park" I think that was a wonderful idea for the kids.
136 Haller park is great, wish other parks were as nice. 2/15/2022 2:08 PM
137 The park near me(Woodway)doesn't have much, I don't know why it even exists. 2/15/2022 1:44 PM

140 Jack& I are new to the quaint little town of Arlington Wa and very impressed with the facilities 2/14/2022 6:12 PM

141 1 don't understand this question. I think the parks could do better 2/14/2022 3:52 PM
142 No Parking on the lower or northside of Terrace Park, people visiting the lower part of the park 2/14/2022 3:46 PM
often park in the street interfering with traffic on east division street.
143 1 wonder if something like this https://grassmatsusa.com/reusable-lawn-protection/could be 2/14/2022 1:22 PM
used in Legion Park.
144 Would like to see more emphasis on maintaining existing facilities. The fence around Terrace 2/14/2022 11:46 AM
Park has needed repairs for several years.

23 It is important to remove invasive species, especially around the waterways where it directly 3/2/2022 5:34 PM

the creeks in Gleneagle. We learned a lot about the importance of our natural environment and
the ecosystems that compose it in the K-12 School system. Some day I'd hope that my future
kids could have the same experience, literally getting to see the salmon run through their home

use our resources to create more shelter and areas that will bring these issues deeper into our

14 chairs or a bench seem the most important 3/11/2022 7:16 PM
15 That would add to the beauty of the neighborhood 3/11/2022 1:06 PM
16 How is the city going to handle the extra garbage and litter that will come with more picnic 3/11/2022 12:31 PM
shelters and tables?
17 It would be on the trail 3/10/2022 6:15 PM
18 Especially if it could be in the Burn Road area 3/10/2022 5:51 PM
19 Don't forget the campground that is still in Country Charm Park. It needs to be seriously 3/10/2022 9:02 AM
maintained!
20 More places to sit and possibly have a birthday party would be great. 3/8/2022 7:48 PM
21 Could be good if it's properly maintained. I would hope the city will be provoding trash/recycle 3/8/2022 11:12 AM
bins
22 Picnic tables are less desirable. I would love to see the City main the large grass areas at their 3/8/2022 6:03 AM
parks. There is a very large demand for field sports (both soccer&football); However the fields
that the city owns are not suitable for our athletes. With the exception of the high school, all
the fields within the city are uneven. Family's in both organized and unorganized sports have
to leave the City of Arlington to participate. Family's of all ages, athlete and non athletes want
a safe WIDE OPEN space to let their kids run. Picnic tables alone do not promote gatherings.
23 O think we need to deal with the homeless problem in Arlington before we add more shelters 3/7/2022 7:43 PM
for them to hang out in. And by taking care of this problem, I don't mean putting them in jail, I
mean actually helping them get the treatment they need.
24 They would become a spot for the homeless to hangout and sleep at. 3/7/2022 7:31 AM
25 My family loves picnics 3/6/2022 3:44 PM
26 1 live in the upper left corner of this map and there is nothing nearby at all. 3/4/2022 10:53 PM
27 We need more trees and shade at Haller park 3/4/2022 10:12 PM
28 Parks are my biggest concern but it is nice to have shaded areas and benches at the parks. 3/4/2022 9:51 PM
29 My only concern becomes creating more opportunities for garbage people would pack in, but 3/3/2022 9:27 PM
either not pack out and wondering about ongoing care and cleaning.
30 with the number of apartments going up this would give families more outdoor areas to hang 3/3/2022 7:36 PM
out
31 We need more covered areas because of the rain 3/3/2022 6:47 AM
32 Trails would be nice, but I don't care for picnic stuff. 3/2/2022 9:43 PM
33 while adding picinic areas in nice, I am more concerned with the number of garbage cans 3/2/2022 5:34 PM
available near these benches. I see throughout the Centennial trail, numerous benches and
hardly any garbage/recycling recepticals. I think if you are going to invite someone to sit down,
slow down and enjoy the parks that you also need to expect a certain amount of trash to
accompany it. as someone who picks up trash on my walks, I often look for places to dispose
of what I pick up and find very little, convenient or intuative places where garbage cans are. If
there is a bench, there should be a can.
34 Parks are abundant, but so are the homeless. They encroach in our parks and ruin the beauty 3/2/2022 9:54 AM
and lessen families and children using them.
35 My husband is disabled and having someplace to stop and rest is most excellent. 3/1/2022 7:58 PM
36 Nice idea but would be overtaken but the druggies and homeless. 3/1/2022 7:17 PM

Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey
37 We use our personal property for BBQing and eating outside 3/1/2022 7:53 AM
38 Sounds nice, but I don't want the homeless to claim it as a home 3/1/2022 12:09 AM
39 Not nearly enough picnic shelters given our climate. 2/28/2022 11:25 PM
40 This is incredibly important, COVID-19 isn't going anywhere and we need more outdoor 2/28/2022 7:41 PM
gathering places
41 Instead of buying new one how about maintaining what we already have 2/26/2022 9:33 PM
42 You read my mind. See comments above. Twin lakes could use more seating too for for bird 2/26/2022 9:21 PM
watchers in the winter.
43 Needed 2/26/2022 4:11 PM
44 I'm sorry I feel the vagrants would destroy these spaces 2/26/2022 8:13 AM
45 Would love to see one at High Clover Park 2/22/2022 9:01 AM
46 1 think there need to be more parks first and then figure out what makes sense for each 2/20/2022 5:16 PM
location; this one size fits all does not work
47 This is for all the apt.dwellers enough wasted plans for small town now crowded messy 2/19/2022 10:28 PM
48 Good, as long as they are maintained. Will there be restrooms? 2/19/2022 9:35 AM
49 1 live in an area of high density apartments. A place to go for picnics is important 2/18/2022 2:35 PM
50 If anything the picnic areas need cleaned up more regularly, broken bottles and trash. 2/18/2022 2:14 PM
51 Why do I see nothing on the map for Smokey Point east of SPBlvd.? 2/18/2022 1:59 PM
52 1 don't think these get used frequently enough. I mostly see younger kids use them as hangout 2/18/2022 11:54 AM
spots rather than picnic areas. It's not a bad thing, but I think funds could be better allocated
elsewhere.
53 We do need more gathering areas and trails. Would like to stress the need for easily 2/18/2022 9:49 AM
accessible parking again.
54 This falls in line with my previous comments. Providing a place for families to gather is more 2/18/2022 7:45 AM
important to our community than we know. Probably more important than ever.
55 Already a good number as is. 2/17/2022 6:21 PM
56 Are they going to be kept up properly?! 2/17/2022 4:40 PM
57 Very exciting! 2/17/2022 4:23 PM
58 1 would say it depends on how many of the other picnic areas are being used and to what 2/17/2022 4:17 PM
capacity.
59 we have a lot and drug addicts use them all 2/17/2022 4:16 PM
60 Picnic areas typically get abused and become trashed. 2/17/2022 12:10 PM
61 It's great for family and friends to be able to have a safe place to gather and have outdoor 2/17/2022 9:54 AM
activities and picnics.
62 Would love access to boardwalk through nature area for wildlife viewing 2/16/2022 7:41 PM
63 We have a trail system in centennial and airport trails. We don't need the expense of another 2/16/2022 5:36 PM
64 Again, needs to be kept clean of graffiti and homeless 2/16/2022 5:06 PM
65 sounds like Disneyland 2/16/2022 4:25 PM
66 Rudy York Park is a crime and drug center. 2/16/2022 12:02 PM
67 Please develop Country Charm Park 2/15/2022 5:54 PM
68 Absolutely do not have adequate park of any kind in the Smokey Point area of Arlington. 2/15/2022 4:36 PM
Would love to see something like a Jennings park in Smokey Point. The areas surrounding the
airport could definitly support a wonderful park. Especially in the area close to where the air

Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey
show is held each year and where there is storage, etc.... WE NEED MORE PARKS and less
industrial buildings. Even the Strawberry fields etc could be enhanced to be more enjoyable
with trees, picnic, trails, etc.
69 people use parks when they are clean, maintained and have shelter from sun or rain. 2/15/2022 4:18 PM
70 this would only cause the wildlife to abandon their homes. these areas should be only for 2/15/2022 1:44 PM
hiking. In residential areas it would be nice
71 Leave it natural 2/15/2022 10:39 AM
72 Excellent Plan 2/14/2022 6:12 PM
73 The newly installed metal benches and tables on Gilman Walk may be vandal resistant but are 2/14/2022 11:46 AM
uninviting in appearance and function.

Q5 MULTIUSE TRAILS - under the proposed plan, the city could develop a
multiuse trail network to provide connections to parks, schools, and other
community destinations that access all residential areas. The trail
segments would be designed for hike, bike, and dog use depending on
environmental constraints and neighborhood property impacts. The
proposal would install wayfinding signage and directories along the trail
corridors. How important is this proposal to you?

1 This would increase the walk ability of the town. That would be amazing. 3/23/2022 6:54 PM
2 Unless patrolled, this will attract homeless and/or drugs/crime 3/23/2022 3:54 PM
3 Arlington residents need more trails and places to take dogs. 3/22/2022 7:03 AM
4 that's good 3/20/2022 7:50 PM
5 Drug addicts would take them over and ruin it. 3/20/2022 4:45 PM
6 Adding more trails to help connect them would be a great way to connect the community and 3/18/2022 1:48 PM
explore outside the existing trails. More connections should lead to higher outdoor recreation
for families
7 Especially good to have dog access on leashes 3/18/2022 10:35 AM
8 Get shoulders in good working order and provide good trails for people to not be next to 3/15/2022 9:50 AM

9 Would like to see these trails be paved so they are no maintenance for the city... 3/15/2022 9:03 AM
10 Again, Please do not creat paths that lead to and from our neighborhoods. Keep them at parks 3/14/2022 9:08 AM

12 1 sometimes walk or bike to downtown Arlington I have found it to be very dangerous to be on 3/11/2022 4:58 PM
a bike or walking when i exit the airport trail near Cemetery Rd (204th St NE)& 54th Dr NE to
get the the downtown area. Road is narrow, traffic is fast and there are no sidewalks until I get
close to 67th Ave NE
13 It's nice to be able to get direction/info on the various parks and trails, to be able to find them 3/11/2022 12:29 PM
14 Have concerns regarding some of the trails and would like more information regarding them 3/10/2022 6:42 PM
15 1 worry about safety for children in hidden corridors. 3/10/2022 5:51 PM
16 What about the abandoned trail network at Country Charm Park? 3/10/2022 9:02 AM
17 Would love more safe and planned walking trails. 3/10/2022 8:44 AM
18 Not super important to me. 3/8/2022 7:48 PM
19 Disaster for people loving on the trail. There is no Policing the people who trespass,leave 3/8/2022 11:12 AM
garbage and ride atv and motorbikes on the trails.
20 Signage is not important and creates additional maintenance that doesn't really add an 3/8/2022 6:03 AM
attraction to trails. Maintained trails is what attracts folks to using them.
21 1 rely on trails to exercise my dog and myself, more would be fantastic! 3/7/2022 9:00 PM
22 This would be great for those of us that love walking as exercise 3/6/2022 3:44 PM
23 More trails and a dog park!!!! 3/5/2022 10:28 AM
24 connecting centennial trail to the white horse trail is going to be huge, I will use it often to ride 3/4/2022 10:53 PM
my bike.
25 From where I live an additional trail would be difficult. The trail that is currently there has many 3/4/2022 9:51 PM
stairs so biking isn't possible.
26 Stop developing! 3/4/2022 7:10 PM
27 Parking at multiple access points. 3/4/2022 8:50 AM
28 The single project that improved my standard of living in Arlington was the Centennial Trail-a 3/4/2022 8:22 AM
county park. I have used the trail hundreds of times. All trails in Arlington should be connected
to the Centennial Trail.
29 1 think the Centennial trail is a good example of how this would add great value. Often it is 3/3/2022 9:27 PM
more about the journey with end point destinations. The ability to travel between parks without
having to go on streets would be great. It is a way to explore and discover.
30 this would be awesome and more inviting for bike rides and walks 3/3/2022 7:36 PM
31 1 love the idea of more trails 3/3/2022 6:47 AM
32 Yes please! There is no where to walk in Smokey point 3/2/2022 9:43 PM
33 Again, these trails are great, but if the homeless are taking over, families will not use them. 3/2/2022 9:54 AM
Enforce and deter homelessness!
34 Need something for ATV use. 3/1/2022 7:17 PM
35 We live rural and enjoy the quiet, less people and traffic. 3/1/2022 7:53 AM
36 Thank you for providing, walkers, joggers, bikers and nature enthusiasts places to enjoy the 2/28/2022 8:01 PM
beauty of our community
37 High visibility would be important for our community members safety 2/28/2022 7:31 AM
38 There are no off-leash dog parks in Arlington. Please make this TOP PRIORITY 2/27/2022 10:21 PM
39 pave them for true accessibility! 2/27/2022 6:40 PM
40 Keep bikes and pedestrians separate 2/26/2022 9:33 PM

42 It would be great to have a bike path on 211th st. Cars drive so fast and it is not safe for bikes. 2/26/2022 5:25 PM
43 Would be too many Druggies& homeless for them to be safe for kids and women 2/26/2022 4:58 PM
44 Cennential trail is too crowded and impedes with the flow of traffic with the inadequate roads 2/26/2022 8:13 AM

46 Off leash dog park is highest 2/25/2022 9:52 PM

49 Horse trails 2/21/2022 6:18 PM
50 Would love to see a sidewalk/walkway along Cemetery Road from 47th to 67th. 2/20/2022 9:25 PM
51 As a community we have lost vast amounts of trails for biking, walking, & dogs, to 2/20/2022 5:16 PM
development; another example of Arlington caring more about getting business money in rather
than taking care of its citizens
52 Not needed 2/19/2022 10:28 PM
53 This would help with active transportation to get around, too... not just recreation. 2/19/2022 9:35 AM
54 More trails for hoodlums 2/19/2022 7:23 AM
55 I use Centennial Trail on a regular basis and would like to see more connections between 2/18/2022 3:20 PM
trails.
56 As population increases, I think pedestrian walkways are very important. I lived in Marysvilles 2/18/2022 11:54 AM
for 2 years recently, and it is not fun to walk around parts of Marysville. Not only for safety
reasons (poorly lit) but they're often litter ridden and poorly maintained.
57 Already plenty of access as is. 2/17/2022 6:21 PM
58 Fantastic! 2/17/2022 4:23 PM
59 1 love the trail systems, even though I am getting too old to use them like I would like to. Too 2/17/2022 4:17 PM
old to be alone on a trail.
60 we have a lot and it's nice 2/17/2022 4:16 PM
61 As long as you have working sidewalks this will be unnecessary. 2/17/2022 3:46 PM
62 It's a great idea, but the city would need to find some way to keep the homeless from using 2/17/2022 9:54 AM
these areas for camping and living, they need to be safe for families and people walking alone.
63 1 really like this one... 2/17/2022 5:25 AM
64 We don't need freaking trails. We don't need spots for homeless to camp out and enter into 2/16/2022 7:13 PM
peoples backyards. We NEED BETTER ROADS DUE TO ALL THE APARTMENTS AND
COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS YOU ARE BRINGING INTO THIS CITY.
65 All this would do is introduce the criminal element to new areas 2/16/2022 5:06 PM
66 nice get a full day to enjoy Arlington from different points 2/16/2022 4:25 PM
67 Getting to the airport extension from my neighborhood, highland view estates, is almost 2/16/2022 4:20 PM
impossible to do safely right now. Any improvements made would be appreciated
68 The safer it is for bicycling, the better! 2/15/2022 5:54 PM
69 Love the multiuse trails! 2/15/2022 5:48 PM
70 1 would love to see the Airport trail system incorporated into a park like Jennings Park. 2/15/2022 4:36 PM
Beautiful trees already in existence, etc.
71 Please include fenced dog park areas for off leash. 2/15/2022 4:18 PM
72 Please add more sidewalks and safe street/ highway crossings 2/15/2022 3:11 PM
73 This would be ok if its safe for the community,maybe using cameras to keep out unsafe people 2/15/2022 1:44 PM

proposal would design age-appropriate features for young and older age
children. The proposal would upgrade some existing playground equipment
to meet ADA requirements, safety concerns, and new activity interests.

1 Seems to be plenty of children parks, we need adult nature trails 3/24/2022 12:26 PM
2 New equipment would be so great! Our playgrounds are aging and inaccessible to kids with 3/23/2022 6:54 PM
disabilities. This would give kids more safe places to play!
3 Absolutely, parks for the kids! 3/23/2022 3:54 PM
4 Kids need more places to play with all these developments with no yards and apartments that 3/22/2022 7:03 AM
are being allowed.
5 yes 3/20/2022 7:50 PM
6 1 would recommend not including the HOA miniparks and schools in this-have them use their 3/18/2022 1:48 PM
funds to front this and add these to the local parks where families can bring their kids to play.
7 Many ADA upgrades are needed in the entire Arlington area. 3/18/2022 10:35 AM
8 Several play areas need upgrading 3/16/2022 12:07 PM
9 Our current equipment is not in great shape at most parks and needs some attention, need 3/15/2022 9:50 AM
more staff to maintain a great level of service
10 Upgrading the playgrounds seem to drive out the negative activity. 3/15/2022 9:03 AM
11 1 see kids playing in Terrance Park almost daily, which I enjoy. The basketball court needs to 3/13/2022 4:20 PM
be updated. The old staircase should have a second railing for safety.

12 Again, who is going to be responsible for updating and maintaining all this new infrastructure? 3/11/2022 12:31 PM
(s p?)
13 valuable that these will be and some are available for kids so the time is not spent on technical 3/11/2022 12:29 PM
pieces (phones, computers.....)
14 Here's the thing. "Safe"playgrounds are not fun for kids. There's no element of challenge and 3/10/2022 5:51 PM
they don't want to play. I have seven children ages 1-20 and I have been to a park or two.
Please don't get rid of run park activities like merry go round. Add challenge, balance beams,
bars, climbing walls. Playgrounds with a theme are great-pirate ship, castle, doll house/play
house. Most park playgrounds are being made so boring it's not worth taking them. Slides
need to be long and swings need to go high.
15 Where I live- I feel like this is well done already! 3/10/2022 2:59 PM
16 No kids so personally this is not a high priority 3/10/2022 8:44 AM

19 again maintence.....City or Tax payers? 3/8/2022 11:12 AM
20 Parks with play areas and structures are wonderful! Garbage can however are often 3/8/2022 6:03 AM
overflowing and aren't necessarily maintained well. Power washing the play structures once a
year or every other year, along with weekly clean ups would be a great addition. Again
maintaining grassy area to promote safe place to run would be a wonderful benefit to the parks.
A large covered play structure would promote getting out during our wet weather seasons.
21 Play areas would be nice, but still another area where homeless would hang out 3/7/2022 7:31 AM
22 All existing playground equipment should meet ADA requirements. 3/5/2022 5:38 PM
23 This is very important! My housing community has a small playground but it is not safe nor fun 3/4/2022 9:51 PM
for my kids. It's basic and run down
24 #18 Hartland homes mini-parks have been removed, with no plan to replace! 3/4/2022 4:30 PM
25 Again, more Pickleball please 3/4/2022 3:25 PM
26 Terrace Park playground could really use improvement. Despite being within walking distance 3/4/2022 1:23 PM
of Haller Park, I prefer to drive my daughter to Terrace Park during the summer when it's hot
due to the plentiful shade, but the playground is rather pitiful in comparision.
27 As the city grows with new big industry child care and safe areas will be in demand 3/4/2022 8:54 AM
28 Include swings, not just climbing structures. 3/4/2022 8:50 AM
29 1 think a few of these is a good idea, but again I worry about long term care and cleanliness. 3/3/2022 9:27 PM
Fewer but larger and well cared for is better than lots of small ones, that eventually become
run down and dirty.
30 this is very much needed! 3/3/2022 7:36 PM
31 Kids always love more play structures 3/3/2022 6:47 AM
32 1 definitely think some of the parks need a refresh of equipment. Please don't get rid of the 3/2/2022 5:34 PM
merry-go-round at Terrace park!!
33 Again, homeless individuals are hanging around parks, such as Haller. Homeless camps 3/2/2022 9:54 AM
popping up. Safety should be a priority in parks.
34 Kids need to spend time outdoors and stay active 3/1/2022 7:58 PM

44 Look at parks in Rexburg and the big one in Rigby Idaho for ideas 2/27/2022 8:47 AM
45 1 have a child in a wheelchair. This would be amazing. 2/27/2022 7:39 AM
46 We definitely need more ADA accommodations through out Arlington 2/26/2022 10:39 AM
47 Less apartment cities allowed please. 2/26/2022 8:13 AM
48 Good to build community 2/26/2022 1:19 AM
49 They are too often vandalized Orr left unmaintained 2/25/2022 3:37 PM
50 There should be playgrounds that have safe/fun equipment for all kids. 2/25/2022 7:40 AM
51 Adding a play area at High Clover Park is super important as Heartland Homes HOA just 2/22/2022 9:01 AM
removed theirs in late 2021. There are no play areas near this area of town.
52 Other than near schools & downtown there are very few playgrounds 2/20/2022 5:16 PM
53 No police protection for children around drug activity not adressed 2/19/2022 10:28 PM
54 Good for families, to get kids and parents away from their phone/gadget/screens. 2/19/2022 9:35 AM
55 My 1 year old got his teeth kick out on swings. I prefer all the upgrades and safety 2/19/2022 7:23 AM
56 Access to playgrounds and play areas encourages families to play outdoors and contributes to 2/18/2022 3:20 PM
high quality of life.
57 Because of so much high density housing 2/18/2022 2:35 PM
58 New playground would be nice but please leave old one alone, they are more fun for the kids. 2/18/2022 2:16 PM
Like the spinning wheel at Terrace please don't replace it, my kids love it.
59 Please don't replace the Terrace park merry go round! 2/18/2022 2:14 PM
60 Rivercresat Estates has a unmaintained playground that the City could take over. for use of 2/18/2022 12:30 PM
the adjoining neighborhoods. The play area goes unused because of poor maintenance. There
are a lot of young families within a 5 mile radius that could benefit from a playground and
picnic facility.
61 Meeting ADA and safety concerns are a high priority! Please do that! "New activity interests" 2/18/2022 10:22 AM
are low priority for our household.
62 We live very close to a playground. I absolutely love that kids can go there and play. It's open, 2/18/2022 7:45 AM
clean, and very visible. It's a great space for kids to get outdoors.
63 1 think adding ADA upgrades would be great. More important than developing new parks, for 2/17/2022 6:21 PM
instance.
64 Very good for early health benefits for kids, sounds stellar! 2/17/2022 4:23 PM
65 1 love playgrounds for kids, but I do worry about the liability. 2/17/2022 4:17 PM
66 we have plenty 2/17/2022 4:16 PM
67 Doesn't matter if you put them in if you can't maintain the m 2/17/2022 3:46 PM

69 Living in city limits with a small child, playgrounds are extremely important to our family 2/16/2022 7:53 PM
70 my family and I would love to have access to play equipment that allows for wheelchair 2/16/2022 7:41 PM
access on park equipment
71 There's not much for kids to do in this city. 2/16/2022 7:13 PM
72 A 10 minute walk is more than acceptable. Any new housing developments should put in a 2/16/2022 5:36 PM
park for the residents and the users should be paying for the up keep with hoa
73 As long as they're all maintained, which hasn't been the case with most 2/16/2022 5:06 PM
74 Smokey Point Meadows is in my neighborhood. We do use it but it is really quite sub-standard. 2/15/2022 4:36 PM
It was upgraded a couple years ago but is has not ages well at all. There is a shed on the
property that is accesible to anyone which could potentially invite undesirables. I could
suggest making it a more pleasant destination with benches, picnic area and plantins. The play
structure is actually pretty awful
75 Homeless issues in parks near young children 2/15/2022 4:27 PM
76 With so many homes with little or no yard space, kids need parks to be fun and stimulating. 2/15/2022 4:18 PM
77 Need more sidewalks and safe ways to cross streets and highways. 2/15/2022 3:11 PM

Q7 SPORT COURTS - under the proposed plan, the city could develop
sport courts to provide multiuse basketball, pickleball, volleyball, and other
activities within a 5-minute walking distance of most residential areas of
the city. The proposal would upgrade some existing basketball courts to
increase surface and equipment durability, meet safety concerns, and
accommodate new activity interests. How important is this proposal to
you?

1 We need more fields for sports. The availability to get lines on fields for sports is hard if it's not 3/28/2022 5:00 PM
soccer or football. Lacrosse is much needed and getting larger in our area. The fields we play
on havi mg to be combined with all other sports takes it toll on the fields. We need to consider
more terf fields. We also need to take in more consideration that all sports should be able to be
lined for fields they need. Especially for the student athletes on school property. These
lacrosse players deserve the same as football and soccer.
2 Preserve nature, do not add more manmade 3/24/2022 12:26 PM
3 Again need facilities for youth programs but not limited to court sports, rather field sports are in 3/23/2022 3:13 PM
higher demand. Twin rivers revamp would be perfect for field sports.
4 yes get our teens involved so they have healthy places 3/20/2022 7:50 PM
5 We need a public pool. 3/20/2022 4:45 PM
6 This is a great way to update and add on additional sports courts. Adding options such as to 3/18/2022 1:48 PM

courses would be great.
7 Too noisy if near residences 3/18/2022 10:35 AM

10 A freesbie golf course along a trail may be a good idea. I saw one in Carnation. 3/13/2022 4:20 PM
11 1 think it would be great to have a full sized basketball court on the west side of legion park. 3/12/2022 11:15 AM
This could be a nice way to attract youth to that area
12 1 have lived in Smokey point since 1997 when York Park was developed It has been the place 3/11/2022 4:58 PM
for many kids to play basketball As the apartment population continues to increase these kids
need a place to play.
13 that's just b/c I don't have children or grandchildren in the area. I think it is very valuable 3/11/2022 12:29 PM
though!!!
14 The old Hagans would be a great place to add a sport court next to the swimming pool 3/10/2022 6:15 PM
15 How about a multi use stage area too. Some kids have sports that are not on a court. We have 3/10/2022 5:51 PM
zero places in the community to train.
16 Pickleball please! 3/10/2022 8:44 AM
17 Basketball 3/8/2022 9:48 PM
18 Spend the money on the schools equipment and fields. 3/8/2022 11:12 AM
19 The map references schools; however the elementary schools are all locked off and cannot be 3/8/2022 6:03 AM
accessible during non-school hours. Basketball courts under lights would be a huge plus at
Hall and/or Terrace Park. The Judy Park in Smokey point needs to me mimicked at Jenson
Park.
20 Need fields with lights not just for baseball. There are any other sports that need fields and the 3/7/2022 12:26 PM
city only had one at quake with no lights.
21 Basketball courts!! 3/5/2022 10:28 AM
22 Pickle ball would be amazing. Sports courts would give safe things for teens to do. 3/4/2022 9:51 PM
23 Yes, please! 3/4/2022 3:25 PM
24 Tennis courts are suggested over basketball for crowd type concerns 3/4/2022 8:54 AM
25 Pickleball courts are must! 3/4/2022 8:50 AM

27 A basketball court would be amazing 3/3/2022 6:47 AM
28 Covered basketball courts!! 3/2/2022 9:43 PM
29 Build it, and they will come; I think it's important for kids to get out and play. If more areas had 3/2/2022 5:34 PM
courts, they would be used.
30 It would just attract crimes and careless people to quiet neighborhoods. It would make an even 3/1/2022 7:53 AM
ground for tent and RV dwellers.
31 Great to get some hockey nets available. Street hockey is getting big 2/28/2022 10:33 PM
32 Work all the rain, it would be nice to have some of these courts covered. So we can utilize 2/28/2022 10:37 AM
these spaces during bad weather, which we have more often than not
33 Very much needs basketball courts and other sports 2/27/2022 3:45 PM
34 It looks is hard to find tennis courts and pickle ball would be great to add for all ages 2/26/2022 9:33 PM
35 My family loves sports and I love the walking trails 2/26/2022 4:11 PM

46 Rivercresat Estates has a unmaintained basketball court that the City could take over for use 2/18/2022 12:30 PM
of the adjoining neighborhoods. The court goes unused most of the time because it is in poor

safe place to play.
47 Public Tennis Court PLEASE! 2/18/2022 11:05 AM
48 People in sports already have facilities to play in, I would rather there be more trails and green 2/18/2022 10:22 AM

1 How about lacrosse and football fields 3/28/2022 9:02 PM
2 We need more fields for sports. The availability to get lines on fields for sports is hard if it's not 3/28/2022 5:00 PM
soccer or football. Lacrosse is much needed and getting larger in our area. The fields we play

more terf fields. We also need to take in more consideration that all sports should be able to be
lined for fields they need. Especially for the student athletes on school property. These
lacrosse players deserve the same as football and soccer. The field at Haller and post need
work. We need fields like Lake Tye Park in Monroe!!! Lots of Arlington people go there to play
sports as well as use their trails and parks.
3 It is embarrassing that Arlingron does not have atheistic fields like other cities. There are so 3/25/2022 6:38 PM
many youth sports programs and not enough places where our youth can practice and be
competitive.
4 1 believe you should look at the fields at Lake Tye Park in Monroe and learn from them. You 3/23/2022 11:17 PM
should develop a multi use field with lining for baseball, soccer and Lacrosse. Yes that's right
Lacrosse is growing In Arlington and the fields at Haller and Post are very poor and almost to
dangerous to compete on
5 Need more fields for sports like lacrosse and football which are so common and popular in 3/23/2022 4:44 PM
Arlington!!
6 Lacrosse!!! You have a club that supports kids K-12 and are struggling to find fields! Most 3/23/2022 3:54 PM
cities allow practice/play on school turf fields or have turf multi-use fields with lights.
7 Definitely need this! 3/23/2022 3:13 PM
8 Our school fields are horrible. Our kids are forced to play on outdated and unsafe fields. We as 3/23/2022 3:06 AM
38/58
Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey
parents at the schools,as well as having kids who play little league baseball are not allowed to
make any improvements to these fields, even if it's filling in huge holes. The schools say that
the maintenance department is in charge of the fields but they refuse to do anything. I don't
understand the politics involved but it's for the kids... if your able to help with improving the
schools fields, that may be able to solve soo many issues. In the end, it is about the kids,
right??????
9 there is enough 3/20/2022 7:50 PM
10 We also need a public swimming pool. 3/20/2022 4:45 PM
11 Again, having the school districts fund this for their areas is my recommendation. 3/18/2022 1:48 PM
12 Need to take better care and stay on top of maintenance of the current fields as well, need 3/15/2022 9:50 AM
more staff to maintain a great level of service
13 The city should buy the old track and field near the hospital. I would love to walk around a 3/13/2022 4:20 PM
rubber track with exercise stations. Presently, it is locked and goes unused.
14 There are many busy roads between the smokey point neighborhood and the ball fields on east 3/11/2022 4:58 PM
side of airport Would be nice to have ball fields closer
15 kids need other diversions than the computer and glad our community is doing this/planning 3/11/2022 12:29 PM
this!!
16 It would be nice to have more playing fields 3/10/2022 6:15 PM
17 See above. 3/10/2022 5:51 PM
18 This would be amazing. 3/9/2022 4:45 PM

20 Spend the money on the SCHOOLS. 3/8/2022 11:12 AM
21 Arlington Residents currently have to leave the City to find a decent field to kick a soccer ball, 3/8/2022 6:03 AM
play football or even throw a frisbee. Twin Rivers, Jensen park, Haller park all have large
uneven grassy area; however the uneven grounds are not suitable for field sports and non of
which have sufficient parking. Field sports promote healthy activities for both boys and girls.
22 Basketball courts, we need more 3/5/2022 10:28 AM
23 1 need more exercise! 3/4/2022 3:25 PM
24 I'm good with Country Charm, but school fields would open up too much liability for the City 3/4/2022 8:18 AM

competitive and succesful.
26 Yes!!!!! 3/3/2022 6:47 AM
27 1 think Country Charm should be left as a natural area. We already have Quake field for 3/2/2022 5:34 PM
baseball/soccer etc.
28 Our favorite place to walk to river is country charm 3/1/2022 7:58 PM
29 Nothing we'd ever use or visit 3/1/2022 7:53 AM
30 How would we be paying for this? 3/1/2022 12:09 AM
31 We do not have enough ball fields for lacrosse and we need more turf fields because the grass 2/26/2022 9:33 PM
fields are dangerous and cause injuries. Maybe we can partner with some of the bigger
businesses to help sponsor turf fields. The high school will not let the high school age lacrosse
team use it
32 More automobile access please 2/26/2022 8:13 AM

important but is s00000 dark and kinda creepy. If some NOT all the trees were removed to let

16 Spend the money on the Schools 3/8/2022 11:12 AM
17 1 think festival are best promoted in downtown Arlington. This also promotes supporting our 3/8/2022 6:03 AM
small business owners along Olympic.
18 It would be nice for additional town events to have a place to occur 3/4/2022 9:51 PM
19 Although well intended, I would hate to see funds used for this proposed area(#5)and feel it 3/4/2022 4:30 PM
would create more problems with crime, vandalism, drug use, and homelessness.
20 Community events need a nice venue 3/4/2022 3:25 PM
21 Love this idea too 3/3/2022 6:47 AM
22 Legion park has become too small for big events 3/2/2022 7:23 PM
23 1 think building at Smokey Point Blvd would be an attraction for the unsavory types that are 3/2/2022 5:34 PM
common in the area.
24 We loved going to events such as movie/music in the park 3/1/2022 7:58 PM
25 Nothing we'd ever use 3/1/2022 7:53 AM
26 That would be nice 3/1/2022 12:09 AM
27 make the farmers market area not on grass, so difficult to get around with wheel chair or 2/27/2022 6:40 PM
stroller!
28 Would love more options to hold birthday parties since my child's birthday is not in a month 2/27/2022 2:37 PM
that can be outside
29 1 think the new stage at legion park is great and we need more areas like that. 2/26/2022 9:33 PM
30 Would be Amazing for our community! The downtown isn't going to be able to support our 2/26/2022 4:11 PM
growing community for special events fund raising events movie in the park events would be
wonderful!!
31 Wonderful 2/26/2022 10:39 AM
32 More roads please 2/26/2022 8:13 AM
33 Good to build community, especially as we grow 2/26/2022 1:19 AM
34 We need a city swimming pool 2/25/2022 3:23 PM
35 They need to be kept clean and useable 2/25/2022 7:40 AM
36 1 think we have quite a few areas now that can be used for this 2/20/2022 5:16 PM
37 Enough already no parking too many people in our town,we are not big city 2/19/2022 10:28 PM
38 Could be useful for tourism events 2/19/2022 9:35 AM
39 2/19/2022 7:23 AM
40 A-TOWN COULD BECOME A HUB FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WHICH IS A VERY GOOD 2/18/2022 5:38 PM
THING.
41 These events are good for local business and economy. 2/18/2022 2:14 PM
42 It would be nice to have more outdoor social gathering spots, especially with Covid! 2/17/2022 6:21 PM
43 Great idea! 2/17/2022 4:23 PM
44 Better to have some multi-use fields. Saves land and money. 2/17/2022 4:17 PM
45 we don't need anymore 2/17/2022 4:16 PM
46 We already have in downtown areas 2/16/2022 5:36 PM

down streets.
48 This area is known for their many festivals and gathering spaces. I like the idea of making 2/16/2022 4:02 PM
more of these available to take the pressure off downtown Arlington.
49 Yes, please! AGain, I highly recommend the areas in and around the airport trail system. The 2/15/2022 4:36 PM
areas near the new firestation and the areas along 43 where they are preparing to put in a
round-about woud be lovely. There is a nice mixture of fields, trees and trails that would lend
very nicely to a a suburban park system. Would also make a lovely area for all the new
workers in the abundance of new business complexes...
50 love when local neighborhoods can come together like this 2/15/2022 4:18 PM
51 More crosswalks, bike lanes, and sidewalks in Smokey Point Blvd proposed area. 2/15/2022 3:11 PM
52 dont need this to waste money on this .there are plenty of places to have celebrations. 2/15/2022 1:44 PM
53 But country charm could not support large amount of traffic 2/14/2022 3:52 PM
54 Please don't ruin Country Charm. 2/14/2022 1:22 PM

# RESPONSES DATE
1 Would like to see a large park with turf fields, play areas, skate park all in one like lake tye 3/28/2022 9:02 PM
area in Monroe. Possibly the area south of smokey point, park 26 on first map. A place open
for youth sports, practices and games like lacrosse! Unfortunately the strawberry fields are
unavailable for any club/youth sports other than soccer!
2 We need more outdoor ares for older children. Fields for Lacrosse, Baseball, Soccer. Need 3/28/2022 7:02 PM
courts for Basketball and area nets for Hockey. Frisbee golf area plus a dog run. Place up in
Mount Vernon us great for all this
3 Please include restrooms in the parks that are open and well-maintained. Parks without 3/28/2022 6:05 PM
restrooms are useless.
4 We need a sports complex like at Stanwood high school as well as lake Tye park in Monroe. 3/28/2022 5:00 PM
That is much needed for our area! These student athletes deserve an area like that as our
Arlington lacrosse players are the only ones in the area who don't have terf or a good field to
play on. Other areas don't like to come to Arlington homes games because of our field
conditions. It's rather embarrassing. Our fields become the laughing stock of sports around the
area. These kids deserve better when they put there all into sports they love. Especially the
fastest up and coming sport in the area such as Lacrosse.
5 We enjoyed spray park 3/28/2022 10:10 AM
6 1 would love better sports fields in our area that can be used for multi-sports including a turf 3/25/2022 4:14 PM
area that would require very little maintenance.
7 Preserve the country and wildlife. Stop building!!! 3/24/2022 12:26 PM
8 We have a young and successful youth and high school lacrosse club in the City Of Arlington 3/23/2022 11:17 PM
that is having issues through the school district to get the availability to use the turf fields at
the High School when they allow youth football and soccer clubs use the fields. I would really
love to see our high school athletes get the ability to play on their own turf field but
unfortunately that doesn't look like an option for my high school athletes.
9 No 3/23/2022 6:54 PM
10 1 would really like to see less of the apartments and pot growing facilities. We can smell those 3/23/2022 5:45 PM
from the schools it is terrible!!! Less growth!
11 1 live in Marysville right next to Arlington 3/23/2022 5:25 PM
12 We live outside of the city limits, and our son goes to school in Everett, but we do want to 3/23/2022 3:54 PM
support Arlington sports. It's hard when other clubs have more to offer in the way of fields.
13 I'm really passionate about the athletic fields for the kids and adults. Please please read my 3/23/2022 3:06 AM
response to the above. The school baseball fields really need a ton of work. They are a safety
hazard and if you guys can help, that would be amazing. Please contact me if you any
questions!!! Momof2boys2617@gmail.com

18 1 think it would be great to improve the parks. I wonder about the long term cost, how many 3/19/2022 9:12 AM
workers will be needed to staff.
19 Arlington is such a beautiful city and has so much to offer. Bringing the community together 3/18/2022 1:48 PM
within the parks with added trail systems and larger community areas would be great!
20 More community gardens. More safe ADA accessible public restrooms. Better handicap 3/18/2022 10:35 AM

implemented when the City of Arlington has enough staff and a budget to properly maintain
them.

26 1 would like to see increased parking space at the most popular parks, access to public bus 3/15/2022 4:27 PM
stops at parks, and Whitehorse trail be paved from Arlington to Darrington :)
27 Need more staff to maintain a great level of service, for the community and its visitors 3/15/2022 9:50 AM
28 The City seems to have great ideas on building up the parks and keeping it look nice. The city 3/15/2022 9:03 AM
seems to be low on staff and pulled thin for the staffing to maintain these great parks and
desitnation. With a growing population the city should be increasing their staff to keep them
looking nice for many years not just the year they are built.
29 1 would love to see the city consider the construction of a large aquatic center similar to the 3/13/2022 4:20 PM
one in Snohomish, but have the city own it. I go lap swimming at the Snohomish center or at
LSHS. I play pool, a competition lap pool, and a relatively shallow(3 to 5 feet)for lessons and
lap swimming would be incredible for our children and future generations. One or sides would
have sliding doors for the summer. A semi-covered outdoor pool for the summer would be
ideal. I saw a 50 meter pool in Japan on on one end. It was enclosed, but it had one end that
had sliding doors like an airplane hanger. It was perfect for the summer. The entire pool was no
more than 5 feet deep for water walking, lessons, lap swimming, and playing. Arlington could
team up with Lakewood, Stanwood and Tulalip Tribes for swim meets, etc.
30 Smokey Point neighborhood's need more parks 3/12/2022 10:39 PM

34 1 have lived in arlington since i was 10 years old until this passed year. I could not find 3/11/2022 1:29 PM
affordable housing in the area as woman. So sad. But I am still blessed to work and spend
most of my leisurely time in Arlington with family and friends so I still consider this place my
home. I work in the Smokey Point area and I would love to see more parks, open spaces,
event spaces in the Smokey point area! It would be wonderful!
35 1 am a dog lover and owner of two active dogs. I would love the city to provide a wonderful off 3/11/2022 1:06 PM
leash park. There are numerous dog owners in town and when we meet to have our dogs play
we always talk about how nice it would be to have an exceptional dog area.
36 Staffing needs based on the increase in area to maintain. Please consider this before 3/11/2022 12:31 PM
implementing all these amazing things.

38 Need sidewalks on 531 from 67th to hwy 9 and bus service. There is no way to walk safely or 3/11/2022 11:44 AM
get around without a car. It would be nice to have a YMCA in Arlington. It is not a senior

40 If excess traffic is toomey from the improvements how is that going to be handled? 3/10/2022 6:42 PM
41 I'm not seeing how you can address vandalism and safety of playgrounds against transient 3/10/2022 5:51 PM
population, predators, or drug users leaving needles around. I would love to see an obstacle
course, geo caching, row machines, dance stage, callesthenics workout area, and little kid
bike trail.
42 Country Charm Park needs ROAD ACCESS and PARKING INSIDE the park! 3/10/2022 9:02 AM
43 Pool! We need a pool! 3/8/2022 9:48 PM
44 1 would love to see the city work with the county to develop more courts and fields. King 3/8/2022 9:45 PM
county has an incredible system of parks and fields. We could do much better for our kids and
adult leagues.
45 Restrooms at the parks. There needs to be a porta-potty back between the two baseball fields 3/8/2022 8:23 PM
at quake. The quality of the current ones down at quake are poor. Need maintenance and
janitorial services bad.
46 Sidewalks! Make it safer for families to walk if they don't live downtown. I cannot walk my 3/8/2022 6:23 PM
children anywhere near or on Kackman because of no sidewalks or trails and a fast speed
limit.
47 More police in smokey point boulevard, its a lot of homeless stilling stuff from houses in the 3/8/2022 5:47 PM
area. I ben out of the house twise this year and my house is been vandalized for kids doing
graffiti and homeles traing to got in, its crazy
48 We need fully ada accessible playgrounds 3/8/2022 12:40 PM
49 Wht does the City not invest in the Schools of Arlington? I would think that woulkd be priority. 3/8/2022 11:12 AM

fields in Snohomish is also located in the flood plain, so mimic their low impact design.
51 1 would love more dog friendly or dog specific areas. Currently Strawberry Fields is the only off 3/7/2022 9:00 PM
leash dog area, and its inaccessible many months out of the year because it floods.
52 More growth for the bike community would be great! Things like pump tracks, dirt jumps, and 3/7/2022 8:32 PM
small trail systems.
53 My concern with all of this is how it will be paid for. I'm done paying higher taxes and/or Levy's. 3/7/2022 7:43 PM
I am also concerned that these trails will just be a new place for homeless folks to hide out.
They are already all over the Centennial trail.
54 Would love a pump track or similar for bikes! 3/7/2022 12:45 AM
55 1 would like to see a pump track for kids along the centennial trail with trail access 3/6/2022 8:19 PM
56 Forget about basketball courts, fix the roads!!!! 3/6/2022 3:45 PM
57 1 would love a bike pump track or more bike and running trails! 3/5/2022 10:28 AM
58 Cemetery road and 62nd needs a sidewalk for walking it is dangerous around the loop with no 3/4/2022 10:12 PM
sidewalk. This area connects to the airport trail and lots of people like to ride bike and walk
there
59 Our city needs more safe areas for teens to hand out. Down town is not an option. They need 3/4/2022 9:51 PM
things to do like sports courts Ect to keep them out of trouble.
60 Please stop building more housing in down town Arlington. It's losing its small town feel that 3/4/2022 8:46 PM
everyone knows and loves.
61 Stop developing... moved here for the small town atmosphere and it is being ruined! 3/4/2022 7:10 PM
62 I'm sure it's been addressed, but I'll highlight again. Please ensure enough lighting is 3/4/2022 3:25 PM

Street, it appeared there was no dedicated bike/walking lane. I saw bikes behind parked
vehicles, next to traffic. I was uncertain why parking on 172nd St was included in the plan.
That space would be better used to add a lane for traffic with a dedicated bike lane on the curb
side of the road. Cascade Bike Club can provide reference to experts in the design of bike
lanes.
66 We would love to see a riverwalk from Haller Park to Country Charm Park. 3/3/2022 6:40 PM
67 In order to have a thriving and healthy city the proposals the city of Arlington is offering would 3/3/2022 9:35 AM
make us a destination for all. I love and am proud of our city.
68 Country charm park seems inaccessible due to the construction which sucks because it was a 3/3/2022 8:29 AM
nice place for dog walking
69 We would love some type of pump track or bike riding area. We drive all the way to Bellingham 3/3/2022 6:47 AM
to let my boys use the pump track.
70 Please improve safety for pedestrians. Please make our town and parks accessible for all. 3/2/2022 7:23 PM
71 Homelessness! Within the last six months we've been deterred from entering Haller Park due 3/2/2022 9:54 AM
to encroachment of homeless people. Protect our families and children, these individuals have
criminal history (high numbers of pedophiles). Parks and safety should go hand in hand.
72 Everyone loves The splash park we should have more. Also we have to make this community 3/1/2022 6:47 PM
more walkable/bikeable
73 Please STOP building on and interrupting nature areas and the wildlife running out of places to 3/1/2022 7:53 AM
flee. We bought out lovely, rural home over 15 yes ago and low income apartments and crime
have inched their way into this once small, quiet and low-crime area. Heaven forbid we a 10 x
10 piece of vacant land in the area.
74 Keeping our parks safe from drug activity and needles etc is very important to me and the 3/1/2022 7:12 AM
safety of my children.
75 Please install more crosswalks! Especially along Smokey Point Blvd north of 172nd. Also, it is 3/1/2022 7:10 AM
SO difficult to exit neighborhoods onto Smokey Point Blvd in the same area. It can take
upwards of 20 minutes to wait for a break in traffic in order to turn out (for example on the side
streets near the Smokey Point Community Church). Traffic lights are very much needed!

82 In any park, adequate parking, maintained trails, etc...and some sort of emergency 2/28/2022 10:17 AM

83 1 would love to have better access to the Stillaguamish River bed at Haller Park under the Hwy 2/27/2022 7:22 PM
9 overpass. Stairs or something. It would be nice to declare the river bed there at Haller Park
and oficial off leash dog area.
84 Please put a park and basketball court in zone 1 more specifically on 196th pl ne Arlington. We 2/27/2022 8:49 AM
have a very old park and court but the closest park is high clover and we have to walk on the
dangerous main road to get there with small kids. We could really use a safe walking distance
park. The neighborhood of 196th pl ne has a ton of kids aging from babies to teens that would
utilize a park every day of the year in that location. Thank you

120 It seems like most improvements go to the downtown area and literally zero improvements for 2/20/2022 5:16 PM
citizens in the Smoky Point area. The only improvements here are for businesses. It is
unwalkable and becoming unlivable. What used to be a beautiful part of Arlington has become
an industrial center with its citizens forgotten
121 It would be nice to have dog friendly areas. Or even a dog park. At the very least garbage bins 2/20/2022 12:16 AM
to toss doggie bags.
122 I'm new to this discussion. Is a skate park under consideration? I know there's one near the 2/19/2022 10:49 PM
Boys & Girls club, but that's so far outside of Arlington's core (and nowhere near our schools).

garbages were emptied up regularly. The park by my house has a back garbage can by the
basketball court that sits full for months at a time.
130 1 couldn't really read your map because I have to do it on my telephone. I don't know of any 2/18/2022 7:53 PM
parks in the Smokey Point area. I know Downtown Arlington area has a lot of parks and trails
which is nice.
131 Please install more tennis courts! As far as I know, the only ones are at the high school. Lots 2/18/2022 2:47 PM
more people play tennis than pickle ball. I vote no on pickle ball courts. If tennis courts were
installed near the middle schools, they could have tennis teams or use them for PE. Also, we
need activities for teens. Most of the park areas seem geared to little kids.

138 Looking at existing and future parks, I don't see parks being added to the high density areas 2/18/2022 12:43 PM
where these 3-4 story complexes are going in. There needs to be open space added to
accommodate these newly populated areas. I also question how much the school district will
allow public use and find including it with this survey misleading. The school district already
either fences off, has gates and/or discourages parking in their lots and limits or blocks access
to tracks, walking areas, ball fields, tennis courts and playgrounds. Unless that changes you
shouldn't include it as part of this survey.

141 1 feel it is of extreme importance to make sure those*with disabilities*have access to paths 2/18/2022 10:22 AM
and trails and play equipment too. Mostly, all this encroaching development in town is pushing
out the views of the mountains (such as by the airport), and the scenic, country beauty that
used to be a hallmark of Arlington. Can we please have more space and trails for the beautiful
landscapes and such?Thanks for asking for our input.
142 Please keep in mind safety for the families that go to these parks. Safety meaning lighting, 2/18/2022 9:49 AM
parking, and how traffic in/out flows in busy areas.
143 NO 2/18/2022 9:45 AM
144 I just want to reiterate the importance of providing all of these kinds of spaces to the residents 2/18/2022 7:45 AM
in our community. It can't all be blacktop and business. Twin Rivers breaks my heart every
time I drive past it. I know that maintenance and care has been transferred back to the county
but those ball fields are absolutely horrific. Soon, nobody will use them for anything. And that
is heart breaking.
145 In my opinion, upkeep of current parks, trails, etc is more important than creating new spaces. 2/17/2022 6:21 PM
The current parks and trails are well loved by the community and will be cherished for years to
come.
146 1 love all that Arlington is doing with Parks! Thank you for all your work with this! 2/17/2022 5:59 PM
147 1 really like the idea of biking/walking trails. We own electric bikes but have found it can be 2/17/2022 5:14 PM
dangerous riding outside of old towon or off the Centennial Trail. For example, we like yo ride
to Skookum brewery but there are areas on that ride that require riding in the street. Or biking
to businesses in Smokey Point.
148 Keeping roadways, watersheds and creeks free of debri and trash has NEVER been a priority 2/17/2022 4:40 PM
since I've lived here going on eight years. There's so much that needs to be done and it
seems so little that is being addressed.

a$1,000,000.00 on the Jim Howell property for a so call statue to the Mayor was a very poor
decision for the city. Took away tax dollars and another retail space from MANY different
people who wanted the space for their own business. Not that will never happen because the
price would be to much for anybody to purchase the property even if the city wanted to sell it.

Blvd was not great prior to the new Truck stop but now that road is a MESS! If you happen to
be traveling on those roads the gridlock is crazy. The road is not wide enough for most cars to
travel when there are multiple big rigs trying to go north to access 530. In addition, the
potholes are horrific and even after being patched they deteriorate rapidly as if nothing had
been done. The roads need to be addressed before you begin your crazy expansions of our

Arlington PRMP Plan I E-15
Financial implications
These levels of facility investment may not be solely financed with
the resources available to Arlington if the city pursues an
independent delivery approach or uses traditional methods of
funding. Arlington will not be financially able to develop, manage,
and maintain a comprehensive, independent park, recreation, and
open space system using only traditional financing methods
considering the needs projected.
These needs require a citywide financing approach by Arlington and
where appropriate in partnership with Arlington School District and
Snohomish County, as well as proposed nonprofit or for-profit
partners.
A citywide approach may use a combination of shared user fees,
excise taxes,joint grant applications, impact fees, and voter
approved property tax levies to maintain and improve facilities in
the face of continued city population increases.

Introduction
This document addresses the items of Washington's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) environmental
checklist, as identified in Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-960. The information provided
herein has been carefully considered and is accurate to the best of our knowledge.
A. BACKGROUND
1. Name of proposed project, if applicable:
Parks, Recreation &Open Space Element and Arlington Parks&Recreation Master Plan (PRMP)
and Comprehensive Plan Chapter 7 Update
2. Date checklist prepared:
January 2022
3. Agency requesting checklist:
City of Arlington
Department of Parks &Recreation
238 North Olympic Avenue
Arlington, WA 98223
4. Proposed timing or schedule (including phasing, if applicable):
The Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) provides the foundation for the
acquisition and development of park and recreation facilities within and recreation
programming for the city of Arlington. It includes a discussion of facility needs over the next
20 years and presents a 6-year capital facilities program. The 6-year CFP identifies the costs
for implementation and the potential source(s) of funding. Individual projects will undergo
additional SEPA review as necessary prior to master planning, design, and construction.
S. Do you have any plans for future additions, expansions, or further activity related to or
connected with this proposal? If yes, explain.
Yes. The PRMP will be reviewed and adopted as an element of the overall city Comprehensive
Land Use Plan. In addition, the PRMP will likely be updated every 5 to 6 years in conjunction
with updates to the City Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) will
likely be updated annually and guide future budget discussions. Specific proposals will be
developed for individual planned park projects.
6. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be
prepared, directly related to this proposal.
The PRMP relies on previous, community-based plans to ensure consistency and avoid
duplication. Recent plans include the 2019 Arlington Comprehensive Plan and Capital
Facilities Plan (currently being updated) and the 2016 Arlington Parks & Recreation Master
Plan (PRMP). Additional environmental studies will be conducted on various projects as they
are proposed for development. These additional environmental studies could include wetland
assessments and/or delineations, archaeological site surveys, slope stability studies, and
project specific SEPA compliance.
7. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals
directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain.
The PRMP's 6-Year Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) identifies projects that have received budget
appropriations but that have not been fully implemented. These are mostly neighborhood and
community parks enhancements that are funded or will be funded by the local general fund
and/or grants.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 1 of 15
8. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known.
The PRMP must be reviewed and adopted by the Arlington City Council by ordinance. In
addition, various approvals or permits could be required for individual park projects at the
time of implementation. These may include federal, state, and local fisheries hydraulics,
grading, shoreline, floodplain, endangered species act, and/or wetlands permits and
approvals. Some projects may involve the submittal of grant applications and similar
documents that would be approved by the Arlington City Council.
9. Give a brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size
of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to
describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this
page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on
project description.)
This project involves adoption of the PRMP by the Arlington City Council. The PRMP gives an
overview of parks and recreation planning in the Arlington urban growth area - identifying
a system of parks, open spaces, trails, and special facilities. The plan identifies benefits of the
parks system, lists park goals, objectives, and policies, and proposes a 6-20-year schedule of
park projects. The purpose of the plan is to identify a park system throughout the Arlington
area that addresses citizens' needs and interests and environmental concerns. The plan
focuses on providing urban parks and facilities within walkable distances of residential areas.
The PRMP requires minor updates to Chapter 7 - Parks, Recreation and Open Space Element
of the Comprehensive Plan to utilize the new master plan.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. SOILS
a. General description of the site (underline one): flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous,
other .
The planning area for this project covers the City of Arlington, located in the northwestern
part of Snohomish County, Washington.
The Arlington urban growth area has moderate topographic changes with steep bluffs
overlooking the Stillaguamish River and rolling hills on plateaus 100 to 200 feet above sea
level. Flood plains and riparian areas associated with Portage, Prairie, Kruger, Quilceda,
Eagle, and March Creeks occupy a portion of the UGA.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific park
locations, the steepness of specific park projects cannot be identified at this time.
C. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)?
If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them, and note any prime farmland.
The USDA soils classification system identifies a wide variety of soil types for Snohomish
County. These soil types may be classified under two major associations for the Arlington
area. These are Alderwood and Everett.
Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific park
locations, soil type(s) of specific projects cannot be identified at this time.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific park
locations, soil stability of particular projects cannot be identified at this time.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 2 of 15
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source of fill.
Specific plans for earthmoving and fill will be developed as individual parks or trails are
proposed.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
The development of parks or trails could cause some amount of erosion during clearing
and/or construction. Detailed engineering plans will be prepared to avoid and/or minimize
impacts to potentially unstable slopes, and erosion control plans will be submitted when
construction of the specific projects are proposed.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construc-
tion (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
Park improvements may include some impervious surfaces. Fully developed parks typically
have hard-surface paths and play areas, as well as parking areas and restroom structures.
Trail corridors may be paved or built with a compacted, impervious surface. Specific areas
affected will be determined during master planning and design of specific sites.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
Detailed design plans will be submitted when specific parks are proposed, including drainage
and erosion control plans. Geotechnical studies will be completed for projects within
potentially unstable slope areas. All designs will comply with or exceed the standards of the
city erosion control ordinances.
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile,
odors, industrial wood smoke)during construction and when the project is completed? If any,
generally describe and give approximate quantities, if known.
Dust and automotive exhaust would likely be released during construction of parks. However,
emissions will be temporary, lasting only for the duration of construction. Dust is expected to
be minimal and localized at the point of active construction.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe.
Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific projects, off-
site sources of emissions or odor cannot be identified.
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
The use of dust suppressants, such as periodic watering or watering of traveled areas, will occur
on a routine basis to minimize particulate matter during construction. In addition, equipment
not in use will be shut off, and all trucks transporting materials capable of producing fugitive
dust will use appropriate covers. Disturbed soil areas with the potential for generating fugitive
dust will be stabilized with mulch and vegetation cover following construction. Specifications
will be included in the proposed project construction contract provisions to ensure all
regulations related to the control of fugitive dust will be met. In addition, dust control measures
will be implemented in conformance with appropriate erosion control measures and other
applicable regulations.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 3 of 15
3. WATER
a. Surface:
(1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-
round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe the type and
provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
The plan proposes park improvements, trails, natural areas, and greenspaces, and/or habitat
areas along water bodies in the Arlington urban area including portions of Portage, Prairie,
Kruger, Quilceda, Eagle, and March Creeks. In addition, wetland areas that might be impacted
by proposed parks will be identified when specific park locations are proposed. Wetland
assessments and/or delineations will be conducted within these areas prior to site-specific
planning as appropriate.
(2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described
waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
Several projects identified in the PRMP are located adjacent to or in close proximity to water
features, such as the proposed Portage, Kruger, Quilceda, and March Creek trails. Park and
trail improvements will be designed to minimize impacts to water features, shorelines, and
other sensitive resources. Final design for specific projects would be subject to review under
SEPA, Shoreline Management, and other federal, state, and local permit and approval/review
processes.
(3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from
surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the
source of fill material.
Individual trail segments or other park improvements could require grading, leveling, filling,
and related activities. Detailed engineering plans, including quantities, will be prepared at
the time of site-specific planning.
(4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description,
purpose, and approximate quantities, if known.
The development of individual trail segments or other park improvements may involve some
level of surface water diversion. Detailed engineering plans will be prepared at the time of
site-specific planning, and efforts will be made to minimize impacts to surface water
resources.
(S) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year flood plain? If so, note the location on the site plan.
The plan identifies trail corridors and parks with segments that will likely lie within the 100-
year flood plain. Detailed locations will be identified when specific parks or trail segments are
proposed for development. Most parks and trail segments will not involve structures or fill
that would cause flood plain impacts; however, where park or trail development might cause
impacts, all federal, state and local flood plain provisions will be met.
(6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe
the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
None anticipated, other than surface water runoff.
b. Ground:
(1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities, if known.
Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific projects, the
withdrawal or discharge of groundwater cannot be identified at this time.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 4 of 15
(2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other
sources, if any (for example: domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following
chemicals...; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such
systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or
humans the system(s) are expected to serve.
Public restrooms may be constructed within parks and at trail entry points in some unserved
locations. Portable/pumped and self-composting facilities for human waste are two
alternatives, along with permanent/pumped, septic, or sewer facilities.
C. Water Runoff(including storm water):
(1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal,
if any(include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other
waters? If so, describe.
Surface water runoff will be generated from impervious parking areas, trail surfaces,
restroom facilities, and shelters. Detailed drainage plans will be submitted at the time of site-
specific planning.
(2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe.
No specific development plans exist that would facilitate wastewater entering ground or surface
waters. The future use of septic systems would require extraordinary circumstances and would be
regulated by the Snohomish County Public Health Department.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any:
Detailed drainage plans will be submitted at the time of site-specific planning. Public restroom
facilities will comply with all local and state requirements.
4. PLANTS
a. Check or circle types of vegetation found on the site:
0 Deciduous tree: alder, maple, cottonwood, other
0 Evergreen tree: fir, cedar, other
0 Shrubs
0 Grass
0 Pasture
0 Crop or grain
0 Wet soil plants
0 Water plants
0 Other types of vegetation
b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered?
Since the PRMP proposes development of park and trail facilities, vegetation is likely to be
removed, but detailed plans are unavailable at this time. Clearing, grading, construction, and
landscaping details will be addressed in the site plan design.
C. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site.
The identification of threatened or endangered plant species will occur through site-specific
development proposals.
d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance
vegetation on the site, if any.
The PRMP proposes acquisition and development of parks and urban trails. Site plans
developed at the time of facility design will consider planting programs and mitigation
requirements. Special consideration will be given to the enhancement of the natural shoreline,
water quality protection/enhancement, wetlands, and habitat enhancement. State and
federal agencies will be consulted to identify and protect threatened and/or endangered
species.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 5 of 15
S. ANIMALS
a. Circle any birds and animals which have been observed on or near the site or are known to be
on or near the site:
Obirds: Ohawk, ®heron, ®eagle, ®songbirds, bother:
Qmammals: ®deer, ❑bear, ❑elk, ❑beaver, Qother:
Qfish: ❑bass, Qsalmon, Otrout, ❑herring, ❑shellfish, Qother:
b. List any threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site.
There are currently several threatened or endangered species that may be found in
Snohomish County and in the Arlington UGA. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
(WDFW) Species of Concern (SOC) List identifies animal species designated by the State as
Endangered, Threatened, Sensitive, or Candidates for listing including bald eagle, chinook
salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead trout.
The presence of any endangered, threatened, or sensitive species will be confirmed during
the planning and design phase of each individual project. Projects developed under the PRMP
will be designed to avoid and minimize impacts to state and federally listed species to the
greatest extent practicable. Projects involving unavoidable impacts to listed species or habitat
will be permitted in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
C. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain.
Yes, the planned area is part of migration routes for the following species:
Anadromous Fish. The Puget Sound provides highly important habitat for a variety of
migratory fish species including salmon and steelhead populations. Snohomish County
contains numerous rivers and streams that have historically supported these species. Each of
these waterways continues to provide habitat to these species and the continued health and/or
recovery of these waterways will be an important factor in the recovery of these species.
Migratory Birds. Snohomish County is located along an avian migratory corridor known as
the Pacific Flyway, which extends from the Bering Sea in Alaska along the Pacific Coast to
South America. Snohomish County provides significant habitat (e.g., lakes, wetlands,
floodplain, and forests) for migrating and wintering waterfowl, neotropical migrant birds,
and others.
Terrestrial Wildlife. Snohomish County contains numerous important wildlife corridors.
These areas provide a means for wildlife movement and migration patterns between breeding
and wintering areas. Primary wildlife corridors within the Arlington UGA are located within
the riparian corridors associated with the area's creeks and river. These corridors are
important in that they maintain connectivity between habitat and open space areas that are
located throughout the city. These corridors also often provide the only means for terrestrial
wildlife to move through urban areas and other areas disturbed by development activities.
d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any:
Implementation of the plan will have positive long-term beneficial effects on wildlife. The PRMP
proposes projects that involve acquisition of parcels for management as natural areas and open
space. Acquisition and designation of such areas will act to protect and conserve
environmentally sensitive areas, including habitat for sensitive plant, fish, and terrestrial
wildlife species. There could be short term impacts because of the construction of some
park/facility development projects. Project impacts will be assessed on a project specific basis.
Construction practices best suited to minimize impacts to plant and animal species will be
specified. Projects identified in the PRMP will be constructed in a manner that limits disturbance
and minimizes impacts to riparian and stream habitat as much as possible. For example,
construction limits will be clearly marked in the field to minimize unnecessary disturbance; in-
water work will be performed during the WDFW-approved in-water work window; and areas of
ground disturbance will be replanted with native species following construction.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 6 of 15
6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES
a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the
completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating,
manufacturing, etc.
Electrical service will typically be provided to parks, trailheads, and urban trail corridors
where restrooms and safety lighting are required. Electrical service will also be provided for
heating, lighting, and operating recreation facilities, such as swimming pools and activity
centers. Gas, oil, and electricity will be used during construction of parks and recreation
facilities.
b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so,
generally describe.
The PRMP recommends park and trail improvements that are not anticipated to affect the
potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties.
C. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List
other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any:
Not applicable.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of
fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could occur as a result of this proposal? If
so, describe.
Since the proposal is for urban parks, recreation, and open space plan, environmental health
hazards associated with the proposal are not anticipated.
(1) Describe special emergency services that might be required.
The acquisition and development of parks, trails, and recreation facilities could affect the
need for emergency services. Several factors need to be considered, including location of
parks and trails, neighboring properties, number of users, user hours, types of activities,
transportation systems, parking, and other support facilities. Vehicle patrol would serve parks
and trails located along roadways. A trail located away from a transportation corridor may
require a specialized program of patrol, such as mountain bike patrols. Park, trail, trailhead,
and recreation facility design will consider provisions for emergency services and crime
prevention, such as security lighting, emergency phone service, fencing, and access for
emergency vehicles.
(2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any:
Since environmental health hazards are not anticipated, mitigation measures are not proposed.
b. Noise
(1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project(for example:traffic, equip-
ment, operation, other)?
Road systems are located throughout the urban area and will be close to many of the proposed
project areas. In addition, equipment noise and truck traffic from various commercial and
industrial operations and traffic and railroad noise will affect the proposed parks and trail
corridors to varying degrees depending on location.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 7 of 15
(2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-
term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what
hours noise would come from the site.
The PRMP recommends new park projects. Minimal temporary noise would be created at the
time of construction, during normal working hours. Use of trails may trigger low level,
pedestrian type noise, the frequency and level of which is difficult to predict but is anticipated
to be in the same category found in any area frequented by walkers, hikers, and bike riders.
Proposed parks may produce higher noise levels associated with recreation activities such as
ball games. Noise impacts will be addressed in detail at the time of development review of
individual park projects or trail segments to insure compatibility with adjacent land uses.
(3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any:
Restricted hours of construction and use, along with open space buffers, landscaping, and
grade changes between the parks and trail routes and adjacent property owners would be
some of the measures considered to reduce or control noise impacts and will be presented in
detail at the time of development review of individual parks or trail segments.
8. LAND AND SHORELINE USE
a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties?
Proposed projects in the PRMP are distributed widely throughout the city. Current use within
project areas also varies. Proposed parks are, by design, located in residential areas. Trails
and open space are within or near a wide range of land uses including residential,
commercial, and industrial. Recreation facilities, such as swimming pools and community
centers, are typically located in commercial areas, although they may also be found in
residential and industrial areas.
b. Has the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe.
The PRMP calls for parks, trails, open space, and recreation facilities in urban areas. Most of
this urban land was used historically for agricultural activities but has long since been
converted to urban designations and/or uses. In a few areas, farm-related activities continue.
C. Describe any structures on the site.
Since the parks projects have not been designed, specific on-site structures are not known at
this time.
d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what?
Since the parks projects have not been designed, requirements for demolition of structures
are unknown at this time.
e. What is the current zoning classification of the site?
Parks, open spaces, trail corridors, and recreation facilities proposed in the PRMP are located
within a wide range of zoning areas, including residential and commercial.
f. What is the current comprehensive plan designation of the site?
Parks, open spaces, trail corridors, and recreation facilities proposed in the PRMP are located
within a wide range of comprehensive plan designations. The most common designation is
residential for neighborhood and community parks.
g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of the site?
Shorelines-of-the-state include portions of Portage, Kruger, Quilceda, and March Creeks.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 8 of 15
h. Has any part of the site been classified as an "environmentally sensitive" area? If so, specify.
Yes, potential parks, urban open space, greenways, and trail corridors may cover areas with
various environmentally sensitive designations. These include: 100-year floodplain, Shoreline
Master Program jurisdiction areas, and designated wetlands under SEPA ordinance.
i. Approximately how many people would reside or work in the completed project?
Not applicable.
j. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace?
No displacement is anticipated because of this plan.
k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any:
Not applicable.
1. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land uses
and plans, if any:
The proposed PRMP is consistent with the provisions of the existing Arlington Comprehensive
Plan. The proposed plan also supports goals, objectives, and programs that have been
identified in preceding updates.
9. HOUSING
a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle, or
low-income housing.
The PRMP will not result in new housing units.
b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate whether high, middle,
or low-income housing.
Specific park plans have not been developed; however, no housing units have been identified
for elimination in implementing the plan's 6-year Capital Facilities Plan (CFP).
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any:
Since no impacts to housing are anticipated, mitigation measures are not proposed.
10. AESTHETICS
a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the
principal exterior building material(s) proposed?
Restrooms are typically constructed in developed parks and are considered during the design
of trailheads and some special facilities. Picnic shelters are also found in parks. Fencing and
interpretive signage may be planned for parks and along specific trail segments. Restrooms
would be of concrete block construction, with a maximum height of 15 to 18 feet. Picnic
shelters would be constructed of wood/steel and be of similar height. Fences would likely be
chain link(or wood, where appropriate), up to 6 feet high. Fencing may be higher if associated
with ball fields.
b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed?
View impacts will be analyzed when specific park or trail alignments are proposed for
development. Detailed plans will be prepared at the time of site-specific planning. Proposed
parks and trails could offer the public greater view and access opportunities where there is
currently limited or no access.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 9 of 15
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any:
With proper and sensitive design relating to landscaping, changes in grade and other
mitigation measures, aesthetic impacts will be minimized. Park and trail design will minimize
impacts to adjacent residents and ensure privacy with the possible use of fencing, planting,
native rock, and grade changes.
11. LIGHT AND GLARE
a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur?
Lighting for safety and security will be addressed in the site plan design. Lighting for evening
use of athletic fields will be addressed during future site design. Use restrictions on evening
use will reduce impacts to residential areas near sports facilities.
b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views?
Lighting features will be designed to not obstruct views or interfere with traffic safety.
C. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal?
There are no off-site sources of light or glare that are anticipated to affect this proposal.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any:
Lighting impacts will be addressed at the time of site-specific planning. Lighting systems and
hardware will be designed to minimize or eliminate impacts to adjacent residential uses or
transportation corridors.
12. RECREATION
a. What designated and informal recreational opportunities are in the immediate vicinity?
The PRMP identifies acquisition, expansion, and/or development of parks, trails, and natural
areas adequate to serve the urban growth area at the standard established in the plan.
b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe.
The proposed park system will enhance and create additional recreational opportunities and
provide linkages via a system of trails. Federal, state, and local regulations will require
management plans to ensure protection of resources, especially in areas that support
threatened, endangered, or at-risk species. For example, water-contact activities in these
areas may be replaced by interpretative and viewing activities. In some cases, resource
protection may require prohibiting access.
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation
opportunities to be provided by the project or applicant, if any:
The proposed PRMP provides park facilities and recreation opportunities that help meet the
public's need to recreate. Focusing recreation activities in appropriate areas reduces the use
of and potential threat to sensitive wildlife habitat.
13. HISTORIC AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION
a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, national, state, or local preservation
registers known to be on or next to the site? If so, generally describe.
No sites located in Arlington are on the National Register of Historic Places or the Washington
State Heritage Register. However, historic preservation officials emphasize that
comprehensive field investigations of archaeological sites have not been conducted, and that
artifacts are probably not confined to sites already identified.
b. Generally, describe any landmarks or evidence of historic, archaeological, scientific, or
cultural importance known to be on or next to the site.
Not applicable.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 10 of 15
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any:
Preservation officials have emphasized the need for cultural resource evaluations and
inventories on sites that have a greater potential for historic significance. Such surveys will
be performed, as appropriate, with avoidance and/or mitigation measures to be identified
and implemented on a site-specific basis. SEPA policy addressing archaeological resources
would likely require an archaeological survey prior to development of most of the proposed
park and trail sites.
14. TRANSPORTATION
a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site and describe proposed access to the
existing street system. Show on site plans, if any.
The PRMP includes projects that are generally accessible from public streets and roadways.
Proposed parks anticipate pedestrian access and accommodate both pedestrian and
automobile access. Some facilities, such as trail corridors, have limited access points, which
is desirable based on the intended use of the amenity.
b. Is the site currently served by public transit? If not, what is the approximate distance to the
nearest transit stop?
The city is currently served by Community Transit route 220 between Arlington and Mount
Vernon and Arlington and Everett.
C. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would the project
eliminate?
Parking will be provided at parks and special facilities. Limited parking may be provided at
trail entry points. Natural areas will have little or no parking, except for areas intended for
interpretation or that provide another amenity.
d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to existing roads or
streets,not including driveways? If so,generally describe(indicate whether public or private).
Parks and special facilities developed in the urban area may require local road improvements,
such as half-street improvements on road frontage and ingress/egress improvements. These
issues will be resolved during individual planning processes for each site, and through
development and transportation review by public agencies.
e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of)water, rail, or air transportation? If
so, generally describe.
The PRMP identifies trails along or near Portage, Kruger, March, and Quilceda Creeks,
adjacent to portions of the rail corridor extending south to Marysville, and around the
Arlington Municipal Airport.
f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If known,
indicate when peak volumes would occur.
Vehicular trips will vary with site type, amenities, location, design, use policies, weather, and
other factors. Site-specific vehicle trips are unknown at this time but will be assessed during
site plan preparation.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any:
Implementation of the trails component of the plan will provide improved non-motorized
vehicular access to employment, residential, and recreational facilities.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 11 of 15
15. PUBLIC SERVICES
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire protection,
police protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe.
Developing new parks and special facilities with active recreational uses will attract patrons.
This will increase the likelihood that fire, police, and emergency medical services may be
needed.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any.
The greatest sense of safety comes from the presence of public patrons utilizing the parks
and trails, and from public stewardship of the parks and trails. Several measures will be
considered in the planning stages of an individual project that may reduce or control
perceived or potential impacts such as: hours of operation, access gates, emergency service
access requirements, and environmental designs utilized for crime prevention.
16. UTILITIES
a. Underline utilities currently available in the site: electricity,natural gas,water,refuse service,
telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system, other.
These services are generally available throughout the Arlington UGA.
b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing the service, and
the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might be
needed.
Trails generally require none of these services; however, portable restrooms may be used at
times when trail use reaches high levels. Parks may require electricity for safety lighting
and/or irrigation. Parks need water, electricity, and sewage services to operate restrooms.
The service needs of recreation facilities, such as swimming pools and community centers,
may vary slightly, but will typically need water, electricity, refuse, and sewage services.
Specific utility needs will be addressed as individual parks, recreation facilities, or trail
segments are designed and engineered.

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
(do not use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with
the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions,be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities
likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate
than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production,
storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
The proposed PRMP identifies acquisition, development, and improvement of various types of
park facilities. Among these facilities, community parks and recreation facilities have the
greatest potential to cause the listed conditions. These facilities may have roadways, parking
lots, and buildings with impervious surfaces that concentrate water runoff. Automobile traffic
and parking may increase emissions into the air and increase noise levels. Based on facility
design and vegetation, fertilizers, and other chemicals may be used during maintenance
activity. Dust and automotive exhaust would likely be released during park construction.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Auto emissions and demand for parking at community parks and recreation facilities could be
reduced through increased use of nonmotorized transportation. Implementing the proposed
trail systems is a measure to reduce use of automobiles to access park facilities
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The PRMP calls for the protection of the area's most significant natural corridors as
greenspace, natural areas, and/or wildlife habitat. These natural corridors include areas that
provide important habitat for a variety of plants, animals, and fish, and are found both inside
and outside the Arlington UGA. Construction of parks or trails in these areas would increase
public access and use. Without proper facility design and management, public use and overuse
can harm the value of wildlife habitat.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
The PRMP identifies as one of its goals the statement to "Preserve and protect significant
environmental features." Acquisition and designation of such areas will act to protect and
conserve environmentally sensitive areas, including habitat for sensitive plant, fish, and
terrestrial wildlife species.
Short-term impacts to plants, fish, and wildlife may be avoided or reduced through
appropriate design and construction practices, and through adherence to applicable local,
state, and federal environmental regulations. Projects developed under the parks plan will be
designed to avoid and minimize impacts to federally and state listed species to the greatest
extent practicable, and projects involving unavoidable impacts to listed species or habitat will
be permitted in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The potential for impacts
resulting from increased public access and overuse may be avoided by routing access away
from the most sensitive areas, utilizing vegetative buffer to protect sensitive habitat, and
restricting access to nesting or breeding locations during certain periods.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The proposal is not expected to deplete energy or natural resources.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 13 of 15
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
The PRMP encourages nonmotorized transportation, which will minimize consumption of
petroleum resources. In addition, the proposal encourages the preservation, appreciation, and
accessibility of natural resource corridors within the Arlington UGA.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas
designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness,
wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites,
wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
As noted earlier, parks and trails may be within or adjacent to areas designated as 100-year
floodplain, potentially unstable slopes, wetlands, shorelines as governed by the Shoreline
Management Act, archaeological or historical resources, and habitat for threatened or
endangered species. The PRMP identifies acquisition and designation of these areas as
greenspace, natural areas, wildlife habitat and, where appropriate, trail corridors.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
A thorough inventory and analysis of alternative sites will precede final park, trail and/or
facility placement. This analysis will consider restrictions resulting from government
regulation of wetlands, floodplains, grading, shorelines, hydraulics, and other pertinent
government programs and regulations. Individual parks and trail segments will be designed
to protect environmentally sensitive areas and will be subject to additional SEPA review.
Methods to be used include, but will not be limited to, routing parks and trails away from the
most sensitive environmental areas, providing vegetative and earth buffers to screen park and
trail users from sensitive habitat features, and incorporating habitat restoration work into the
overall park and trail design. Site specific details will be evaluated when individual park and
trail segments are proposed for development.
S. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would
allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The PRMP supports continued public acquisition of shoreline areas for appropriate recreational
uses and development of these sites in a manner that will preserve the natural characteristics
of the shoreline.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
Projects proposed and implemented under the PRMP will be subject to further environmental
and land use review, as appropriate, to ensure consistency with all local, state, and federal
laws and regulations.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and
utilities?
The PRMP calls for a system of neighborhood parks, community parks, trails, and recreation
facilities that is designed to accommodate alternative modes of transportation. If successful,
there would be a decreasing reliance on the automobile and a corresponding decline in the
demands on the existing transportation system. If transportation patterns and modes do not
change, new parks and facilities could increase traffic demands on existing transportation
facilities.
Arlington Parks&, Recreation Master Plan(PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 14 of 15
Implementing the PRMP may increase the need for law enforcement services. The type of law
enforcement service needs are influenced by several factors, including type, size, and location
of parks and trails, levels of development, neighboring properties, number of users, hours of
use, transportation systems, parking, and other support facilities. Vehicle patrol would serve
parks and trails located along roadways. Parks and trails located away from transportation
corridors may require specialized patrols, such as the mountain bike patrols. Park, trail, and
trailhead design will consider provisions for crime prevention, such as security lighting,
emergency phone service, clearing and pruning landscaping, fencing, a neighborhood watch
program and access for emergency vehicles.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
Proposed neighborhood parks are distributed throughout the UGA to enable walking or
bicycling to them as a means to reduce demands on the transportation system.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment.
The proposed PRMP is in compliance with local, state and federal regulations, and all
development of future parks and trail segments shall also comply with all local, state, and
federal regulations.
