King County Executive Kurt Triplett today announced he is proposing zeroing-out funding for parks from the General Fund in 2010 by mothballing 39 parks in urban unincorporated areas. The move will save $4.6 million and is one more way to cover a $56.4 million shortfall in projected tax revenues needed to maintain 2009 service levels.
Here are the White Center Parks mentioned from the Seattle P-I:
- White Center Heights, S.W. 102nd St. and 7th Ave. S.W., Seattle WA 98146
- White Center Pond Natural Area, 102nd Street S.W. and 12th Avenue S.W., Burien WA 98146
- North Shorewood Park, S.W. 102nd St. and 24th Ave. S.W., Seattle WA 98146
- Lakewood Park, 11050 10th Ave. S.W., Seattle WA 98146
- Evergreen Athletic Fields, 606 S.W. 116th St., Seattle WA 98168
