The Future Vision
“The City of Pasco provides a comprehensive, equitable, and accessible system of parks,
recreation programs, trails, and open spaces that serves all segments of our community. The
parks and recreation system promotes community health and livability by providing
opportunities for play, learning, fitness, gathering, and connecting to nature. Trails and pathways,
safe streets and interconnected parks and neighborhoods further enhances the community’s
connection to the outdoors and linkages to river and region. The City’s recreational programs are
among the State’s best, with program offerings that are responsive to community needs,
reflective of many different lifestyles, and are an excellent value. The future success of this
system is built on excellent communication and an involved community at all levels of operations
and management.”Page 18 of 31
