FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







1998 FWOC Resolution No. 17:

Developments in Parks


The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs is aware that there are constant proposals to place various "developmental projects" in urban open space parks.  Proposals range from sewage treatment plants to rose gardens to memorials, to golf courses to convention centers to off-leash dog run areas, and even to gambling establishments.

The Federation understands the needs of urban dwellers and city visitors to have green places of quiet and tranquility, and supports efforts of local groups to keep open space open.  Specifically, it supports efforts of Friends of Discovery Park in Seattle to uphold legislative protection of these open space areas.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ACTION: The FWOC urges member groups and members to write to President, Friends of Discovery Park at 3801 West Government Way, Seattle, WA 98199, and support keeping the Park free of "developmental projects."
