PenMet Parks Survey
The PenMet Parks (Peninsula Metropolitan Park District) is in the process of updating their Comprehensive Park, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (Park Plan) for 2012. Your input is essential to creating a balanced park system that responds to your community needs. The Park Plan update evaluates the park, recreation and open space needs of the approximately 45,000 residents living within the District’s boundaries. The District serves the Gig Harbor Peninsula, including Fox Island. Its boundaries reach from the Narrows Bridge in the south to the Purdy Bridge and the Pierce County line in the north.

Please follow the link below to complete this brief, 11-question survey and help us assess the current condition and future need for parks and recreation facilities and programs in the District.
