ABOUT ARC

Seattle Parks and Recreation partners with the Associated Recreation Council (ARC) to offer a variety of recreational and life long learning programs, classes and activities to citizens throughout Seattle.

ARC, incorporated in 1975 as an independent nonprofit organization, supports this work through the ARC Board of Directors and a system of 38 advisory councils. Citizen volunteers on the board and advisory councils help to enhance the mission and vision of Parks by providing a connection to the community and advocating for the success of citywide recreation services.

The current agreement with ARC will be reviewed in 2028. This partnership continues to be an excellent example of a public/private partnership serving the best interests of the Seattle community.
