Leaders needed for Lake Sammamish State Park group
February 5, 2013
By Staff
The effort to establish a community organization to support Lake Sammamish State Park is on the agenda for a Feb. 14 meeting hosted by the state parks agency.
The meeting is the latest step in a process to form a booster group for the cash-strapped park. The state parks agency initially needs to assemble a core group to take leadership roles and develop the group. Later, organizers plan to call for volunteers to join the planned community organization.

The early process involves outlining a mission, determining what activities the group seeks to undertake and starting the process to establish a nonprofit organization.
The proposal to form a Lake Sammamish State Park community organization stems from a December open house focused on the park’s future.
The open house, hosted by the city and Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, launched a discussion about future ventures at the state park. Options to improve the area could include a partnership among the state parks agency, city and a nonprofit organization.
The ideas discussed at the open house included a community organization similar to the Bridle Trails Park Foundation, a nonprofit organization established to support the 482-acre state park in Kirkland.
