On October 24, 2023, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission announced the successful launch of a redesigned and improved parks.wa.gov website. The new, refreshed website has a modern, inclusive and accessible design. The refresh comes after many years of feedback from parks visitors that they struggled to find information on the website, especially when using a mobile device. Nearly 400 current and potential Washington Parks visitors provided feedback on the design of the new parks.wa.gov website.
New features on parks.wa.gov website
- Search for parks based on their location, features and amenities
- Access information using assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnification, speech recognition software, or keyboard and wireless trackball mouses
- Get the information you need about the parks you want to visit so you feel safe and know what to expect
- After finding a park to visit, get to the reservation system easily
- Give feedback and help to continue to improve the website so that information is up-to-date and is serving parks visitors
