Burien Community Recreation Center Project
The City of Burien's Community Recreation Center Master Plan outlines a series of recommendations and studies aimed at replacing the existing facility with a multipurpose space that serves all ages and abilities. Key goals include providing diverse activities, ensuring financial feasibility, and enhancing community connections, while the planning process involved extensive stakeholder engagement and public workshops. Recent survey results indicate strong community support for constructing a new center, with the majority favoring building the entire facility at once.

- 84. 2012 PROS Plan Recommendation: “Thewood frame facility has deteriorated significantly; lacks fire sprinklers; does not meet ADA requirements; does not meet seismic requirements; has inefficient central boiler heat; contains asbestos; has outmoded youth bathrooms; and does not meet current standards. While the buildings have been maintained to allow nonprofit agencies space, the facility has outlived its physical and economic life and needs to be replaced.”
- 85. 2012 PROS Plan Recommendation: Ifcurrent community center facility is to be retained with current uses, then components of the plan should be reduced accordingly – possibly downsizing or deleting the spaces to be devoted to senior programs and the multipurpose social hall, and the Family Recreation Center should be the highest priority. This could also reduce parking requirements and the additional land acquisitions originally proposed may not be needed.

Editor's Notes
- #6 The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the facility requirements to support current and future program needs of the following city programs and facilities: •Burien Highline Senior Center •Burien Community Center •Small Cultural/Performing Arts Theatre •Indoor Recreation Aquatics, Indoor Athletics, Fitness, and Passive uses for multiple age groups and interests •Culture Arts: Community Theatre, Cultural Enrichment Instruction, Performing Arts, Visual Arts Immediate to long range recommendations. This study took over a year of hard work by the steering committee to develop findings and recommendation for Council. The desire is to meet Council’s vision “to provide programs serving people of all ages, and quality community facilities.” Much like the Town Square planning effort, this study provides a foundation for implementing vision. Here we see Burien’s existing facilities. All hand-me-downs from the highline school district of King County.
- #7 While functional, the BCC and Senior Center are over 50 years old. Programming is very limited do to the conditions and space restrictions. The study began by examining existing conditions for programs.
- #8 Mechanical systems are in poor condition and are very expensive to upgrade. The electrical, plumbing and heating systems need to be replaced. Example: for you first car your uncle gives you his 1963 ramble station wagon. You drive it as long as you can, but eventually you will have to replace it.
