Company Profile
Associated Recreation Council
Company Overview
The Associated Recreation Council (ARC), in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation, serves Seattle by offering a variety of recreational and life long learning programs, classes and activities.
Company History
ARC, incorporated in 1975 as an independent nonprofit organization, supports this work through the ARC Board of Directors and a system of 37 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.
Our current agreement with Seattle Parks and Recreation is up for renewal in 2028 and continues to be an excellent example of a public/private partnership serving the best interests of the Seattle community.
