The Parks & Pathways program began in 2004. Our goal is to make streets safer and accessible to more people. New sidewalks create, complete, and enhance recreational walking routes that link neighborhoods, parks, schools, and trails. 

The projects identified in the Parks and Pathways program are outlined in the City of Olympia Sidewalk Program. Download a printer-friendly copy of the Sidewalk Program Report .

Completed Projects: In 2005, 2006 and 2007 we completed six projects totaling approximately 1.6 miles of new sidewalks throughout the City. Learn more about the completed projects.

Future Projects: The Parks & Pathways program plans for construction of over 13.3 miles of new sidewalks over a 20-year period. Learn more about future projects over the next few years.
