Connections that bridge: King County Parks’ MET interns

Crossposted from King County Parks

For the second summer in a row, the King County Parks’ Mobile Engagement Team (MET) program is hosting a group of college interns who are passionate about working with parks, government, and community outreach. Galit Berezansky, Malefia Gustafsson, Annabelle “Bee” Kisky, and Luc Tworek have conducted safety and accessibility surveys with pedestrians and disc golf players at Dick Thurnau Memorial Park, as well as other sites. At Marymoor Park, the interns have engaged with concert goers to share more information about outdoor recreation opportunities at different parks across King County. They have also supervised a Skyway Park Sport Sampling Camp organized in partnership with King County Play Equity Coalition and professional Seattle sports teams. As part of this program, the interns oversee a group of 100+ local neighborhood kids as they play and try out different sports and activities. Read more.
