Build an RC Car Park in Sammamish, Wa.

The hobby of radio-controlled (RC) car racing offers a unique intersection of engineering, skill development, and community connection. Currently, enthusiasts in Sammamish lack a dedicated, accessible space to practice and engage with this hobby, forcing residents to travel to neighboring cities or utilize unsuitable public spaces. Establishing a local RC car park would provide a constructive, tech-focused outlet for youth and adults alike, fostering a sense of community while encouraging STEM-based learning through vehicle maintenance and track navigation.

We are calling on the Sammamish City Council and the Parks and Recreation Department to designate an underutilized area of our local park system for the development of a multi-surface RC track. This project requires minimal infrastructure compared to traditional athletic fields and offers a high-value return in terms of recreational diversity. We invite fellow residents to sign this petition to demonstrate the community demand for this facility and to join us in advocating for a space that promotes innovation, inclusivity, and active outdoor engagement for all ages.
