In addition to conversion to black-and-white,
which makes it possible to distribute economically
printed free copies at the park
trailheads, this version of the map has been
reformatted to fit on letter-size paper.
Consequently, the map legend, list of trails,
and driving directions are on page one of
the PDF file, and the map is on page two.

Luther Burbank Park, at the north
end of Mercer Island, is highly accessible
with its proximity
to Interstate 90 freeway exits, the I-90
Regional Trail, the Mercer Island Park & Ride,
and Mercer Island's downtown business district.
Visitors to the park will find a varied landscape
of waterfront vistas, natural areas, and
recreation facilities, such as tennis courts,
a playground, and picnic areas. Luther Burbank
Park is also home to the Mercer Island Parks
and Recreation Department offices, and the
Community Center at Mercer View is right
next door.
The Luther Burbank Park map was originally
created by the King County Parks & Recreation
Division and the King County GIS Center when
the park was part of the King County park
system. The park is now owned and maintained
by the City
of Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Department.
Working with
the City of Mercer Island Parks and Recreation
Department and the City of Mercer Island
Geographic Information System, the
King County GIS Center supplied cartographic
services for the map seen here, which was
updated and redesigned for placement on several
outdoor signs that are situated throughout
the park.
