Help celebrate open spaces and community in Puyallup this July, as part of Parks and Recreation Month.

From the City of Puyallup:
This July, we celebrate the City of Puyallupβs beautiful parks, ball fields, recreation facilities and community programs! These services enhance quality of life, provide citizens with opportunities to stay healthy and active, and offer opportunities for life long learning.
PROGRAMS & EVENTS
The PuyallupΒ Parks and Recreation DepartmentΒ is celebrating summer with a multitude of special activities for families, adults and children of all ages. The ever-popularΒ Concerts in the ParkΒ seriesΒ returns at two locations and with a new Outdoor βSounds & Cinemaβ Series.
Other programs includeΒ Summer Day CampΒ for ages 3-15,Β Community Campout,Β sport camps,Β summer wading poolΒ and a diverse range ofΒ specialty classes. A complete list of summer programs/activities can be found in theΒ Summer 2013 Brochure.
PARKS & OPEN SPACE
Summer is also a great time to explore and enjoy Puyallupβs several beautiful parks. From the lush, naturally forested Wildwood Park and scenic Riverwalk Trail to the fishing areas in Bradley Lake Park and skateboard facilities in Skate Park, each park has something unique to offer. Visit theΒ Puyallup ParksΒ page for maps, hours and more information about Puyallup parks.
WHILE ENJOYING THE PARKSβ¦
As you are enjoying our cityβs parks and trails, you too can help keep them clean and beautiful. Plastic bag dispensers are available in most parks to help you clean up after your animals. Also rememberΒ not to feed the ducksΒ in DeCoursey Park; feeding causes overcrowding of waterfowl and contamination of pond and creek water.Β
