November 23, 2020 By Pierce County News

Pierce County Parks has worked diligently to provide social, sport, and recreational activities at various sites throughout the county in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to Governor Inslee’s recently released directive and out of an abundance of caution, Pierce County Parks is announcing facility closures and program cancellations as follows:

In addition, many facilities will have limited customer service on Fridays due to holiday closures through the end of the year. For more information on Pierce County Parks programs and facilities, please visit www.piercecountywa.gov/parks or call 253-798-4177.
