Meet Me in the Park

Meet Me in the Park is a unique program designed to provide inclusive social, sport, and recreational activities at various sites around Pierce County for individuals with special needs and their families. Participants ages 5 and older will meet in small and safe groups. Each session is only as large as our current Phase will allow. Recreation leaders will conduct a variety of games, crafts, and cooperative play activities throughout each sessions.

We are changing up activities and locations for the autumn season to keep everyone meeting through the end of the year. Meet us for weekly socialization, try out the bowling league, and participate in special virtual events.
