Tumwater A Place to Live, Work, and Play
Winter may still technically be upon us, but spring is so close that we can almost feel it! We at Tumwater Parks and Recreation are pleased to provide recreation opportunities that will help brighten your day and enrich your life. This spring, introduce your little one to the game of soccer at one of the Kidz Love Soccer classes, for ages 2 to 10. We are offering two spring sessions, both at Pioneer Park. Grade school and middle school students are invited to hang out with the Tumwater Youth Program singing karaoke, chatting with friends, and being dancing machines; or conquering the lanes at a special Neon Bowling event. Spring is right around the corner and Tumwater's spring baseball league will soon be underway. Though on-time registration has closed, if you have an interested Kindergarten through 5th grader, give us a call right away - we may still have space on teams! Junior golfers have plenty of opportunities to get involved through First Tee classes, private lessons, or even the 4th Annual O Bee Junior Open Golf Tournament. See the golf pages for more details. Kids don't get to have all the fun, though! Seniors can enjoy a delicious lunch while visiting with friends or try one of the many free activities offered at the Old Town Center. Homeowners can try their hand at a landscape design while adults with musical inclination can dive into Beginning Guitar, Taiko Drumming, Community Orchestra, and more! Fitness buffs or those just building the exercise habit can try their hand at something new with several fitness classes to choose from, thanks to a new partnership with Vision Fitness and Health. Spring is also the perfect time to get out on the golf course at Tumwater Valley - whether you're a beginner or a more seasoned golfer. Take advantage of the great rates at the Tumwater Valley Golf Club. Plenty of fun to go around!
