Park Spotlight invites neighbors of all ages to come out and play at their neighborhood park. Presented by TAPCO Credit Union and hosted by Parks Tacoma, this free summer event series features games, art, and activities that bring people together in five parks across Tacoma.
Each event includes active programming with Parks Tacoma’s Park Guides—like kickball, painting, and field day games—as well as self-guided options like tabletop games and coloring sheets. No registration is required. Just drop in, connect with your community, and enjoy the public spaces at the heart of your neighborhood.
As Parks Tacoma’s Environmental Sustainability Partner, TAPCO is proud to support this celebration of community spirit and shared experiences, while promoting a healthy relationship with the spaces we all share.
