Summer is basically here and Tacoma’s spraygrounds are officially ON ☀️

Cool off daily from 10 am–7 pm starting May 23 through Labor Day at nine free spraygrounds across Tacoma. All spraygrounds are zero-entry, meaning they slope like a beach instead of using stairs, making them easy and accessible for everyone to enjoy.

Pack the sunscreen, towels and water shoes and make a day of it at spraygrounds located at Franklin, Kandle, Jefferson, Norpoint, SERA, Titlow, Verlo, Wapato Hills and Wright Park.

Reminder: Eastside Community Center will be closed on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25.
