Explore Neighboring Parks’ Departments and Multiply Your Fun!

November 9, 2010 by Maegen Blue

One of the easiest ways to multipy your options for low-priced family fun is to check out the offerings at the parks and recreation departments in neighboring cities. Non-residents do pay more, but the difference is typically only a few dollars. Just like that: You’ve doubled, tripled, or quadrupled your options!

Parks departments offer sports programs for adults and kids of all ages, but they also offer a whole variety of classes and workshops.

Here are a few options coming up in our area:

Fife

Preschool Kids Camp for Kids ages 3-5 December 6-8 9:30-11:30 Crafts, games, and more. 35.00 for residents; 40.00 for non-residents

Auburn

Nutcracker Tea Party  Ballerinas 4-6 enjoy a special dance time, snack and a visit from the Sugar Plum Fairy. Ballet outfits or party dresses that allow for movement are encouraged.  December 4th at 2:30  10.00 for residents; 13.00 for non-residents

Puyallup

Kids in the Kitchen (Scroll down from the inital page view for the current class)-Wednesdays-starting tomorrow. Kids learn to prepare desserts in this session. Ages 6-11 Call to check on availability

Sumner

Kids’ Martial Arts Classes begin January  Rates available for kids or families. Just 5.00 more for non-residents

Gig Harbor

Gig Harbor/Pen-Met Parks  Breakfast with Santa on December 4th at the Boys and Girls Clubs. Just 5.00 when you preregister!

Metro Parks/Tacoma -Nature Yoga begins November 12th at the Tacoma Nature Center. For older students, science club resumes on the 16th.

Obviously, I haven’t listed every activity at every park’s department. That would turn this post into a phone book (do people still use phone books)? I do hope it’s given you some inspiration! If you find a great class, activity, or program while exploring the communities around you, please do let me know! I love to feature the best of the best on Sounds Fun Mom!

Keep in touch!
