About Pierce County Parks and Recreation

Pierce County Parks and Recreation Services provides public parks and recreation services to the residents of unincorporated Pierce County. The Parks Department maintains over 3,000 acres at over 40 park sites including: two recreation centers, athletic complexes, skateboard park, five boat launch sites, two golf courses, trails, a rock climbing facility, an equestrian area, and natural areas.

Pierce County Parks also manages the location for the Pierce County Fair, a salt water fishing pier, two disc golf courses, and a bicycle/motorcross facility. Additionally, a large number of passive open space sites are managed through our Pierce County's Conservation Futures system.

Our Mission:

As a regional provider to deliver quality recreation opportunities and provide inviting and functional parks, trail and open space facilities to the residents of Pierce County. This can be accomplished through productive planning, competent and well-trained staff, and efficient financial management.

Pierce County Parks is developing a new plan for our county's parks, recreation facilities, trails, natural areas, and recreation programming. The plan will guide the construction of new parks and facilities, the renovation of existing parks and facilities, and the delivery of recreation programming for the next ten years.
