The Companionship program is designed to provide recreation and leisure opportunities for individuals with special needs and their friends and families.

Companionship Dance

Pierce County Parks and Recreation is proud to offer the 'Companionship Program' for the eleventh straight year. Our goal is to assist the participants in finding and maintaining strong friendships. We help nurture these friendships through providing different activities in the community for everyone to participate in.

Since beginning in October of 1996, we have hosted over 600 different functions. Examples of some of these activities include: putt putt golf, dances, swimming, family play nights, bingo, baseball games, ice skating, swimming parties, craft nights, visiting the circus, bowling and going to the movies.

The 'Companionship Program' is funded by a generous grant from the Division of Developmental Disabilities and Region 5. In addition, the program is a cooperative effort with the Bethel, Clover Park, Eatonville, Franklin Pierce, Puyallup, Peninsula, Sumner, and White River School Districts and other local parks and recreation departments.


Our monthly newsletters feature the upcoming calendar of events, and help keep you up to date. As you view the calendar please note that some events may have a fee or registration fee. There is no commitment of membership. Come once or come often.
