CompanionshipProgram

Pierce County Parks and Recreation is proud to offer “Companionship,” a program designed to provide recreation and leisure opportunities for individuals of all abilities and their friends and families. Our goal is to assist the participants in finding and maintaining strong friendships.

We assist in nurturing friendships by offering many different activities in the county for families to participate in. All Companionship activities become a place where everyone is welcome. These activities are a natural place to learn how to interact, make friends, and try new things.

The program will host over 150 different functions throughout the school year. Those participating in the program on an ongoing basis determine the activities.

There is no membership or commitment. Come once or come often. Examples of activities include dances, putt putt golf, swimming, family play nights, baseball & basketball games, ice skating, picnics, bowling, special outings, movies, and much more! Fees may apply for some activities.

Companionship produces a monthly newsletter with a calendar of events for the month.
