Annual Report
Message from the Director
On behalf of Tukwila Parks & Recreation, I would like to share with
you our 2023 Annual Report. Our work would not be possible
without your participation and trust in the programs and services
we provide.

Healthy People: Physical health is supported through fitness and
sports programs for all ages. One that we are very proud of is the
intramural sports program we offer at no cost and in partnership with
the Tukwila School District. Children develop a lifelong love for physical activity while being
exposed to soccer, basketball, volleyball, flag football, and track and field.
Nutritional health is also important to our mission. We ensure that our most vulnerable do not go
without necessary meals. Every week senior adults find community and sustenance at our
Duwamish Curve Cafe.
Strong Communities: School -age children find a safe, nurturing environment in our after -school
program, school break camps, and the popular Camp Tukwilly. Adult Group Fitness Classes and
Pickleball are popular places to meet, find community, and support personal health. Senior adults
find a thriving community with weekly trips to points of interest and enrichment classes that
support growth and stimulation in retirement.
Healthy Green Spaces: Our city's urban forests and native habitat are restored and protected by
volunteers in our Green Tukwila stewardship program. These environmental restoration projects
can be found in our parks. With 150 acres of open space including parks and multi -use trails,
residents have places to find peace and rejuvenation.
We are honored to play such a crucial role in supporting the health of Tukwila and building
connections and community among our residents.
Gear Up - Step Out - Let's Play!
Pete Mayer.
