Eastside Community Center

Bring your pup and join Park Guide Jess for a casual one-hour walk through Alderwood Park on Saturday, June 20 from 2-3 pm. It’s free, drop-ins are welcome and the pace will be easygoing for dogs of all ages and sizes.

We’ll walk rain or shine on a mix of paved and uneven surfaces, so dress for the weather and bring your leash.

📍 Meet at the Alderwood Park picnic shelter
🐾 All dogs must be leashed and well-behaved

The countdown is on ⏰ our outdoor pools open this Saturday! Visit Pierce County's only wave pool or pop over to Stewart Heights for waterslides and lazy river.

Who are you bringing with you on opening day?

Pool season does not run on sunshine alone. It runs on lifeguards ☀️
