Welcome to Lacey Parks and Recreation.  The department serves the community by providing health, inspiration and recreation opportunities through quality programming, facilities and community events.  In addition, the department furthers the preservation and enhancement of the environment through planned parks, open spaces and natural habitat areas.

With over 1,200 acres of parkland and open space, a premier regional athletic complex and several community buildings, Lacey's residents and visitors enjoy one of the finest municipal park networks in the state.  An array of recreation programs and special events are also offered, including cultural, sports, aquatics, fitness, outdoor, youth and teen programs. 

Recreation Programs
We offer an activity for almost any interest and skill level.  Hone your musical, cooking, or dancing skills.  Take a guided hike in the mountains or discover kayaking on Puget Sound.  Improve your technique in a favorite sport, or join a league for friendly competitive play.  Discover more under Recreation Programs.

Regarded as one of the premier outdoor sporting venues in the state, the 100-acre Regional Athletic Complex features regulation soccer, baseball and softball fields (many with all-weather turf and lighting), electronic score boards, concessions, picnic shelters, spectator seating and parking for 500 vehicles.

Community Buildings & Event Facilities
