Parks & Recreation

Another year has come and gone!  How the time flies.  We know that times are hard and it is up to all of us to spend money wisely and choose what would be best for everyone.  Recreation is part of an important social interaction:  the activity itself and the gain in knowledge and skills from participation.  We hope you will join us in one or more of our programs.  Make an investment in yourself, You are worth it!

Orting is proud to connect its citizens and guests to the beautiful settings around us.  You can do everything here ~ from walking, running or biking on the Foothills Trail, to fishing in the close by rivers; skateboarding, dancing, gymnastics, Zumba or playing ball with the picturesque backdrop view of Mount Rainier.

This is YOUR Parks and Recreation Department.  If you have an idea about a program, activity or a sport you'd like to see here in Orting, please share with us!  We want to make your ideas become a reality!

Hope you enjoy our "Small Town, Big View" with FUN!

See you soon!
