Welcome!

Funded by the Tumwater Metropolitan Park District, in July 2024, the City of Tumwater has contracted with Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture to design a new Tumwater community center. 

We couldn’t be more excited to share our progress with you. Check this page frequently for project updates.

Tumwater community center design project open house #1 

Monday, October 21, 5 - 7 p.m.
Tumwater Middle School Cafeteria

Come out and help us decide what will be in YOUR community center! Attend our first open house to kick off the design project. Learn about your community through demographics. See a slide presentation of recreation centers across the U.S. and get a better idea of national trends in recreation center design. You’ll even get a chance to play a card game to help choose potential features and amenities in the future community center! Light refreshments will be served.
