Reserve a Sports Field
The soccer and baseball fields at Pioneer Park are available for reservation. We strive to accommodate as many interested user groups as possible, though priority use is given to existing allocations. Groups requesting use of athletic fields will be charged for all approved and allocated time or games. Fees are non-refundable unless written notification is received at least 14 days in advance.
Tumwater Parks and Recreation strives to improve the overall quality of sports and athletics in Tumwater. We reserve the right to close any field, at any time, for maintenance purposes or due to poor field conditions. Play on fields that are closed or leagues/teams utilizing fields on a drop-in basis without prior approval may result in termination of present and future use. Activities scheduled through the Parks and Recreation Department have priority use of the athletic fields.
