This summer, Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is teaming up with United Way of King County to offer a free drop-in program featuring meals and playground activities. Running daily from June 30 to August 22, rain or shine, this program will be available at seven park locations across Seattle (specific times for each location listed below). Don’t miss this opportunity for fun, food, and community!
A free lunch and snack will be offered to youth ages 0 to 18. Free playground activities are open for kids and teens and may include arts, crafts, board games, and organized recreational games.
No fee, sign-up, or proof of identity or legal status is required to receive summer meals.
Federal program rules require kids and teens to be present to receive a meal and meals need to be eaten on-site. Parents and guardians are no longer able to pick up meals on behalf of their children.
SPR is #ParkProud to help ensure that children have access to healthy meals during the week even when school is out, as well as to enriching activities and a safe space.
