    Play Big at the Big Day of Play!

    This year's Big Day of Play is on Saturday, August 15th from 12 p.m.-5 p.m. at Rainier Community Playfield and Mt. Baker Rowing & Sailing Center.

    Big Day of Play is a celebration of our City’s diversity and it encourages neighbors, communities and families to have fun, build relationships and be active together.

    • Field Games and Activities Monitoring
    • Greeter and Transportation Support
    • Surveying Participants and Giving Out Prizes
    • Cheering on the Fun Run Participants
    • And much more!

    Service learning credit is available for students, up to 8 hours.
