Welcome to Key Pen Parks

Amenities Open, updated June 26, 2020
NOTICE: We will keep this at-a-glance park amenity closures/openings chart updated here on our website and on our Facebook page. Click the chart image to enlarge.

We have opted to open the playgrounds at Gateway Park, Home Park and Volunteer Park. The public must note, however, we are unable to effectively sanitize the playground equipment. Playground equipment is use at your own risk. Restrooms are cleaned daily. Our office remains closed as required by Governor Inslee's Healthy Washington Plan. Most staff is working remotely, so please reach out via email.

Please help us keep the playgrounds open by following these guidelines:
  • Please observe social distancing recommendations.
  • Wash your hands regularly, practice good hygiene.
  • Wearing a mask is required outside when staying 6 feet apart from others is not possible.
  • Do not use playgrounds if you or a family member feels ill.
  • It is recommended that no more than 5 children occupy any one playground feature.
  • If the playground you're at is crowded, consider visiting another local playground.​
We'll keep our website and Facebook page current with any park or office closures, event postponements, and other park-related notices as they occur.

Please also note: We are not currently taking shelter reservations at this time.

Volunteer Park is a free public hot spot

To assist Key Peninsula residents who may not have Internet service or have poor Internet coverage, Key Pen Parks has turned Volunteer Park into a free Wi-Fi access area. This free Wi-Fi is thanks to the Pierce County Connected program with the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation. Best access to this public Wi-Fi is from the parking lot closest to the buildings. The Wi-Fi (KeyPenn Parks Guest) needs no password and is available daily for public use from 7 am to dusk.
