Reserved Parking - Fantasy Lights Walk

Sprinker Recreation Center's parking lot will only be open for paid reserved parking for the Fantasy Lights Walk event. With the addition of walking sessions, we are able to provide more parking available to help people avoid parking along the streets and risk having their vehicles towed. 

The reserved parking provides patrons an opportunity to pre-pay for parking at Sprinker Recreation Center in close proximity to Spanaway Park. We ask you to be cautious when parking elsewhere.
