PULLMAN, WASHINGTON
Private support for Pullman parks and recreation
We raise money for the programs, parks, and places the City budget can't cover. Our first project is keeping the Rec Center Teen Center open this spring.
FIRST PROJECT · SPRING 2027
Keep the Teen Center open
The Teen Center is a free program at the Pullman Rec Center for Lincoln Middle School students, every school day from 3:30 to 5:00. Its grant ends in December, and City budget cuts mean Parks and Recreation can no longer cover it. $6,897 keeps it running from January 4 to June 10.
Fall 2023
More than 50 middle schoolers in the gym every afternoon with nothing structured to do, and behavior problems Rec Center staff and LMS principals were struggling to manage.
Fall 2026
39 students registered and 10 to 15 every day, with a coordinator running cooking, guest speakers, movies, and gym time.

ABOUT
Neighbors backing the places we share
The Pullman Parks and Recreation Foundation is a volunteer nonprofit formed in 2026 to raise private money for parks, recreation facilities, and recreation programs serving Pullman and the Palouse. We are independent of the City of Pullman and grant what we raise to support its parks and recreation work.
