Lacey Parks and Recreation Department

Lacey parks are some of the best parks in any town. They are very well maintained, clean and landscaped nicely. The children playground equipment is in excellent working order. Never any rust or areas that look unsafe. I walk these parks everyday with my dogs. Never had an issue with dogs off leash . Always meet very nice folks too. Such a gem to have these in out town. Kudos

We love Lacey Parks & Recreation. My son has been swimming with them for 10 years. They are kind, caring and compassionate. They have taught him the skills needed to become a great swimming athlete. The ladies from the registration to the staff teaching the classes are amazing. Thank you for being part of the community .

I do not recommend any park in lacey that lets you have dogs. I have a dog and I make sure were very active, well I started to go to different parks in lacey and one in particular upsets me so much. The woodland creek trail behind the community center in pacific avenue. I tried to go to the community center and complain but they say that part of the park belongs to lacey rec. so my issue here is that you are supposed to have your dog leashes AT ALL TIMES. Well I used to go everyday and I can tell you that dog owners DO NOT follow the rules here. I have an American bully who unfortunately has a very bad stereotype so I must keep him protected at all times because there are people who want this breed banned and will do anything to do so. With that being said when I see a person with a dog off leash I take my phone out and record for mine and my dogs safety. Ive been in many arguments because other people dont care when a dog is off leash. That is what Ive been told by a fellow dog walker. This is ridiculous and I will NOT be attending any of your parks until something more is done. Also Ive tried to call your number for the past two years and NOT ONCE has anyone returned my call or acknowledge that I left a voicemail. Lacey parks and rec that run the community center, woodland trail area ARE GARBAGE
