## About

Pierce County's flagship recreation facility in Parkland/Spanaway features a full regulation NHL ice arena that has introduced South Sound generations to figure skating and ice hockey. Sprinker hosts daily public sessions featuring cheerful popular music, gentle lighting, and dedicated staff monitors who ensure beginner skaters have plenty of room to practice.

On designated weekends throughout the winter season, half the rink is reserved for electric Ice Bumper Cars, which let children glide, bump, and spin across the ice in secure inflatable vehicles without needing skates. Warm seating areas, party rooms, skate sharpening, and a cafe serving hot chocolate and churros make Sprinker a budget-friendly winter excursion.
