Expanded Operating Hours Coming to Seattle Parks and Recreation’s Teen Life Centers

Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is excited to announce a pilot program extending the operating hours at Garfield, Meadowbrook, and Southwest Teen Life Centers starting December 18, 2024. This expansion aims to give Seattle youth, aged 13 to 24, more access to fun, safe, and enriching opportunities.

SPR's Teen Life Centers offer a wide array of programming to Seattle area youth including special events, Late Night Programs, athletic gyms and workout rooms, recording studios, cooking classes, social recreation and much more.

Expanded operating hours will mean more secure and supervised spaces for teens, young adults, and elders to engage in intergenerational activities. This pilot program will also utilize signature events to engage youth in meaningful projects and activities. Additionally, it seeks to build partnerships with local businesses and organizations, creating career pathway opportunities for young people and strengthening community connections.
