The City of Washougal invites residents and visitors to explore local parks, learn new skills, and connect with neighbors through the 2026 Second Saturday Summer Series, a three-month lineup of free, family-friendly events highlighting different ways the community can enjoy and engage with public spaces.

Hosted through the City’s Parks Passport Program, the summer series will feature hands-on activities focused on water safety, youth recreation, community stewardship, and local legacy. Each event is designed to showcase a unique aspect of park use while encouraging residents of all ages to discover Washougal’s parks and community resources.

“Second Saturday is about creating opportunities for people to connect with their parks and with one another,” said Corinthia Barnhart, Parks and Cemetery Program Manager for the City of Washougal. “Each event highlights a different way our parks serve the community—from recreation and safety education to environmental stewardship and neighborhood connections. We’re excited to bring people together throughout the summer and celebrate the many ways public spaces enrich our lives.”
