• TENNIS
  Sprinker is dedicated to bringing tennis to every adult and child who wants to learn to play. The program is designed with age-specific classes, each one organized in skill levels. Our goal is to get entry level players to develop the skills to participate in games and activities.
  
  
• RACQUETBALL
  Sprinker has 5 racquetball courts. Court times are for one (1) hour except for 'Early Bird' and 'Late Nite' times which must be paid for in advance. Racquetball court costs vary from $10-$12 depending on the number of players. Contact the Pro Shop for the most current rates.
  
  
• WALLYBALL
  Wallyball is a team game that is played with a round inflated ball in an area where a net is placed between 2 or more walls. Play is started by one team hitting the ball 'off the wall' or directly over the net to the opposing team's floor area. The opposing team attempts to prevent this by hitting the ball off the side or back wall and volleying it back over the net. The ball is out of bounds whenever it touches the ceiling, hits the back wall, or hits two or more walls on the serve or a volley. Points are scored when the team receiving the serve or the volley fails to return it in the manner allowed by the rules. The team to score 15 points first or the most points in a pre-determined time wins. Wallyball court rental cost is $10.00/hr and includes the equipment. A $10.00 refundable deposit is required each time you play.

New Playground and Picnic Area:

Sprinker Recreation Center's newly equipped playground and picnic area opened Friday, May 16, 2008. The ribbon cutting ceremony at 3:30 p.m. recognized the efforts of the Spanaway Home Depot, Thompson Elementary School and Native Plant Salvage Alliance.

The play equipment features slides of various sizes and curves, a climbing wall, funnel bridges, overhead climbers, swings, and a stock car spring toy. The new family picnic area was made possible by the financial and volunteer contributions of Home Depot of Spanaway and the Native Plant Salvage Alliance.

Home Depot Community Project Coordinator Heather Ely is working with Thompson Elementary to create an art project to enhance the picnic area's beauty and entertainment value. The school's art department plans to add paintings incorporating school yard familiar games such as tic-tac-toe and hopscotch and other games representing cultures in other countries.

For more information please contact the Center at (253) 798-4000.
