A Season of Growth, Play, and Community
Dear Kirkland Community Members,
We are thrilled to introduce our Spring/Summer 2026 Recreation Guide with activities for various interests, ages, and abilities. Join your neighbors in discovering new ways to connect, learn, and create lasting memories. This season, community favorites return – march in the Celebrate Kirkland 4th of July Parade, enjoy Summer Movies in the Parks, and splash around at See Spot Splash. This spring, you’ll also see exciting improvements at Peter Kirk Park and Rose Hill Meadows as we prepare Houghton Park and Play (HPP) for its next chapter as the future Kirkland Iceplex and Community Center. At Peter Kirk Park, the tennis courts will be converted to eight new pickleball courts doubling what was available at HPP, and the skate park will be expanded with favorite features from the Houghton site. Rose Hill Meadows is growing to include 40 community garden plots, creating more opportunities to garden and gather.
Whether you are looking for swim lessons, summer youth camps, teen activities, older adult programs, preschool classes, recreational sports, fitness classes, or facility rentals, dive into the guide and sign up for something that inspires you – your next adventure starts here!
Thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to creating memorable experiences with you this season - in Kirkland’s parks, at the Peter Kirk Pool, and at Celebrate Kirkland on July 4.

The safety of program participants and staff is the primary consideration when determining whether programs should be canceled, rescheduled, or modified due to inclement weather, excessively high or low temperatures, poor or icy road conditions, poor air quality, or other events which may jeopardize safety.

When school is not in session, City staff will evaluate conditions and make the appropriate decision to cancel or delay programs. When air quality levels in Kirkland are deemed unhealthy according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) website www.airnow.gov, all outdoor programs will be canceled or rescheduled. Additionally, the Peter Kirk Pool will be closed, and beaches will not be staffed by lifeguards. Refunds will be considered on an individual program basis but are not guaranteed.
Our inclement weather hotline is 425-587-3335.

Make-up Policy:
We do not offer make-up classes for missed sessions. If your child will be absent, please call 425-587-3360 to notify the instructors.
Most students spend 2–3 sessions in a level before advancing. Intro levels (Preschool 1 & Youth 1) typically take 3–4 sessions to complete all exit assessments. Youth 3 and Youth 4 students must swim laps without assistance. Passing the Deep Water Swim Test is a good indicator that your child is ready for these levels. For full progression details, visit kirklandwa.gov/SwimLessons
Level Transfers (different skill level, same class time)
If your child’s instructor or report card recommends a new level, you can request a transfer. Future session level transfers can be requested, and level transfers are free. If your session is just beginning, and you think your child is in the wrong level, please attend the first day of your child’s registered class level and speak with an onsite Lessons Coordinator to see if there is room for a level transfer. If the transfer prevents your child from attending, a full refund may be approved.
Class Time Transfers (different class time, same skill level)
If you want a different class time but wish to stay at the same level, you can request a transfer if space is available. Requests should be made at least 5 days before the program starts, and a $15 fee applies for each date/time transfer.
Swim Lesson Refund Policy:
• If you withdraw 14 or more days before the program starts, you’ll receive a refund of minus a $15 fee per program.
• If you withdraw 7–13 days before the start date, you’ll receive a 50% refund.
• If you withdraw less than 7 days before the program begins, no refund is available.
• Once the registration has closed, all withdrawals, transfers, and waitlists are closed as well. No refunds will be given at this point.

Deep Water Swim Test:
At the Peter Kirk Pool, all swimmers 12 and under must pass a Deep Water Swim Test. This test shows that your child is confident in the water and can safely enter, resurface, swim 25-yards, and exit in the deep end. A lifeguard administers the test, which is available during the first 20 minutes of each Public Swim session.
To pass the Deep Water Swim Test, swimmers 12 and under must complete the following (goggles are not allowed):
1. Jump feet first into the deep end and resurface.
2. Swim 25 yards to the far end of the pool without stopping, touching the wall, or getting assistance. Brief breaths are allowed.
3. Swim using front crawl or breaststroke, staying horizontal on the water with confident stroke technique. Underwater swimming is not permitted.
4. Show controlled, rhythmic breathing (side-breathing or quick pop-up breaths).
5. Exit the pool safely at the end using the steps, ladder, or pool edge.
After performing our Deep Water Swim Test:
• If a swimmer doesn’t pass, the lifeguard will explain what they need to improve.
• Swimmers who pass will have their results recorded for the season and can pick up a wristband at the lifeguard office.
• Lifeguards may ask a swimmer to retake the test at any time to confirm they remain safe in deep water.

PETER KIRK COMMUNITY CENTER
The Peter Kirk Community Center (PKCC) is dedicated to offering daytime opportunities for individuals aged 50 and over, promoting healthy, rewarding lifestyles for themselves and their community.
OUR MISSION
The Peter Kirk Community Center is dedicated to promoting the wellness of body, mind, and spirit. We offer a variety of activities and services, including fitness classes, art and lifelong learning opportunities, special events, intergenerational programs, and van trips. The center also provides health, legal, and financial services, along with a nutritious hot lunch two days a week and the Meals on Wheels program for the homebound in Kirkland. This drop-in facility fosters fun, friendship, and socialization in a welcoming atmosphere.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME
While the Peter Kirk Community Center offers a variety of activities, it does not provide respite care, adult day care, or services typically handled by a trained attendant, nurse, or caregiver (such as incontinence care or assistance with restroom
use). Our staff is unable to provide personal care, so participants needing assistance should be accompanied by an escort. Older adults with special needs may be eligible for other community programs, such as adult day care. For more options, please contact EvergreenHealth Community Healthcare Access Team at 425-899-3200.
ENDORSEMENTS
