Pricing Snapshot
Yelm City Park is the city's longtime central gathering park and now includes one of the clearest inclusive play features in the Olympia Area: a wheelchair-accessible swing added in 2025 through a partnership with One Net Yelm. Families also get a traditional playground, a popular seasonal splash pad, restrooms, picnic tables, open lawn, and nearby community amenities. It works especially well for mixed-age outings because younger kids can move between water play, playground time, and open space without needing a separate stop.
