About. The Mount Rainier Recreation Committee aims to facilitate multi-generational recreational opportunities in the areas of sports, appreciation of our natural environment, and the arts. The committee is the steward for the City of Mount Rainier recreational resources ensuring that residents have full access and take full advantage of our neighborhood treasures. Recreation Committee events have generally included:
- Outdoor Yoga Series
- Mount Rainier Street Scene
- Children's Porchfest
- Community Yard Sale
- Mount Rainier Pride
- Diwali
- Parade of Lights
- Holiday Family Outreach
In addition, the Recreation Committee is responsible for the reviewing and approving The City of Mount Rainier’s Recreation Activities Grant. The grant provides reimbursement of eligible expenses to organizations and community members who wish to hold programs, activities, and events. These programs must be open to residents within the corporate boundaries of the City of Mount Rainier and promote enhanced community engagement. Previous grantees include local PTOs, community members putting together Juneteenth events, and more.
