Reaney Park - Pullman WA

Even though Reaney Park is off the beaten path a little, it serves as a community event center. All summer long, free activities can be found at this little park. In August, the Saturday festivities of the Lentil festival will be held here. It's a good park to get to know.
Located at 690 NE Reaney Way, Reaney park has lots to offer. To get there, take Main Street and turn north at the west end of the bridge onto Spring Street. Lentil Lane will be to the left. Turn there and the park is right in front of you. There's a small parking lot to the left and a larger university lot to the right (access is from Spring St). The university lot is available to the public for free on the weekends and evenings (check the signs at the lot for exact times).

The park houses a gazebo where concerts and other events occur, two areas of playground play,

BBQ grills and picnic tables

Horseshoe pits

and most importantly, a swimming pool.

You can purchase a year pass for the Aquatic Center on Military Hill which will allow you access to the pool at Reaney or buy a Reaney pool only pass. Passes start at $35 (daily is $2-3 per person depending on age). The pool does close for weather but Reaney passes can be used at the indoor pool at the Aquatic center in those cases.
There are two outdoor pools at Reaney. One goes from shallower to deeper and has diving boards where the other pool is more consistent for lap swimming. I wish I had paid more attention to the depth since the information is not on their website.
The park's website doesn't have information about the park except the history which is rather interesting. The park was "started" in 1914 and the first pool was built in 1917.
It's a great park and one that holds a lot of memories for Pullmanites. I am going to try to go to the Concert in the Park tonight so I can share that with you on Friday. If you are interested in attending, the concert starts at 6 with The Mullan Road Band playing tonight (hopefully it won't rain).
