Life jacket giveaways

Join us for summer fun and safety at various parks, featuring free life jacket giveaways hosted by Metro staff! Visit local parks with water access to receive life jackets for all sizes—infants to adults—while supplies last. Stop by the Metro canopy tent at Broughton Beach for water safety information, and then head to Blue Lake Regional Park for additional summer activities, including complimentary lunch for youth (ages 1 to 18) from noon to 1 p.m., garden projects, and scavenger hunts that promote learning about pollinators. All events are family-friendly and accessible, with accommodations available upon request. Minors must be accompanied by an adult, and a parking fee of $5 per car and $7 per van or bus applies. No registration is required, so come out for a day filled with learning, creativity, and safety! Please note that pets are generally not allowed in most regional parks, but service animals are welcome.
