Pre-Banquet Reception

2022 WRPA Awards Banquet 

WRPA Awards Program: The Washington Recreation & Park Association celebrates people, parks, and programs with an annual awards program honoring individuals and organizations for their contributions to the field of parks and recreation in Washington State. We have three major categories that we recognize: Professional Awards, Citation of Merit Awards, and Spotlight Awards. Each year we celebrate the award winners at a banquet during the Annual Conference. 

 Post-Awards Banquet Social - Forum Social House

After the awards banquet, the WRPA is taking over Forum Social House! Enjoy private use of the Rockwell Sound Lounge and our own Top Golf Swing Suite! Follow that up with 18 holes of Par1 Miniature Golf! 

Show us your conference badge and play an 18-hole round of Par1 Miniature Golf featuring uniquely themed, selfie-inspired holes that keep you guessing from hole to hole. From Unicorn Polo, where you get to sit on an actual unicorn, to their virtual Koi Pond down to their oversized Golf Throne fit for royalty, you will find a way to have fun at Forum Social House.

Except for the cash bar, EVERYTHING IS FREE, including free validated parking! So, walk on over or drive to Forum Social House, located at Lincoln Square, just a few blocks from Meydenbauer Center.
