Metropolitan Park District Of Tacoma

About the Author

The Metropolitan Park District of Tacoma, established in 1907, has been a cornerstone of community vitality in the Pacific Northwest, preserving and enhancing the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of Tacoma's landscapes. As stewards of over 3,000 acres of parks, open spaces, and waterfront areas, the District fosters environmental education, outdoor activities, and cultural events that connect residents with nature. Through its publications, including the acclaimed 'Tacoma's Parks (Images of America (Arcadia Publishing))', the District chronicles the history and evolution of its green spaces, from early conservation efforts to modern sustainability initiatives. This collective voice reflects a commitment to public access, biodiversity, and the enduring legacy of Tacoma's parks as vital community assets.
