Metro Parks Tacoma is an independent government agency dedicated to creating healthy opportunities for play, learning, and growth since 1907. We steward public lands and emphasize programs that meet the dynamic needs of kids and families.

Explore our diverse offerings, including Fort Nisqually tours, youth sports clinics (like soccer and flag football), and seasonal events such as Zoolights (November 27 – January 4). We provide access to fantastic facilities like the Point Defiance Zoo, Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, and Meadow Park Golf Course. Beyond recreation, we honor public lands and community needs through governance and safety guidelines. Join us in exploring the Tacoma area!
