Who we are
Tacoma Parks Foundation (TPF) rallies community support for Parks Tacoma, formerly Metro Parks Tacoma. Our mission is simple: cultivate a community invested in providing parks and recreation access for all. We raise funds, build partnerships, and back the people doing the day‑to‑day work in our parks and programs.
Together, we make parks feel like home for everyone.
