The Tacoma Parks Foundation (TPF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Metro Parks Tacoma (MPT) programs and projects. MPT stewards parks and green spaces throughout Tacoma and provides recreational opportunities that enhance our community’s health and happiness.
Parks and recreational programs accessible to all, enhance our quality of life in many ways, providing health, social, physical, and environmental benefits to all who live, work or play in Tacoma.
Metro Parks Tacoma won the prestigious National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management. This success is a direct result of the support MPT receives from the community and from their partnerships with other local agencies.
Notice that summer camps at the Tacoma Nature Center are full EXCEPT for those families with financial needs such as children and youth experiencing foster care and homelessness.
