Wright Park

Wright Park is truly one of Tacoma’s gems! It’s a 33-acre urban park that feels like a mix between a botanical garden and a community gathering space. The moment you step in, you’re surrounded by towering, hundred-year-old trees from all over the world that give the park a magical, shaded atmosphere. It’s not just a park, it’s also an arboretum, so tree lovers will appreciate the variety and history here. At the heart of it all is the Seymour Conservatory, a Victorian-style glasshouse that looks like it belongs in a storybook. Inside, you’ll find a lush collection of tropical plants, seasonal floral displays, and even quirky additions like cacti and Golden Dart Frogs (fun fact: in the wild, they’re considered the most poisonous frogs on Earth, but here they’re safe since their diet is different). Beyond the conservatory, the park has a beautiful lily pond, fountains, open lawns perfect for picnics, and plenty of walking paths. It’s also very family-friendly with playgrounds and lots of space to run around. Wright Park has that perfect mix of history, nature, and community. Whether you’re here to stroll among the century-old trees, relax by the pond, or pop into the conservatory, it’s easily one of Tacoma’s most picturesque hidden gems. Best part? Admission is free, with a donation box available if you’d like to support it.

Wright Park is always beautiful. The walking trails wind around the park, inviting you to see the different trees, plants, flowers, and birds. Each lap around is about a mile. There is a lovely pond and a nice playground with a splash pad, along with restrooms. The conservatory is a piece of history, filled with many botanical wonders. It has a gift shop and restrooms. All in all, a great place to relax or take a stroll. Don't miss it.

One of the most beautiful parks anywhere in the area...nice walking paths and plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the environment. Very peaceful.

Nice beautiful park with open paved trails. Just under a mile if you walk the outer trail. Their is a pond, a glass building and levels

I love this park. One of my favorites to take my lil girl and just let her run! It is also very well maintained for the area that it sits in.

Stunningly beautiful park w I th and historic conservatory that will please all that enter. Definitely Worth taking a side or day trip to enjoy

What a fantastic park! I like to tell people it’s basically like a Central Park but much smaller. Clean and well kept, lots of different trails and paths but all that are visible. The conservatory is breathe taking especially for being donation based! There are a lot of different kinds of great big trees that were planted in 1895. Definitely recommend this place to people, especially with small children as there’s a large park and splash pad!
