Wright Park

Wright Park was established in the late part of the 19th Century with a land donation by Charles B. Wright for the sole purpose of being developed as a public park. Since its original design by E.O. Schwagerl and Ebenezer Rhys Roberts, the park has maintained its original character. Its original vision was one of a bucolic, scenic, pastoral, passive park as embodied by traditional English parks.

Metro Parks Tacoma developed a master plan for Wright Park after an extensive process of meeting with stakeholders, a citizens' steering committee, two community workshops, online focus groups and Web based surveys. This plan was approved by the Board of Park Commissioners February 14, 2005.

It is the intent of this master plan to maintain and enhance the park's original character by reorganizing park amenities, activities, and facilities that have been haphazardly located in previous improvements.
