Volunteer with Parks Tacoma

Our volunteer litter pick up group at Charlotte's Blueberry Park is looking for some extra support! Join Wendi and Juan on Sundays from 9am to about 10:30 to wander the park and assist in cleaning up! Gloves, trash bags, and litter sticks will be provided. If you have any questions, please email kevin.johnson@parkstacoma.gov

**All volunteers under the age of 18 will need a minor waiver form filled out and signed by a parent/guardian and submitted online, or in person at the event. Parents are also able to sign their minor volunteers in on-site at the event. Any volunteer under the age of 14 is required to have their parent/guardian present with them for the entirety of the volunteer event.**

Parks Tacoma manages over 2,812 acres of parks and green space, historic landmarks, community centers, beautiful gardens, and special attractions that give us all a chance to get out and play more.

We're asking you to chip in by investing your time and talents to help us improve parks and green spaces, protect neighborhood buildings, and promote a healthier environment while also helping to build a stronger community.

Our roots

Park Volunteers, formerly known as "CHIP-in!" originated in 2003 when Parks Tacoma faced a lack of funds for maintaining all of the city's parks. Rather than take drastic measures - simply closing parks and walking away - a proactive approach was taken to develop a partnership between the park district and the community to help keep parks open and operating.
