Dickman Mill Park - Dickman Mill Park Work Party
Come on down to the Tacoma Waterfront and help care for the important habitat at Dickman Mill Park along Ruston Way by removing invasive blackberry that once covered the whole area!
Stewards and Volunteers have been hard at work to keep the blackberries away and we need your help to make sure they don't return!
Come rain or shine! All ages and abilities are welcome. Tools, training, and gloves provided.

Our parks need you
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.
