...because parks matter...because parks matter

Zina Linnik Project at Wright and McCarver Parks

A phenomenal success...That you helped create, Thank You!
 

The $3.5 million Zina Linnik Project capital campaign will build a playground and sprayground at Wright Park and completely renovate McCarver Park.  This community-wide effort will improve two parks that bookend and bridge the Hilltop/Central Tacoma neighborhoods where Zina lived and played.

The Zina Linnik Project gives us a chance to embrace our community and expand opportunities for our children to become strong, compassionate, and creative adults who can help make a better world.
