Whittier Park

Whittier Park is a 13-acre public park located at the intersection of Elm Tree Lane and Contra Costa Avenue in Fircrest, Washington, a suburb of Tacoma. The park serves as a central recreational area for the local community, offering a variety of outdoor activities and facilities for residents of all ages.

The park has evolved over time, with many of its features now approaching the end of their operational lifespan. This has prompted the City of Fircrest to initiate a master planning process to guide future improvements and ensure the park continues to meet the changing needs and preferences of local residents.

Whittier Park is particularly notable for its playground, which is designed to provide outdoor play opportunities for children aged 1-6 years. This playground is one of the most frequently used facilities in the park, making it a popular destination for families with young children.

The City of Fircrest is actively engaging the community in the park's development process. Public meetings have been held to gather input from residents, with plans to incorporate this feedback into the final master plan for Whittier Park's future enhancements.
