Come Celebrate a New Community Schoolyard!
The Larchmont student community, Trust for Public Land, Tacoma Public Schools, and Parks Tacoma invite you to celebrate the opening of the Larchmont Community Schoolyard. Enjoy brief remarks from partners, school representatives, and students, followed by a ribbon cutting for the new schoolyard.
The Larchmont Schoolyard is the fifth completed Community Schoolyard in Tacoma. This transformative project marks a significant milestone in increasing community access to parks and enhancing outdoor spaces for learning, recreation, and community cohesion. Designed in partnership with students, staff, and the Larchmont community, the new schoolyard includes new play equipment and additional vegetation. When school is not in session, the schoolyard serves as a community space for approximately 4,552 residents who live within a 10-minute walk of the school.
This project is made possible by generous funding and support from Trust for Public Land, Tacoma Public Schools, City of Tacoma, Kaiser Permanente, Names Family Foundation, Washington State – Recreation and Conservation Office, Boeing, Bamford Foundation, The Russell Family Foundation, The Norcliffe Foundation, and additional supporters.
