Let’s design parks for our planet and our people.
Hi, I’m Bronwyn Clarke! I’m a civic designer and researcher by day, community organizer by night. As a long-time Tacoma lover, I’m applying for a Metro Parks Commissioner seat to put my skills to use helping create more green gathering spaces in our community.

Vision & Values
Parks for All, Made With You
Our parks should welcome everyone, fostering safety and belonging. By listening to your voice, we can keep making parks that truly reflect YOU. That’s why I’m committed to community-led design processes that involve underserved communities in every step of park planning to provide equitable access.
Parks as Community Resource Hubs
Parks can be so much more than places for recreation. They can be multi-resource spaces that serve everyone. By co-locating small businesses and social services with parks, we can create hubs for everyone to connect and access essential resources.
Parks for a Climate- Resilient Future
A just approach to climate change will always include our parks. Expanding green spaces improves air quality and reduces urban heat islands, giving relief during those days when the temperature soars. And designing for community makes sure there’s always someone to call. There’s work to be done to ensure every Tacoman has equitable access to all of this.
Join my team!
Metro Parks deserves leadership with vision as bold as its mission. As a young millennial, I deeply feel the urgency to design differently. I have both the curiosity, experience, and imagination to level up our dreaming and our doing.
I’d love to have you on my dream team. At this time, I’d be honored to earn your support in the form of an endorsement.
Stay in the loop!
