Wright Park Arboretum, Public botanical garden in Tacoma, United States.

Wright Park Arboretum is a botanical garden in the heart of Tacoma, home to hundreds of mature trees from around the world. The grounds include walking paths, open lawns, a pond, playgrounds, and basketball courts.

Wright Park was designed by Bavarian landscape architect Edward Otto Schwagerl and named for Charles Barstow Wright, who donated the land. The W. W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory was built in 1907, named for donor William W. Seymour and designed by Isaac J. Knapp.

The conservatory's six sculptures by former conservator Clarence Deming draw on African, Māori and Aztec traditions. Its permanent collection holds more than 550 plant species, among them over 200 orchids, palms and rhododendrons, while rotating floral displays usually feature 300 to 500 blooming plants.

The 27-acre grounds are managed by Metro Parks Tacoma, and the W. W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory stands inside the park, so a visit can combine open lawns and a glasshouse. The conservatory's wings and twelve-sided dome hold some 3,500 panes of glass, and its rotating floral display generally features 300 to 500 blooming plants at a time.

The conservatory appears in several scenes of the 1992 film The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, directed by Curtis Hanson and starring Annabella Sciorra and Rebecca De Mornay. Its glass dome and plant collection served as a backdrop in the thriller.
