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

The 27-acre Wright Park Arboretum contains more than 700 mature trees representing about 100 different native and exotic species throughout its grounds.

Charles Barstow Wright donated the initial 20 acres in 1886, stipulating the land must serve exclusively as a public park for Tacoma residents.

The W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory displays rotating exhibits of floral arrangements with 300 to 500 blooming plants and sculptures reflecting African traditions.

Metro Parks Tacoma maintains this National Register of Historic Places site, which includes walking trails, lawns, a pond, playgrounds, and basketball courts.

The twelve-sided central dome of the 1907 greenhouse features approximately 3,500 glass panes and houses more than 550 plant species.
