Let’s design parks for our people and planet.

Hi, I’m Bronwyn Clarke! I’m a civic designer by day, community organizer by night. As a long-time Tacoma lover, I’m running for Parks Tacoma Commissioner Pos. 3 to put my skills into service to help create more green gathering spaces in our community.

Priorities

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.
