Parks Tacoma is seeking an Executive Director for this special purpose district located south of Seattle in Tacoma, Washington. This CAPRA-accredited organization is nationally recognized for innovation and has an impressive portfolio that includes 70+ parks, four community centers, and two AZA-accredited zoos, as well as sports and recreation facilities. The District spans a diverse region-from dense urban neighborhoods and multicultural districts in Tacoma's south end, to the city's revitalized downtown core, Puget Sound beaches, and the forested foothills near Mount Rainier.


PARKS TACOMA


Located in Pierce County, Parks Tacoma's service area encompasses a wide range of communities, including the City of Tacoma, portions of Browns Point and Dash Point, and Northwest Trek Wildlife Park near Eatonville. The District is governed by a five-member Board of Park Commissioners elected to six-year terms. The Executive Director is appointed by the Park Board and serves as the agency's chief executive officer, with responsibility for appointing the organization's directors and officers.


Parks Tacoma operates with a 2026 budget of $92.8 million, consisting of a $51.5 million General Fund and $41.3 million in Enterprise Funds. Staffing includes 410 FTEs and up to 750 part-time staff. The organization includes the Office of the Executive Director and three departments: Business Administration & Planning, Parks & Recreation, and Zoological & Environmental Education.


WHY APPLY

This is an excellent opportunity for an accomplished leader to guide a world-class, multifaceted parks and recreation organization into its next chapter. Parks Tacoma is looking for an Executive Director with experience guiding a committed and highly dedicated staff in the delivery of life-enriching park and recreation experiences. For a skilled leader with strong interpersonal skills, demonstrated business acumen, and a desire to become deeply engaged in a supportive and vibrant community, this is an exceptional opportunity to make a lasting impact.
