From the get-go, Meadow Park was promoted as a course unrestricted by the men’s club tradition prevalent elsewhere. In contrast to the country clubs where membership was required and exclusivity reigned, Meadow Park was the first course in Tacoma open to the public. Back then, what is now one of Metro Parks’ South Tacoma treasures was a privately owned operation. 14, 1915, about six months after the first municipal course opened in Seattle. The first nine holes of what was then an 18-hole course opened for play Nov. The system is designed to provide low impact golf cart wash rack facilities which allow for water treatment and filtration back through the ground naturally.

As part of the greater effort, we also house salvage plant materials to help the Alliance propagate additional vegetation within our open naturalized area for use in other prairie restoration projects throughout the county. We are re-introducing species such as Camas, Lupine, Western Red Columbine and species of concern, Aster Curtis.

It also provides important plant and animal habitat. This purposeful approach to course operations results in the use of less water, pesticides, herbicides and reduced emissions as a result of decreased mowing. We are committed to putting the “Meadow” back in Meadow Park! As a result you’ll find that the out of play areas are maintained at a greater height than most courses.
