Titlow Park Public Survey

South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group and People For Puget Sound have been awarded funding to complete a feasibility study for restoration of the estuary including the shoreline and beach at Titlow Lagoon, and re-establishment of a fish passage between the lagoon and the Tacoma Narrows. Project efforts will also engage the public in the revitalization of Titlow Park’s natural habitats through education and volunteerism.

To solicit the opinions of the community to restoration actions at Titlow Park, a survey has been created. The results of the survey will be presented to Metro Parks Tacoma and incorporated in a feasibility and design report detailing restoration options at Titlow Park.

Your input will be valuable and we invite you to provide your thoughts in the survey below.
