Northwest Trek Wildlife Park
Northwest Trek Wildlife Park is a unique way to get up close and personal with the native wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. Northwest Trek Wildlife Park was formed in 1975 with the land that Dr. David and Connie Hellyer donated to Metro Parks Tacoma. It's an extremely large park, more than 600 acres where moose, grizzly bears, rams, wolves and elk roam in their natural habitats. The Hellyer's wanted a place that was more than a zoo, a place where visitors could see the animals up close. In fact, 435 acres of the Northwest Trek Wildlife Park are free roamingNorthwest Trek Wildlife Park Animals
