Activities
Let's take an educational walk next to the Duwamish River and clean up litter! We will start at the Tukwila Community Center, cross the bridge, and then loop through Allentown. The river needs our help. Litter and plastics are blowing into the river and heading out to Puget Sound, but we can stop them by cleaning up the river banks in Tukwila. Green Tukwila Staff can answer questions and educate on native plants, wildlife, and fun facts about the Duwamish River.
The walk is categorized as easy and the trail is paved. Restrooms at the Tukwila Community Center.
All ages OK
What to BringDress for the weather, some parts of the trail are in full sun so a hat and/or sunglasses can be really helpful. Wear good walking shoes and bring a water bottle and gloves (if you want gloves). We recommend a backpack; you will be using both hands for clean up.
Green Tukwila will provide bags and grabbers, so you do not need to touch litter.
In the lobby of the Tukwila Community Center.
Where to ParkParking lot- lots of parking.

Mission Statement
Healthy parks and natural open spaces are a gift to our city and everyone in it. They provide places where people can connect with nature, see wildlife, and explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest. They also keep the air and waterways clean, buffer noise, provide habitat for local wildlife, and absorb carbon to fight against climate change. These valuable places can’t take care of themselves in an urban environment, they need our help to make sure we have a healthy and green Tukwila-today, tomorrow, and into the future.
Description
Join friends, neighbors, and bring your families outside to learn about trees, shrubs, invasive plants, how to use tools, and much more. Work parties are being planned for community members and businesses to care for precious urban forests and to ensure healthy, safe, and beautiful public spaces to enjoy in the future.
