Great community resource... for free blueberries. This park is surprisingly well maintained for an area notorious for homeless activity.The blueberry orchard is mowed and pruned to make picking easier. Though the season is well underway, there are still lots of berries yet to ripen. Most everything at eye level is gone... but try kneeling, there are a lot of berries down low!Taller folks will have choice berries on top. But reach inside the bushes...there are plenty of berries hidden inside. I harvested a quart in 30 minutes.

This park is really cute and we need more like it. I love that you can pick berries for free. Could maintained amd cleaned up a big though. Also it would have been cool if they had planted apple trees instead of the ones the did.

Free blueberries, as many as you want. Some to eat, some to take with you. Cant beat that! Just watch for holes in the ground, covered by the dead grass.

Highly recommend! Great place to pick blueberries. It is well taken care of and the berries are fantastic! Rows and rows of yummy berries! We went early in the season to check it out and were pleasantly surprised!

Its a great little park to go pick some really delicious blueberries and blackberries. I love how anyone can go get their fill. Ive only been once and didnt have enough the to explore the entire park, I only picked berries in one little section. The area that I picked in had clear rows to walk down and gradually became a little over grown the deeper I went. It was big enough that families were able to spread out and pick berries while maintaining a good amount of social distancing that the covid virus is forcing us to keep. Over all it was a really great family friendly activity to let us spend time with our friends in the fresh air while picking enough berries to make a variety of deserts at the same time. Im looking forward to going again and exploring more of what the park has to offer.

Free blueberries for everyone! Whats not to love?Please wear sturdy shoes and long pants, and bring clippers to trim back blackberry bushes. Theyre taking over!

I love this place because of the unlimited amounts of free blueberries you can pick. Lots of different varieties to choose from, theres free parking on the street. Sometimes the homeless are trying to sleep there, but they keep them out for the most part, there are outhouses and some of the paths are paved. Just watch out for bees.

At the beginning of August, there were so many blueberries available for harvesting! We went to the back bushes and collected about 2 quarts. Its a bit over grown in the back, but if you wear good shoes and are not afraid to get up in there for the berries, its worth the time spent. Delicious!

Great place to get blue berries and the community garden is best by far. Found free goodies that taste way better than store... nice stroll through the blue Berry patches...

Great park to go solo picking or bring the entire the family. The park has 5 kinds of blueberries. If you look towards the ground you may even find Dew berries, blackberries, and even Oregon grapes. This is truly a little known gem of Tacoma!

There Is a main paved path that people can walk with strollers and wheelchairs can move without issue. I would have to go back and check on the wheelchair accessibility entrance. Parking is along the street.No paving around seated tables where its shady.There is a playground on the North side, with a bench outside the fence to watch kidlets. No paving inside playground, though.Its so much bigger than it used to be! They (berries) should be ready in another month or so. Bring a large brim hat, sunscreen and water!

I think it was really quite a surprise at how nice it was. There are thousands of bushes. It is layed out in rows and is quite organized. They have a few benches and picnic tables to rest at along the way. And the harvest even in early September is amazing! Dont forget to bring a bucket to collect your bounty

No bathrooms but a relaxing place to visit. In the late Summer/early Fall is the best time to go because all the blueberries are ripening. Hundreds of different bushes and also many different tastes and types of blueberries. Can be crowded, but its beautifully maintained and fun to go pick the blueberries for free. Sometimes there are even events. Great place.

This place is great but with more help from those who use it it can easily be awesome. This place needs people to bring their shears with them as you pick clip the blackberry vines and remove them from the blueberry bushes if you pile em up the county parks workers will pick them up. I did talk to parks workers and that was their idea. Also there is a large orchard also but the blackberries are strangling them and that cant bear much fruit. If you had time to free the fruit tress from this choke hold you would surely see fruit from your

I cant believe theres a farm where you can pick blueberries for free! The berries are smaller than others Ive picked, but they still taste delicious. And you cant beat the price! I am so grateful a friend told me about this place - a rare gem in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

Went yesterday with my youngent son and my stepdad and had a wonderful day picking blueberries. So many bushes to pick from for free and its so great to hear that theres volunteers from the area and city that keep it up.

Simply beautiful. Tacoma metro parks and grace missionary Baptist and some really great neighbors have made such a big impact in making charolettes blueberry park a place where families can go and spend a day. Gardening, playing, or just talking and taking a walk. Been playing in these fields since I was in elementary school.

Great place to spend the afternoon picking berries and playing at the new play structure. The blueberries, as of July 5th are not very ripe. The bushes have tons of green berries on them and I think in about 2 weeks youll have tons of ripe blueberries to pick.
