Good, hilly, medium sized public park with hiking/running trails, basketball courts, playground and ball field. Limited public parking - the only I could find is at the corner of South Fife st and 58th.

This is a pretty interesting Park as far as theres a great amount of trail walking space just bring your friend a dog and possibly a weapon LOL whats here is a very nice walking trail which Macys Works through Wapato Hills definitely a Great Wok and definitely fresh air blows here which is surprising being the last of the uncut Forester wilderness. Tell me how the strange overtone of Wapato Hills ever got that way I dont know

Lovely wildlife preserve in the city with a nice view on the hill. There is also a large grassy play area and regular restrooms. Do be aware some of the wildlife are meth-heads. They mostly habitat the Northeast area on side trails. If this worries you just stay on the designated paths and youll be fine.

One of my favorite parks...its small, has the big toy w/swings & slide for kids; water sprinkler park but was off today; ball field for baseball or kickball; no grill area but u can bring & setup ur own; there are restrooms & theres a trail to walk as well as a sidewalked area around park to stroll if u want. Sits in middle of a neighborhood & is quiet. The downside is the residents in neighborhood petitioned for permit parking so u cant park in front of the park, u have to park on the side street which is a very steep hill & pkg can be very limited on wkends. Otherwise its a great little park...oh bring ur own chairs & tables & maybe shade becuz its pretty open.

Great loop trail, off-leash dog park, picnic tables, benches, grass lawns, bathrooms. It has a lot. Would like to see a complete loop dirt/soft-surface trail, but there are still a lot of dirt & gravel trails that are mostly flat.

There was no transients no druggies hanging around. Amazing playground with ample benches and picnic tables line the outside of playground. With plenty of shade a little simple spay park. The restrooms were clean and stocked the basketball court is lined by large cherry trees. And average of beautiful green grass with hiking trails directly behind the ball court

This place has trails you can walk, fields to throw and catch whatever, basketball court, big toy area, covered area, and small water park area. Should be something for everyone, if youre not too picky.

Cool park but where do u park ? It says you need a parking permit all over

Review №33

I wish I could give this 5 stars since I live right next to it but I cannot. There are junkies living throughout the park and they leave their trash and needles wherever they fall. Aside from that it is a beautiful park, especially in the summer.

The park is nice enough. Its tucked into a neighborhood and even though l am a life long resident of Tacoma l wasnt aware of the park. Looks like it has a spray park in summer. There are basket ball hoops, a few picnic tables,and walking paths of which we took one. It took us on a gravel path up into a natural area for about a mile and a half walk. Apparently there has been loiterers and some bad elements in and around the park so there is parking by permit only which you have to aquire through the park department prior to your visit.

Restrooms need to be open at least until 6:00pm.Nce park to hang out but be aware that they close the restrooms early. I was out and above trick or treating and I had to use the restroom and it was around 6 pm when I noticed that the restrooms was already close. Other thaat this is an amazing clean park. Me and the kids love it.

When your walking the trails it feels as if your in the middle of no where, it feels as if its secluded an not in the middle of the city.

This is one of the many jewels of the Tacoma Metro Parks system! Literally out my back door and filled with fruit bearing trees! We spend almost every night walking the trail after dinner! Not huge,but gorgeous! Only takes at most 45 mins to do the whole trail with 80% shade coverage!

So this is a hole in the wall park, surprisingly considering how big it is. The playground even has a spray ground for when the weather warms up. Highly recommend for the playground for kiddos and the easy hiking trails throughout.

Great park with great improvements the last few years. Concerns still with the water, need to empty and refill again. Sad that the homes arent still around it just for expansion

Review №99

Example of community that has turned its back on criminal acts they justify and participate in. Enabling and more via community leaders allows mindset surely to backfire when masses become aware of events, tenure, sixe and scope.
