Ruston Way Park — Attraction in Tacoma

I love this place the scenery is beautiful no matter what time of year. Its a great place to take in the fresh air, admire the view and clear your thoughts. This afternoon I was passing by after a dr appt. I decided to stop and take a few photos because it was a beautiful day. The park was packed. Not once did I get out of my car I only had my window cracked & my sun roof open . As I was taking photos someone was playing obnoxious thumping music for some time. Eventually they left.

Nice restaurants available in the area. I drove further up to the beautiful Point Defiance Park and also walked down to the Owen Beach. Good Mt. Reinier views from the Owen Beach as well. I had some fresh fish and chips with a nice, light beer at ‘The Spar’ restaurant in the old town area. Overall, the park and the neighboring areas make up a great day-trip from the Seattle area; however, recreational options might be limited here. A one-time-see area for sure. Not bad for...

Everything about this park is cool. Lots of picnic tables and benches to relax on, as well as lovely grassy areas to lounge.
