Great park, beautiful lake with maintained path around it. Small playground for smaller kids, plenty of parking with a police station next door. I don’t think it could be any safer. Great place to stretch your legs on a sunny afternoon in the Pacific Northwest.

Wapato park is a nice little park in south Tacoma. There is a dog park, a small play area for kids, lots of different trails, a lake, and even a covered area with picnic tables and a place to bbq. Not the cleanest park and can sometimes be a little sketchy.

Great place to stretch your legs, when I want to unwind this is the place. 18 minutes to walk around, I usually make 2 trips. Pleasant place, plenty of parking.
