Come out and celebrate the opening of new amenities at Swan Creek Park! Participants can enjoy family-friendly activities, entertainment and refreshments.
This fun new recreation area in Swan Creek Park gives Eastside residents and visitors a new space to play, explore nature and history, and spend family time. Located immediately uphill (south) of Lister Elementary, and accessed via T Street, the new area has a 4-acre dog park, two picnic shelters, restrooms (to be opened in 2022) and 75 new parking spaces.
Split-rail wooden fences divide the parking from the surrounding second-growth forest with a rustic, natural vibe. Winding through the uplands area are five miles of renovated trails and 3.65 miles of paved pedestrian/bike paths, some laid over the original streets of the World War II housing project that once occupied the uplands.
The new improvements are located in the section of the park closest to E 42nd St & Roosevelt Ave, Tacoma, WA 98404.
