Jeff Meyer: A cool area for a stroll. You get a sense of the lumber mill past with some informative placards. And the old band saw with metal sculpture is interesting.
Beautiful views and some decent birdwatching.
Michelle Timian: A beautiful park with a guided walkway through the history of the expulsion of Chinese residents of Tacoma. Very beautifully and thoughtfully done. The park is very gorgeous, with lots of benches facing the Sound.

Terrill John: Great lawn for playing and watching the summer concert series. And nice play ground for kids. The park includes a replica of Tacomas first European settler. Job Carr. And a stage for concerts.
R. Scherer: Im rating this bridge and area based on it history.
I had the pleasure of bringing my kids across the second Tacoma Narrows Bridge nicknamed Sturdy Gertie when they still used wind socks and flashing lights to warn you of the dangerous winds after the first bridge, Galloping Gertie was ripped apart during 40-mile per hour winds, leaving parts of it in the 200 depths of the torrential currents below.
Theres a story of a Giant Pacific Octopus nicknamed Gertie living amongst the wreckage of Galloping Gertie in the waters below the 2nd bridge.
My kids had just watched a historical documentary movie their great uncle had on Galloping Gertie, and they complained the whole way across that it was going to fall!
Now, with the new suspension bridge, there are tolls, how times have changed.
