Theas Park - Tacoma (WA)

5 /5 Terrill John: One of my favorite places to eat lunch in the car. Established in 1996. Watch boats and ships coming and going. And ships loading grain at the grain silo. It also sports a nice beach. Thea Park sits at the north end of the Esplanade that travels (almost) the entire west side of the Waterway. And connects to the Prairie Line Trail and via streets to the Pipeline Trail. View of the Thea Foss waterway (old city Waterway). The Puyallup River flowed through here until the Army Corps of Engineers rerouted the river in the late 1800s. That allowed sailing ships to dock in a protected port. Tip. Take the elevator at the Murray Morgan Bridge to downtown.

5 /5 G Man: Peaceful..not crowded...great place to unwind, take a break from it all. You can actually see Mt Rainier from here.

5 /5 Tiffani Raimondi: I love this park!! My dog and I walk there in the mornings just about daily. Quiet, clean and beautiful views. Ive never really seen it very crowded. It would be nice if the were a portapotty or two but doesnt keep us from our daily journey for just 30 minutes or an hour or so watching the boats come in and out of Foss Waterway.

5 /5 Steven Duong: Nice area, good view. IG@steven_duong_photography

5 /5 Kana Smith: There’s not a great deal of park here, but what’s here is lovely. We often walk along the waterfront when we’re docked at the nearby marina, and when we turn around at Thea Foss park on a clear day, I particularly love the view of Mt. Rainer behind the park’s appealing globe-installation.
