Description

Perched along Commencement Bay, this park serves as an expansive stretch for those who prefer to traverse on wheels or foot. Its paved trails connect into a wider network that runs south, making it a natural choice for biking, running, or skating. When the concert lawn is active, the space shifts to accommodate crowds with food trucks and open-air seating. Whether you are navigating the pathways or settling in for a performance, the experience is framed by sweeping vistas of the South Sound and Mt. Rainier.
