Old Town Park

A quaint yet fun park for the whole family. Park consists of a large open green space for play as well as a large play structure, basketball hoop with small court and covered picnic gazebo. This park was a pleasant surprise off a busy street but set far enough back that it's a fun and safe play area for kids. There is also a circular paved walkway perfect for children's scooters or beginning riders. Close to fun shops and eateries. We'll definitely be back!

A beautiful place for a walk, restaurants and great views of the Sound.

Great park to visit, especially when they are playing live music in the park.

Nice park they also do alot of educational work for community. School tours, fun eventd.

We went for a concert, enjoyed it and the people there very much. Give it a try

I attended the music in the park and thoroughly enjoyed myself! Perfect spppot, shady, with gentle breeze whisppering over the open space. I am going back next week!

My daughter, grandson and I got food at metropolitan market for a picnic lunch at Old Town Park. There are 2 tables under the awning and another closer to Anthem coffee. It was clean and the park is well-kept. We appreciate these outdoor family areas especially during Coronavirus.

Please LIKE my review if it helps you!

Cute park! Keep dogs on leashes though, there's no fence and a busy street.

Walking distance to the waterfront, street parking, coffee shop, some covered seating.

A gem in Old Town!

I love this park. It's nice and big, you can play fetch with your dog; quiet; good for long walks; plus a place for kids to play! There is. Also a cabin with historic meaning, not just for Old Towne, but for the entire Puget sound and Tacoma community.

Beautiful Park in the depth of Old Town Tacoma. Had a nice pavilion and a incredibly historic Job Carr cabin. There wasn't any trash or litter and was really clean. Also, there is the Athem Coffee shop which influenced my morning. I had a great time there.

We had sp much fun at the events put on at this park over the summer. We got to learn about the founders of tacoma and asked many questions about their cabin. The staff was friendly and eager to answer questions/share their knowledge.

The event we went to had point defiance zoo bring iut some really neat bugs and the kids were absolutely enthralled the whole time. The handler even let the kids touch the bugs! Right outside the cabin is a beautiful park and we stayed for a good part of the day.

Parking is very limited though, so plan ahead!

Great spot for families as well as individuals that just want to go to a nice quiet spots. Great when they have organised events there as well. Feel very safe.

Perfect playground for toddlers and preschoolers, unless you have a runner- there is a big grassy area dividng the playground from the street, but no fence and 30th St is very busy. Come on a day when they are doing storytime or another event at Job Carr Cabin (best for ages 3+). Park is adjacent to Anthem Coffee. Limited parking directly in front but plenty on the side streets.

Pros: Shady, clean, free parking, not crowded.
Cons: Few facilities, potentially limited parking on a busy street.

Tiny, hidden little park on North 30th in Old Town. There are no picnic tables it nevermind: the green lawn is mostly flat and free of litter; bring a blanket and you're set. There's a small playground, a single basketball court and a view of the waterfront. Local favorite Anthem coffee forms one border; a cozy replica of Tacoma founder Job Carr's log cabin houses a museum on the other. Parallel parking on 30th is free at park's entrance and a steep hill at the back prevents little ones from wandering into traffic. I found it nearly empty on a early August Saturday afternoon, and a nice escape from the summer heat. A gentle breeze wandered up from the Sound, and the mix of towering evergreens enclosing three quarters of the park provided ample shade.

This park is tucked away and so wonderful. A big open field, bathrooms close by and Anthem Coffee next door. We most definitely will be coming back to check this one out.

I love this place! Always ample parking and space to play with your family. The added bathrooms in recent years makes this small neighborhood park a dream come true!

Quaint park and location. Great venue fir the concert in park series. Thank you!

Quite,Peaceful,Small,Safe,Perfectly Placed Park! It's difficult finding a shaded park, this one has the perfect amount.

Clean local area. Walk, run, bike all in Old Town Tacoma. Historic local landmarks.. Walking tours available from Job Carr cabin, thru park department and history museum. Eat, drink, visit the local businesses.

Grassy field, playseat and a bench or two for parents. Shaddy trees are great too! The Job Carr cabin is a great historical adventure for kids and adults to learb about the beginnings and founder of Tacoma.
