Vassault Park

"Great open-air park centrally located in the suburbs of North-end Tacoma. Walgreens is literally right next door which is convenient for those last minute "Oops I forgot to bring..." moments we all have. Only flaw in this park is the mushy grounds found randomly throughout the whole place. If it hasn't rained for a solid week or so; the water should all be gone, so it's not a year-round park in my opinion"

"City park with a small playground/ big toys area. Large, busy baseball and soccer fields. Limited number of picnic tables. Limited restrooms. Dogs are supposed to be on leash but often run free on the athletic fields."

"Beautiful park, but can be super busy to the point of overcrowding (particularly in the actual playground section) and only has 4 swings total (2 baby, 2 regular). If your kid doesn't like crowds and gets over stimulated or only wants to swing like mine does, avoid this park if you see a packed parking lot and multiple activities going on down in the athletic fields. However this was just the most recent experience I had, I've been here during the middle of the day on weekdays and the park has been much quieter and less crowded. It has lots of green space to run around on and a big hill to roll down! I do wish there were more swings though."

"Fantastic neighborhood gem, with tons of parking, fenced tennis and basketball courts, well maintained baseball diamonds, a small-but-super-clean playground and nice picnic hills on several corners with views of the whole park. And since it's right by a Walgreens, you don't have to plan your picnic ahead of time. Just stop in for some snacks and drinks before heading to the park."
