Ferry Park

About

Ferry Park, located at South 14th and Cushman, was Tacoma's first park. C.P. donated this modest park, which is just over half an acre in size. On May 14, 1883, he married Evelyn Ferry. The C.P. was platted by Colonel Ferry. The city added the Ferry Addition and set aside this plot of land for a park. He wanted to show the new and rising city of Tacoma how the European tradition of tiny parks strewn among residential neighborhoods might add to the city's charm and attractiveness.

Petzooie Tip

When visiting compact neighborhood green spaces with your canine companion, remember to bring your own fresh drinking water since amenities like fountains are not guaranteed. Keeping your dog close in smaller community parks ensures a peaceful experience for all neighborhood visitors.
