One of the Places we would go just to get away from it in Tacoma, Washington was Fort Steilacoom Park. It was just a nice wide open park with hiking trails, playgrounds, wide open fields, and many areas to take your family out for flying your remote control airplanes, and RC cars without have to worry about hurting people in the process.

As you hike around you can get plenty of exercise here. These trails go for very long distances. If your into hiking and nature. Or just want to get away and play with the kids on a wide open area. This place is nice.

One of the coolest things about this place is the very high trees. They remind me of very tall Christmas trees but, these huge pines as you stand underneath them all just make you feel so small.

Though I really wish I would have taken more pictures of the entire park. The best part of this place I did get. Around the little lake here has a trail that goes around it. Many like to come here and jog, others just walk and people like us like to take a lot of pictures of ducks for some reason. Either way, this place was nice just to get out and enjoy time with the family. But do not swim in this little pond. There are several warnings about it being toxic for some reason.

Just remember though this lake looks like a great place to swim. Read the signs. It usually is way to cold in Tacoma and Lakewood most of the year around to just go jumping in a lake. Though I'm sure some do.
