The nine-acre Dickman Mill Park site occupies a significant place in Tacoma's history as a lumber-producing center. The Dickman Lumber Mill operated continuously from the 1890's until 1974. It was the last in a long tradition of lumber mills on Tacoma's ""Old Town"" waterfront to close down. Following a fire in 1979, the remnants of the mill slowly deteriorated. Metro Parks acquired the site in the early 1990s. Through the efforts and funding of the IAC, Washington State Departments of Ecology and Natural Resources, City of Tacoma, private donors and Metro Parks, the site was purchased, rehabilitated, and developed as a new public park. Located on Ruston Way along the Commencement Bay waterfront, Dickman Mill Park opened in July 2001.
