Located on the water's edge in the Old Town area, the park was recently renamed in memory of Jack Hyde, former Tacoma mayor and leader in developing the Ruston Way waterfront. Don't miss the plaza below the grassy area - it's a great place to enjoy the view, which includes panoramic views of Commencement Bay, Vashon Island and the Olympic Mountains. The two-mile long scenic waterfront is a great place for walking, jogging or rollerblading. Fishing enthusiasts can find a place to drop their lines at the Les Davis pier. Public art projects add interest to a walk down Ruston Way, where you'll also find several restaurants.
