Hard to play basketball with no hoop, net, or anything
Josh B.

There really is a lot of room at this park. It's kind of hidden back in a development right off Ruddell Rd SE and the signs that tell you that you're on the right path are moderately small, so you probably will miss them. Once you find the park though, I hope you brought your soccer balls, baseball bats, picnic blankets, tennis rackets, walking shoes, badminton net, or any other warm weather outdoor activity supplies because there really is a huge amount of space. There are facilities next to the basketball court as well as by the baseball fields, so you don't have to go far if you have to go to the bathroom. There is also a lot of parking too, probably to be available for the games that are played on the fields. As you can see from the pics they didn't have any basketball nets or even basketball backboards up the last time I went which I found odd. Overall this park is really really nice for just chilling out and watching the little ones play or for taking a walk on one of the short trails. You just have to find it first...

I love all the different types of moss!! I think my all-time favorite is the Lykin (sp?) Moss . It has always been one of my favs. Later in my life, I had a beautiful kitten who grew into be a beautiful cat. I named her Lykin Roo. Lykin for the beautiful Lykin moss in WA state and Roo for baby kangaroos because both baby roos and my kitten hopped when they played.

Nice old park. Heavily wooded with old fir, cedar and maple trees. Lots of cool shade in summer. Easy paved walking loop. Bathrooms, playground, picnic area. Two ball fields. Large grass area good for Frisbee when games are not in progress.

Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club - Pickle ball court is great

TLTC has been so great for our family. After 18 months on the waitlist, we paid our initiation fees…read moreand have never regretted it for a second. There are two permanent indoor courts and 6 beautiful outdoor courts. During the winter, 4 of the 6 outdoor courts are put under bubbles for 6 total winter courts. Membership is capped so that court availability is excellent (thus, the waitlist). The pool is very nice and surrounded by nice gas grills and tables. During the summer, everyone grills and enjoys the pool and the weather. There is a dedicated Pickleball Court, a playground, and a full gym, which currently includes a club Peleton membership and two Peleton bikes.. The people at TLTC are great. I've made great, lifelong friends since we joined in 2017. TLTC has USTA tennis teams at just about every level and frequently sends teams to Sectionals and, sometimes, Nationals. The club supports these team, paying for team away court fees to encourage participation. The club also has a rich history. The club was originally formed in 1890 and has been at the current location since 1903. The old photos as you walk in make you feel a part of something special. If you're looking for a club in the South Sound and are considering TLTC, don't hesitate. The waitlist can be long, but the wait is worth it!

The clubhouse at Tacoma Lawn is nice, and the locker rooms look great. But the rest of the club is…read morebelow average. It survives because it's the only higher end tennis facility in Southwest Washington. They have 4 indoor courts, 2 of which are in a bubble. The lighting is good, but you can find much nicer at equally priced clubs. So, it's really only worth the money in the summer when you can use their outdoor courts. By comparison, the club I joined also has a 4 court facility. It also has much lower initiation, but still maintains decent membership cap to ensure court availability. Tacoma Lawn has a gym and much better locker rooms, but the club I joined has nicer courts in every single possible aspect. It also has as nice an outdoor pool. So compared to tennis clubs in Bellevue or Seattle, Tacoma Lawn falls way short. For the price of initiation and dues at Tacoma Lawn, you could join Bellevue Club, and have significantly nicer everything (huge indoor pool, much nicer indoor courts, awesome basketball courts, a more modern gym, cooler member facilities). But since Tacoma Lawn only has to compete against Lakewood and Sprinker, it has a market for itself. Also, in my opinion, the people at Bellevue Club are nicer and more laid back. If I lived in Tacoma, I'd just play at Sprinker on weeknights, and use the money saved from dues to drive up to Boeing Tennis, or a better club in Bellevue.
