Cloverdale Park

Park Overview

Positioned in a residential pocket of Tacoma, Cloverdale Park is a charming 2.24-acre green space that's been serving the local community since 1968. This hidden green space tends to stay relatively uncrowded, offering a peaceful spot for those in the know. If you're looking for a quiet spot to unwind without the crowds of larger parks, Cloverdale might be a good option.

Location and Features

What makes Cloverdale special is its balanced mix of recreational options. The park features a walking path that winds through the grounds - ideal for those morning strolls or evening walks to clear your head. Sports enthusiasts can shoot some hoops on the basketball court or play a match on the tennis court (though we should mention the tennis facility could really use some practice boards).

Got kids? The playground is sure to keep the little ones entertained while you relax nearby. Planning a small gathering? The covered picnic area provides a cozy shelter for family celebrations or casual meetups with friends.

Perhaps our favorite part is the open grassy field - a versatile space where you can toss a frisbee, let your dog explore, or simply spread out a blanket and enjoy the day. The grounds are consistently well-kept and clean, which always makes for a more pleasant visit.

Accessibility and Amenities

Fair warning: parking can be a bit of a challenge here, especially during peak times. The limited spaces fill up quickly, so you might want to consider walking if you live nearby. Also worth noting is that there are no public restrooms available - plan accordingly! On the bright side, the park is particularly welcoming to four-legged friends, making it an excellent spot for dog walking adventures.

Hours of Operation

Cloverdale Park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 9PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy its modest but well-maintained offerings. The atmosphere tends to be most serene during daylight hours, fantastic for those seeking a moment of tranquility in their day.
