Owen Beach reopens in Tacoma after 16-month closure for renovations
Owen Beach in Tacoma’s Point Defiance Park reopened Saturday after 16 months of extensive renovations.
Metro Parks Tacoma celebrated the beach’s reopening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of a brand-new beach pavilion.
Other new features at the beach include a new entry-exit road for vehicles, improved parking and an Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible children’s play area.
“These renovations have truly transformed Owen Beach into a destination for everyone,” said Joe Brady, deputy director of regional parks and attractions. “We are proud to have made such crucial practical and aesthetic improvements while protecting the forest habitat that makes Point Defiance so unique among American cities.”
