Swan Creek Park

Getting There

There are several ways to access the trails in Swan Creek Park:

Driving south on I-5, take exit 135 in Tacoma. Driving north, the exit is 134. Once off the freeway, drive to Portland Avenue and continue south for about 1.5 miles. Then turn left into the Salishan neighborhood on East 44th Street.

Follow East 44th Street for 0.3 miles and turn right on East T Street just before Lister Elementary School and proceed to the gate at the end of the street. Or, to reach a more developed trailhead, follow East 44th Street past Lister Elementary School and proceed to the end of the street. Turn left (north) and drive two blocks. Turn right on East 42nd Street into the large parking area that includes an outhouse and picnic area.

For the Pioneer Way parking and trailhead at the north end of the park, take exit 135 to East 28th Street, which will become State Route 167 (River Road). Veer right on Pioneer Way and continue to the trailhead, on your right before Waller Road.
