NARROWS PARK - 1600 Lucille Parkway, Gig Harbor
The Narrows Park is one of the peninsula's best-kept secrets. Situated on the shores of the Tacoma Narrows and south of the bridge, the 35-acre park features 1,200 feet of sandy-rock beach - and the best place to watch construction of the new Narrows Bridge. A newly relocated entrance and large sign makes the park easier to find. A paved road takes visitors inside the park and its partially landscaped grounds. There, a paved path winds toward a gazebo and the sandy-rock beach. Two telescopes provide beach and bridge buffs alike an up-close view of the bridge and new construction.
