Geocache Description:

Well out caching hiked around found this spot. It's a walk right up to it from a trail no bush wacking.

A great park lots of improvement has been done and will be done. I recommend the long way. If you go down to the end of the dog pars by the big off leash area there is a very long walking bridge it is kinda cool then you emerge and cross a road and continue on another walking bridge. There is a short route but what geocaching has taught me is a big part of it is seeing stuff you have not seen before. Why the name? One more cache to honor my cousin who died of Muscular Dystrophy as a kid he got me hooked on the first star trek series. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The History Behind Wapato Park: One of the earliest settlers in South Tacoma was R.A. Radebaugh, owner of the Tacoma Ledger newspaper. Radebaugh purchased over 300 acres surrounding Wapato Lake for what he envisioned as a fashionable residential district and public park. Radebaugh’s Wapato Lake Park opened to the public in 1889 and was described as “rapidly becoming the most beautiful vista of landscape in this section of the northwest.” Following financial difficulties in the 1890s, Radebaugh lost most of his Wapato Lake property, but the lake continued to serve as a popular recreation area for residents of South Tacoma. Shortly after the establishment of the Metropolitan Park District of Tacoma in 1907, residents began requesting the Park Board to add Wapato Lake to the growing list of Tacoma parks. With little money available for land acquisition, it was the generous donation of 20 acres of lakefront property by Horace and Helen Scott in 1920 that started today’s Wapato Park.
