This is my favorite place to walk in Tacoma. Wheelchair accessible and parking can usually be found for free without too much trouble. Restrooms by the playground near the stairs. View is amazing and it's mostly flat so great for all levels of ability. Really beautiful area. Plenty to do, shop, and eat but I'm always happy just walking and people watching here. Must visit if in the area! ♥️

Predatory parking tickets! All places on the property are now paid parking (previously the market was free). They will ticket you so fast. If you’re paying by phone, not all carriers get good service and you may not be able to connect to pay - you’ll still get a ticket.

Great place to spend time with family. Playgrounds, walking areas, restaurants. Also we have seen a lot of sea lions and beautiful sound views. You will find everything here. There is no free parking anymore. Only far away from the main interest zone.

What can I say if you want to park on the road don't forget your phone. You literally have to take a picture of your car's license, send it to some phone number and pay with your credit card. The little knot of roads are ridiculous. If you have money falling out of your pockets, then you might feel good about everything there being so overpriced from the restaurants to the condos. FYI plenty of lawsuits pending on that. It's not, old town Ruston, it's Point Ruston. It's really pointless.

Always a good little dating place or family spot. Could have a little more activity to do.

Point Ruston is a place which offers people of all ages to do something fun.. Kids have a beautiful colorful map of the area to explore with drawings of animals, mountain, rivers etc. & a play area Adults can get all sorts of food to eat, there is a long walkway right next to the water to take in the views. And on a good clear day, you might even spot Mt. Rainier.
Came here for Escape hour escape rooms. Parking was available right in front of the business, so we didn't have to screw with the parking garage and paying for parking. The area was clean and nice and had no serious issues. We needed to use the bathroom but it was closed for maintenance, so then we went to the movie theater but they had the bathrooms cut off from the public intentionally. We went into the exit doors and used the restrooms anyway. 4 stars for making the restroom situation sort of annoying.

Parking garage gave me a $60 ticket when their website was down and would not let me pay from my phone. Kept telling me to try again later until I ended up recieving a ticket. Over priced and parking garage is a scam.

Needs more police patrols or other type of security. I love going to Ruston, and usually, it feels so incredibly safe. Great fun, lots of places to go, the view is beautiful, you see lots of happy memories being made here. But when places get big and popular, it tends to attract the wrong crowds. Women are generally safe but should take caution on the trails. Had a group of 3 young men cat calling and following for a while. Of course they didn't do anything, but all it takes is one. Would feel a lot safer with police or private security guards walking along the trails, ready to respond to any fights, suspicious people or emergencies. Please consider adding security.
Good for date night or family.

A nice place for a walk and grab some food.
Spectacular views of Mt. Rainier!
