TACOMA, Wash. — With summer right around the corner, a popular Tacoma beach plans to reopen, display its new renovations and bring another source of fun to the community.
As the reopening approaches, deputy director of regional parks and attractions Joe Brady expressed his happiness about reconstructing the beach while preserving the environment at Point Defiance. The park’s total renovations cost $6.3 million and are a part of the Destination Point Defiance plan that was established in 2015. Funding for the new features was provided by Tacoma voter-approved bonds in 2014, Metro Parks Tacoma operating funds and Tacoma Public Schools, according to the release.
As described by deputy director of planning and development Marty Stump, the goal was to revamp the beach in order to make it an area that future generations can enjoy.
