Traffic Alert: Halloween-themed events at Point Defiance Park will impact drivers
Visitors to Point Defiance Park on Saturday, October
27 should be aware that the Pearl Street entrance to the park will
close at 4 pm.
Two events are taking place at the park on the
evening of October 27. The Black Cat Fun Run begins at 6 pm near the
main entrance of the park and Bonfires, Beaver Pelts and Bogeymen, a
Halloween storytelling event, takes place at
7 pm at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum.
Parking will be available in the Fun Land parking
lot for runners and walkers participating in the Black Cat fun run. Fun
Land is located east of the Ferry road, near the Pearl Street entrance.
Bonfires, Beaver Pelts & Bogeymen participants
can enter the park from Mildred Street and follow signs to the parking
area near Fort Nisqually.
The Black Cat fun run will share a ½ mile stretch of
Five Mile Drive with vehicles driving to Fort Nisqually. Traffic, which
is not expected to be heavy due to the staggered start times of the
events, will be controlled at all times by staff,
orange traffic cones and extra lighting to insure pedestrian safety.
Detailed maps are available at www.MetroParksTacoma.org/Alert/.
