Description
Have fun on the real life Chutes and Ladders that are equally entertaining (and tiring) for both kids and adults! You will find a set of six stairs and slides at the Dune Peninsula at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, Washington – with each staircase, catch your breath and enjoy the scenery.
The slides are at the end of the new Wilson Way Bridge, that connects Ruston Way to Point Defiance. Watch the ferry dock and take off from this amazing vantage point.
On sunny days, the metal slides are very hot. Bring a blanket or towel to slide on! We were not prepared the first time going, however, as we left to continue our way to the Ruston waterfront, we saw a family bringing their own towels to slide on.Â
Check out our Stairs and Slides images, video, and 360 virtual tour below! Enjoy!

Point Defiance Park is connected to Point Ruston by a footbridge. Cross the footbridge and enjoy other family friendly activities on the waterfront (~1 mile from the Duck Pond)
Note to Self
- Slides can be fast. Slides are on the narrow side, however, adults can still squeeze in!
- There is a multi purpose parking lot just at the bottom of the stairs where you can park easily and access to the slides.
- Stroller friendly bridge to the slides from Ruston Way or Point Defiance.
- Parents can sit on small tables at the bottom while kids run up and slide down the having fun.
- If you are lucky, you can find sea otters swimming about in the yaht club, and geese with their babies, depending on the time of year.
- Catching the Vashon ferry? Stairs and Slides are walking distance from the waiting area.
