North Slope Historic Park

North Slope Historic District Park is a small neighborhood park in Tacoma, Washington. Originally used by Tacoma City Light as a substation from 1951 to 1983, the 0.23-acre site was transformed into a pocket park in 2002.

The park was created through a collaborative effort between local residents, the North End Neighborhood Council, and the City of Tacoma. Funds for the park's development came from the Thea Foss Bond Issue allocated to neighborhood councils. The City of Tacoma acquired ownership of the property in April 2001, and Parks Tacoma designed, developed, and now maintains the park.

North Slope Historic District Park features a wooden play structure for small children, seating areas, and a handicapped-accessible ramp. The park's design and equipment were approved by the Landmarks Commission to ensure compatibility with the historic character of the neighborhood. Local volunteers help maintain the park's plants and garden beds.

The park is dedicated to Valerie Sivinski, a former Tacoma Historic Preservation Officer who provided guidance for the creation of the North Slope Historic District. It serves as a quiet green space for residents of the historic neighborhood, providing a place for children to play and adults to gather and relax.

North Slope Historic District Park is open from half an hour before sunrise until half an hour after sunset.
