Hang out at Gig Harbor’s skate park
I attended a meeting at the Gig Harbor Civic Center last week and was reminded of a great place for kids and families to hang out. Adjacent to the Civic Center (which also houses the Gig Harbor Police Department) is the Gig Harbor skate park. I’ve seen kids of all ages zipping around the skate park. Moms and dads can take the smaller kids to play on the playground at the site as well, making it a very family friendly, and very beautiful, environment.
The Gig Harbor Civic Center, skate park, and playground is bordered on one side by a small but pretty trail system, and on the other side by the Kimball shopping center, which includes a great Teriyaki spot, Burger King, and my favorite, Kimball’s Espresso. Kimball’s Espresso recently received their state liquor license, and they are serving wine and beer in addition to their coffee drinks and the famous (in my mind) yoguccinos. If you’re looking for a great way to spend an afternoon in Gig Harbor, check out the Civic Center’s play area. Click here for a map of the area.
