About the Park

Orangegate Park is an undeveloped approximately 150-acre property that is located in the Summit-Waller community at the intersection of 84th Street East and 46th Avenue East. The property is split by the Tacoma Water Pipeline, which will be developed with a new trail in 2023, and 84th Street East. Pierce County Parks purchased the property from Washington Department of Natural Resources in 1998.
