    Point Defiance Park Pagoda
    Metro Parks Tacoma hosted a centennial celebration this weekend for the Pagoda in Point Defiance Park. The event included free cultural history and natural history tours aboard two Pierce Transit trolleys reminiscent of the early 1900s streetcars that historically served the park. Visitors were also invited to explore the building, enjoy live music and refreshments, create handmade event souvenirs, and learn about the history of the Pagoda and future plans for the Japanese Gardens which surround it.
