Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Sunny Side Park
Sunny Side Park is a perfect place for a relaxing day of diving. Away from the currents of the Narrows, you can be assured of an easy dive with plenty to explore. An abandoned sewer pipeline that runs off-shore from the beach always has plenty of creatures to observe.
Found 13 miles South of Tacoma, there are other ways to get here. The easiest, most direct route is to take Exit 119 North on Steilacoom Road. This road winds its way down to the water where it becomes Union Ave. Take a right on Lafayette, and continue on as it becomes Chambers Creek Road. You'll see the park on your left.

August 10, 2008 Parking fee is still $5. You cannot drive into the park at all as some of the previous information says. Highly recommend a dive flag as boats may be directly overhead. Within 40 yards of shore, depths of 20 feet or less are great for working on skills and checking equipment out. A few fish & crabs here. Pebble bottom and visibility was up to 20 feet this day. If you go out on the north side of the volleyball court area, large log to explore underneath for life. Nice to take a hand cart to take tanks with you to and from the dive entry point. Otherwise, you will be carrying them a couple hundred yards each way. Cold water rinse showers are nice too. Nice park with restrooms and with picnic tables to have lunch.
