We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of TCC Walking Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about TCC Walking Trail
“Designed for everyday use rather than destination hiking, the trail provides a calm, accessible space for walking, jogging, and casual outdoor time.”
I've been coming to these trails for a long time (20 years I think), but there was never an official name for them. I just basically said "the trails behind TCC". I'm glad they recently posted signs making it official.
The TCC Walking Trail is a locally loved, low-key walking path located near the Tacoma Community College campus in west Tacoma. Designed for everyday use rather than destination hiking, the trail provides a calm, accessible space for walking, jogging, and casual outdoor time.
One of the best local areas to walk my friend. Patroled by TCC security.
