About

Overlook Point Park is a tiny, scenic spot in Tumwater that is prized for its incredible views of the Capitol building and Mount Rainier on clear days. It is not a traditional park with playgrounds or trails, but rather a quiet place to sit, swing, and enjoy the scenery. While some visitors find it too small or feel it has been encroached upon by new apartments, it remains a favorite for sunrise and sunset views.
