Location
Get Directions
Central Lakes is the park-like area west of Downtown Lakewood. True to its name, Central Lakes encompasses Lake Louise, Waughop Lake, Steilacoom Lake, and borders American Lake to the south. The scenic area is mostly residential with a variety of moderately priced apartments situated along the borders of town. Hiking, boating, fishing, and exploring the lakes are popular pastimes among residents, but additional family-friendly fun is provided at places like Historic Fort Steilacoom, Lakewood Gardens, and the Pierce College Science Dome, located on the Pierce College Fort Steilacoom campus. Central Lakes is only a few miles east of the Carr Inlet, which provides more opportunities to enjoy water sports, hiking, and scenic views. Apart from the lush outdoors, big-city amenities are available by traveling 10 miles north to Tacoma or 40 miles north to Seattle.
