Point Ruston’s dynamic boardwalk, the Waterwalk, will comple the connection between the Ruston Way promenade and Point Defiance Park. This unique Waterwalk showcases northwest-inspired public artwork designed by resident artist Bob Gilbert, created in collaboration with local talents.

The rederings showed and captioned below showcase the artistic vision for the Waterwalk.

Paisley concrete water will “run” throughout the mile-long Waterwalk, incorporating large-scale whales, dolphins, squid, salmon, jellyfish, and other local flora and fauna. The “Orca Pod” features 3-dimensional killer whales created to scale, averaging 30 feet in length. These whales are modeled after the Puget Sound’s very own resident J-pod.
