Theres a small parking lot for about 8 or so cars and it wasn't busy on the weekend I went. European outdoor art exhibits inspired this artist to start his own sculpture garden. There definitely could be a lot more art but theres statues tucked away in small paths that you have to meander through so take your time exploring. It's a cute neighborhood attraction and if you're around it's worth checking out but I wouldn't recommend going out of the way to visit. Dogs are not allowed.

If you're looking for a quintessential Bellingham park experience, look no farther than this lovely waterfront gem conveniently located just a few minutes from downtown Bham. When I lived there, it was one of my favorite places to go on a sunny day, just to take in the sights and breathe some fresh sea air. Recently, we gathered here for a Mother's Day picnic, where we spread our blankets on the ground underneath the trees, flew kites, and enjoyed some major people watching on a perfect, sunny day. From our vantage point we could also see boats out on the bay - it was magical! I wouldn't complain too loudly if they added a few more picnic tables to this park. But other than that, it's pretty fun to visit. Bonus for the clean public restrooms (located in the boathouse building)!

Our trip to Washington took a weird turn when our plans changed overnight. We pretty much were…read moreleft to do what ever we wanted rather than scheduled things with extended family. So we went to the lake. This lake was located right around the corner from our Airbnb. Its very easy to find and if you get here early enough there is lots of parking. We just brought our towels and swim suits and picked a spot on the grass near the sand. It was a very sunny day out in Washington. The kids headed right out and walked out to the floating decks. They were able to jump off and swim around. They had so much fun. We were here all day. They have a small snack shack with limited options. We got ice cream at some point. Then suddenly the kids and my husband decided that they wanted to take a paddle boat out into the lake. I had no interest. They had a good time. I personally thought it was too windy and at some point my husband had jump out and swim push the boat back to the shore. He made sure to let the people working that they should warn people that the wind may make it very hard to paddle back to shore. All in all it was a fantastic afternoon. The kids wanted to come back again but our trip was cut short and the time we did have didn't account for a second visit. Not sure we will ever be back again but we would if we could.

There were people performing music on the stage and park goers enjoying on the grass. Just to the left of the stage there's a path to the beach. Another 2-3 minute descent brings you to a trail going left and right. The path to the left is a short trail to a rock you can sit on and climb down to get to the water. Further that way there's another beach. The path to the right leads to a nice beach with a great view and a shade tree. There were some bugs in the washed up kelp, but nothing too bothersome imho. We had a stand up paddleboard so we used the path on the right after the stage area. I would recommend anyone bringing gear down (scuba, kayaks, paddleboards) to use this beach. Larger crafts can use the boat ramp just north of this beach, and you can drive right up to that ramp (north of the stage and parking area). It was a beautiful park and a great place to picnic, enjoy the water, and view the sunset!
