We stopped by to waste some time before we could check into our hotel. When we arrived, there was…read morelive music, food trucks and booths selling goods. There was a sandbox, swing set, a swimming lagoon, beach access, a playground and the cutest splash pad. We were just looking for a grassy area to sit and play and when we found Windjammer Park, we hit the jackpot! I highly recommend this park. It has something for everyone and it's dog friendly!

Windjammer Park is located along the waterfront in Oak Harbor. It has a paved walking path that…read moreruns along the beach, but not on the beach itself, that has staggered informational placards to the side. The park is a pleasant place to come even when there is thick wildfire smoke. The breeze from the bay might not completely clear the smoke away, but at least it provides some circulation of the air. My grandma and I like to come here and eat lunch together. We like to sit and eat at a covered pavilion stocked with picnic tables and a kitchen, though the kitchen requires advance reservation to use. A playground is adjacent to the eating area. My grandma likes to people and pet watch as we eat, I prefer to watch the water and try and spot any birds or other critters that might be out. It can get a bit cold depending on the weather and the wind. Even in the summer months, we both bring an outer garment to wear. The parking lot by the baseball fields is where we park and it can get a bit crowded if busy. Still, it is a parking lot easy to maneuver in.

Very clean and fun park. All three of my kids ages 15, 13, and 6 enjoyed running around the…read moreplayground.

It's located next to a bunch of sports fields so it was busy when we stopped by. There's a fun tire swing, a pole to slide down, an interactive music toy, slides, monkey bars and so much more. Cute things to climb in and on. I love the military theme. It's close to a base so it makes sense.

My four-year-old daughter and I LOVED Fort Ebey State Park. We went on a sunny August day and had…read morethe best afternoon. Coming from out of state, we easily purchased a $10 Discovery Pass day ticket and parked in the lot. Using our flashlight on our phone, we explored the actual fort, built during World War II as a coastal defense. The fort is preserved well and you can go inside all the rooms and tunnels. There are also trails along cliffs lined with meadows and forests, offering beautiful views of the water. There are public restrooms near the parking lot.

He died at the hand of Hatain native men. He was the first non native resident of the island.

This is a beautiful park. I have visited multiple times. I was first brought here by a group of…read morefemale friends and we enjoyed hiking some trails and walking along the water under the bridge. It is a great place to enjoy the beauty of nature and have quiet conversation with people you care about. On this last visit I brought my husband and dog. I always appreciate dog friendly parks. My husband really liked the bridge. He walked over it and took some photos. I was quite surprised at the amount of foot traffic but I understand why people love it. We visited some lovely beaches and explored the tide pools like we were children again. There is a lot of driftwood here if that's something that you enjoy. There is also art to be found. It really feels like there is something for everyone here. I am from out of state so for those of you who are visiting from afar, know that you can buy a discovery pass for $10 a day on site for any of the state parks you want to visit. In the instance of Deception Pass it's definitely worth it.
