Chetzemoka Park has an incredible view of Puget Sound, great landscaping with mature rhododendrons and other large flowering plants and a wonderfully serene atmosphere. Pack a lunch, sit at one of the picnic tables and watch the water. More

A large grassy area, a modest set of monkey bars, swings, and a single slide. Not the most elaborate park in the world, but does the trick for entertaining the 2yo and 4yo. If you feel adventurous you can head down to the beach which is quite rocky and skim stones. More

In the past 28 years of camping in Fort Worden I am totally amazed we had never found this park before now! Where my children missed out on this gem, my grand children are now having a brilliant time there - delightful and fun!! More

Located on the bluffs above Admiralty Inlet, the views from this grassy park can't be matched. There are ample tables and shelters, and an interesting exotic plants garden area. You can find old and interesting varieties of trees and flowers as well, throughout the attractive grounds. A steep stairway goes down to the beach below where you can beach comb,... More

100 year old park, like re-visiting the past. Big trees, lawn swings, views of the Straits, a kitchen and barbeque, rose trellis, and a gazebo. One of Port Townsend's treasures! More

You can sit on a bench, lay in the grass, stroll through gardens and walk along the beach. It's clean and well maintained. Great views and you may see a bald eagle. There's a nice playground for the kids. Something for everyone. Parking is normally a breeze and it's only a couple minutes drive from downtown. It's a gem and... More
