Chetzemoka Park, Port Townsend

From the rose-covered gazebo to the picnic areas and playground, this 10-acre park is a great afternoon spot for romance or family fun. Walk along the wooded cliff for amazing views of Whidbey Island and Admiralty Inlet. At low tide, you'll see folks digging for clams right below you. For a shadier setting, follow the winding paths through the rose garden and playground above the creek. The trees are at their best in July and August. Reserve the kitchen area in advance for larger groups. An occasional local band appears on the bandstand for evening entertainment.
