Play area at Ft Nugent Park
Lee C.

Took the kiddos here to burn down a little energy. What a great park. It's huge. This park has several massive fields and surrounded on three sides by trees. The play structure offers lots of tunnels, climby things, swings, and has a little bit area. There is a walking path that circles the play structure so you can get your steps in while the kiddos play. Additionally, there is a covered picnic area. Someone was having a birthday party here. What a great idea. Feed all the children sugar and then let them run amok at the park instead of your dining room. Will definitely be coming back.

By far the best park in town. The equipment for kids to play with is extensive. There is a little kids area and an older kids area. Multiple slides, swings, a whole huge structure, tunnels, climbing, community art, and lots of kids to play with. There is even a shelter for the parents right in the thick of the playground. If that isn't enough there is also a frisbee golf course, football fields, baseball field, soccer fields, a walking/exercise path, basketball hoops, and I have even seen places where I see people fly remote controlled planes. There are picnic structures and it is right on the (free) bus line. I am also going to take exception to Tatiana's review. It is a great park. Yes it is the kind of park with manicured grass, playground equipment, soccer/baseball/football fields, a golf course, basketball courts, and public art. I rate things for what they are not what they aren't. It isn't deception pass state park, but I don't give deception pass a bad review because it doesn't have a baseball field. That is asinine. It is a great city park. Like I said - best park in town.

I came to the park in a trip to the island because I heard it had a disc golf course, and I love me some disc golf! Great little course overall! I like that there are adult tees and kid, and on each hole there is a spot to hang your bag, extra bonus! Most of the holes are in the woods, but not too much brush, it was nicely maintained. No 5 star because I hated the holes along the fence, they were dumb.

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

Me if the best playgrounds/parks we've ever been to. Always clean and always well kept. The kids love the massive play area.

Super cool! Writing this as a manual wheelchair user who can limp a few steps with assistance. The…read moremain plaza is incredibly well-maintained and paved. The bathroom was accessible and clean. From there, the trail itself is mostly gravel with some uphill portions. Getting up to the main set of buildings was a workout for me, propelling, and another person pushing me. There are two paths, one gravel and the other semi-paved with concrete ridges. I would not recommend getting up there without help in a wheelchair, but it was certainly possible, and worth it in my opinion. The buildings are super cool. The area is surrounded by nature and mountains. We turned back after getting tired, but will absolutely come back better prepared to see some more stuff.

I went here with a group of people from a social group I am in and really enjoyed it a lot! It's…read morethe grounds where the defunct Nortgern State Hospital was. We went by soke run down buildings, one that was more of a food preparation area and they once grew fruit trees there for the facility. The fruit trees can still be seen and at the time we were here were bearing fruit! We also went to some old barns where livestock was once kept for the hospital. Those buildings were very impressive and a bit creepy. To add to that someone in our group went over some of the experiments that went on here as well as possible mishaps that they pulled up online. That definitely added to the creepy vibe. But still it was a very pleasant stroll as we also was in a nice field and encountered a babbling brook. It was a great outing with great company! I'd love to explore the grounds even more as I have a feeling some of the buildings I didn't get to see.

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.
