Highlights include a natural "Native Plants" trail, a butterfly house, beach access, picnic areas, Master Gardeners demonstration garden sponsored b Washington State University Extension. And there's great charm in visiting each little plotted area that children care for, growing veggies for a local food bank. It's easy to fall in love with the place and end up volunteering on sundry projects and events and care of the park.

Its great for a quick walk exercise, .7 miles per completed loop. It is "dogs welcome" though signage posted next to the rest-room building alerts that they must remain on a leash & to "pick up after your pet" both as required by city law, fines apply - just about everyone participates at least in the "controlled by a leash" part no matter the size and temperament of the pet at the moment! Don't know about the other. Information about the city off leash Bark Park at Pendergast is included on the sign (there is a off leash dog park in Silverdale too). Both are about 7 miles way from the park. Nice view of the Narrows, Mt Rainier & the Olympics to enjoy while there.

Beautiful colored skies, nice lighting, and no distractions whatsoever. Mother Nature was good to us that day. We definitely took our time with our shots and made the most of the evening. Other than that, the park is great for walk/jogs and just a nice peaceful area to be at with the waters right next to it. There is also a baseball field, tennis courts and a basketball court, but it was closed during the pandemic. They even unscrewed the basketball hoops off the courts. Just a great stress reliever at this park. :)

Besides the kids play area & large open field, there's also a huge garden to explore. I also do like the fact that there's a track circling the park for a nice nature walk / run. Bathrooms / water fountain available. As well as a covered area with tables. Limited parking though.

What's unique about this small little park is that it's a Community P-Patch Garden and Demonstration Garden. From my research I've found that it started in 2009 and has grown significantly over the last four years. The garden program is a partnership between WSU Extension Master Gardener Program and the City of Bremerton Parks & Recreation Department. The Land was known as White's Blueberry Farm, a commercial enterprise that harvested blueberry plants. I've heard that a small number of the original blueberry plants remain and can be found in the NW corner of today's Blueberry Park. This place seems like a great place for new gardeners just starting out, or for seasoned gardeners looking to share their knowledge with others. They even donate most of the produce to the Bremerton Food Line. It's worth a stop just to relax a bit and check out gardens that other folks have been working on.

I visited Silverdale Waterfront Park on a busy Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by…read morehow much parking was still available. If you arrive early, there's also street parking close to the gazebo, which looked like a popular spot for family gatherings and small get-togethers. I spent some time walking along the waterfront paths and exploring the docks and pier. If you're not a fan of heights or being over the water, parts of the dock might feel a little intimidating. The boards are older and somewhat uneven in places, but everything felt sturdy, safe, and added to the rustic charm of the park. The weathered wood and waterfront views make for a great aesthetic, especially if you enjoy photography. Another nice feature is the local businesses nearby. Whether you're looking to grab a beer, a coffee, or something to eat, everything is within a short walking distance. If you're visiting Silverdale and want a relaxing place to take photos, have a picnic, enjoy a family outing, or simply take a peaceful walk by the water, this park is definitely worth a stop. Be sure to check out the photos and videos we captured with our Fujifilm cameras they really showcase how beautiful this area can be.

Two stairways to make your way down to check out the crabs under the rocks and sometimes seals that come around. You can also watch people sail boating too. There is a gazebo to host events here.

The locale feels a poignant touch of history. All the friends and memories we pickleball players have made. All thanks to three dads one fateful summer afternoon. + There's a couple restrooms here and water fountain, but the restrooms are about a 3min walk away. + Plenty of parking. + Various friendly people to meet and play pickup with. I met both beginners and high-level players. Got a lot of fun and hilarious matches in. + There's shaded spectator seating, a rare thing I've noticed about pickleball parks. + I like the office toward the back with various amenities. There's a topspin trainer. And there's ice pops! Honor system. Leave cash for what you pick up.

We found…read moreHidden Cove Park but honestly questioned whether we were going the right way a number of times. Finally, we reached a small parking lot in a wooded, grassy area on a hill that overlooked the water. There was a stairway down to the water. The stairway has seen better days and given how slippery it was, a number of us decided to stay on the hill. Some of our group ventured down on the floating dock which was about as wobbly as the stairs. The dock was a nice setting for some beautiful pictures! This is a nice park for a picnic, to eat your lunch in the car, or to have a few minutes of peace to yourself.

And even if you want a little snack, there's CJ's Evergreen General Store & Catering. That's walking distance from the park. The store even sells peanuts for the squirrels. If you come here a lot, you know the squirrels are super friendly and they love a good bite to eat. It's one of my favorite parks to go to with my family. Helpful tip: If you are parking in the boat parking area. Please don't park in the middle. They will ticket you. The middle is for people that have boats. The ticket guy will come by and give you a ticket. I've seen it happen plenty of times. There's not a big sign that say it but there is a sign on the far left.
