It was a Wednesday morning and parking was abundant. Signs were speckled throughout the parking lot marking the Ebey Waterfront Trail and where to find it. Exploring around the parking lot, there was a playground and a few short docks out over the water along a muddy boat launch area. Venturing out on the Ebey Waterfront Trail, I found a variety of small birds foraging in the vegetation along the trail as well as a great blue heron wading in the water and occasionally plunging its head into the water to catch a fish. A spattering of wildflowers were also in bloom along the trail. The walking path itself was flat, paved, and yielded infrequent shade. Returning to my car, a few great blue herons flew off along the river.

There are several side trails that will give a walker options to vary your routine.

The trails can be narrow with growth of different plants and trees. It would be nice to see some clearing so that we can see the pond better. Without all being said it's a bit of a magical place because of all the native trees and plants abounding. If it was better kept up I would give it a five-star review.

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.

One side you get views of the ocean and the other side is solely Forrest views. Both are beautiful and a sight to see.

The trails were narrow and a bit muddy, but in good condition overall. The ridge section was okay, but we really enjoyed the scenery as we dropped into Fern Gulley...every shade of green, very pretty. The ancient cedar was a beautiful sight. Great views of the mountains and water from the short Discovery trail. And I always enjoy wandering through campgrounds being reclaimed by Mother Nature.

It was a gorgeous day, it wasn't too crowded, just a few families with their surf boards, kites, picnic packs, etc. Downside...there was a warning not to touch the water or wet sand that was under the little bridge because it was full of bacteria, etc. That was a big turn off!!! The beach consisted of mostly drift wood...which was kind of cool, and you could see where people had made a fort out of it. It wasn't a huge beach as far as sand, maybe when the ride goes out? It wasn't the greatest beach ever...wasn't the worst...DEFINITELY 100% better than Possession Beach that we tried. We were able to get out and sit in the sand for a bit.
