Grassy Alternatives

Boulevard Park construction continues to take up most of the park's open green space.


The work to replace the failing sewer pumps at Boulevard Park continues to take up the park's open grass area. The fenced off portion of Boulevard Park is covered in machinery and mounds of tarp-covered soil. With Boulevard's largest open area fenced off, there is little space left for children and families to play games or run around.

Fortunately, there are several nearby parks that offer plenty of open space for Frisbee or soccer games. Forest & Cedar Park is only a few blocks away from Boulevard Park. Forest & Cedar offers a playground, picnic tables and restrooms and is a close alternative for an open place to play.

Fairhaven Park is a short drive away and offers rentable picnic shelters, a community building and trails along with its grassy fields. This large park is known for hosting summer events. Little Squalicum Park, though farther away, is another alternative for views of Bellingham Bay and waterfront access while views at Boulevard Park are limited.
