Susan: I dont use the inside of the park but I walk the ocean perimeter. Inside is picnicking and there are benches overlooking the ocean and a few tables at ocean level. Outside of park ocean parking. Great sunset opportunity. There is a flat land path (always seems to have 1 flooded spot so not terribly handicapped friendly but b4 that space plenty of room for wheelchairs. Semi sandy beach. (Changes yearly) tide does go way out for sand building.
GGus: Kelly welcomed us and really enjoyed telling us about the mission of the project and our docent Arthur were awesome, lots of passion for sharing the stories and history made it fun and engaging.
Gail Grace: Delightful place to walk especially when the tide is lower. When it is high, it can be difficult to negotiate log jams to get to the trail. I spent a beautiful afternoon here recently. The parking area is small, but so are the crowds. There are no facilities except a couple benches.
Krista Enneberg: We love Fort Nugent Park! Great fields, lots of space, well-kept, fun playgrounds, a walking trail, and covered areas. Concessions during football season and lots of parking. Definitely the best recreational park in north Whidbey.
Matt Johns: Incredible beach to view deception pass bridge, see the powerful tide currents and find agates. Short, 300 you walk from the car through some massive costal trees.
Bj Hedahl: Only found on map, no road-side sign or directions to this delightful, quiet and wide, well maintained trail system. Some very large trees and many species of native plants. One trail does go to the salt water and others are fairly flat. Parking is just the wide area at the road.
Elizabeth Martel: A beautiful place for a short walk or picnic, a lovely spot for some photos through the flower trail, a kids playground and a tire swing, all of this with a spectacular view or the mountains and passing boats. A proper washroom with handicap access as well.
Sharon Olson: We drove through Fort Worden park and down to the beach. All the historic buildings and bunkers are so interesting to see. The grounds are well maintained. Beautiful views all around.
Down at the beach, you will find free, well maintained restrooms. There is plenty of parking with several trails down to the beach.
I really loved it and want to return when I can spend more time at the beach.
There is a historic lighthouse and some charming building.
We saw lots of birds and even some deer grazing on the grass.
I could have spent more time here, but we were just passing through.
It was not very crowded on a June day when I visited.
Doug Hilo: We have visited Port Townsend several times over past 14 years and it steadily evolves, there are hard core boatyards that haul and repair boats, it has a cute old historic town worth several hours strolling, farmers markets, Deer wandering around and the ferries leaving for places across the sound. It is also the North Gateway to Olympic Peninsular which while a long drive to Westport is well worth it...Leave early.
