4 /5 Emily Wyss | Dwellingham: Waypoint Park is a relatively new addition to the downtown Bellingham core but for a small park it has had a big positive impact on the community! Easy access to the water makes it a great place for launching kayaks and paddle boarding. There are green spaces to lounge by the water, and a play area for kiddos. Check out the shops and good-eats available in the renovated Granary building, and the can’t-miss iconic Acid Ball sculpture. There’s also lots of parking available. The pump track is right across the street for those who enjoy bike sports, and the Trackside (all ages) Beer Garden is conveniently nearby to stop for a drink or grab a delicious bite!
Con: As a newer park there is very little shade available, in the midst of summer this park may be a bit much for sun/heat sensitive folx.
