Beautiful and serene beach. Went during thanksgiving weekend and there were hardly 3 folks. The loop is excellent.

Beautiful park with great views of the San Juan islands and surrounding mountains. there is a loop trail that you can either drive, bike, or walk around with many places to stop and enjoy the views. There are multiple beaches to hang out at and none of them were overly crowded.There are both reservation-only and first come campsites available for both their utility and non-utility sites. There are multiple showers and bathrooms available for campers. The campsites are constantly monitored by Park staff who are very friendly. The park staff will drop off firewood to your campsite for $5 a bundle.This is a great Park to visit if you find yourself in Anacortes Washington!

This is a beautiful park at the west of Anacortes. The bathrooms near the entry to the loop road are clean and easily accessible. The pull off spots tend to fill up mid day. Bring a cold picnic, no grills on the loop trail. Theres a great Vista halfway, and loads of walking trails.

Loved this place! The scenic loop was amazing. The views from the hikes epic. A must visit.

Beautiful!!! Its worth the drive.

What a great walk with my sweetie and the two white dogs.If youre not gonna stay on the pave way make sure you wear proper shirt shoes for scrambling,Pretty muddy in spots slippery on the rocks so watch your footing.This place is so cool, it had all kinds of trails amazing spots to just stop and take it all in, just a beautiful place.The dogs love it, but please pick up poop.

Washington Park is a nice park to visit.Nice walking trails.Nice views.Good picnic tables.

We walked here from our hotel. The boat dock was very busy but we started walking along the loop drive. A little way along there were some trails down to the water. WE took one and found a rocky beach with lots of driftwood and downed trees. They were the perfect backdrop for pictures. My husband came down and picked us up in the car and we continued around the loop drive.There were many areas along the way to pull off in the car with many photo ops. There was even a bridal party showing up for a photo shoot. There is a campground located in the park too. It is worth the time to drive to all the way around and experience the very different views on each side of the park.

A great place of tranquility. If you have the time, this is the place to stop. We even got to see a bald eagle and multiple dolphins.

Wonderful drive through the park. Have to drive very slow as its narrow and theres people walking along the road. Very nice pull outs for vehicles. Gorgeous views of the water all along.

This scenic beauty at the end of the loop drive is a sight to behold....the sweeping view of the water, hills, trees are gorgeous. This is a very popular place for picnics or short walk. A must to include in the sightseeing adventure when in this area. No access fee required and parking is free.

Very beautiful place! Be careful though, roads are narrow and theres no shoulder for hikers.

Great park. Love to drive the loop and stop at different spots to take in different views! Beautiful! Look for the PNW famous Leaning Tree!

This is a great destination, it has the most gorgeous views of the San Juan Islands! It is a large city park with ample parking, boat and beach access, hiking trails, and picnic spots everywhere. We spent a lovely afternoon there. My favorite part was walking the loop road-- its wonderful but be careful-- it has a narrow shoulder for walking.

We went there with hopes of camping, but turned right around when we saw that there is almost zero privacy at these campsites. Hardly any vegetation even separates these campsites, which is really unfortunate, because it is such a beautiful area. How disappointing. Wish someone else had discussed the lack of privacy so that we would have known.

Large park overlooking the San Juan islands. Campgrounds, beaches, hiking trails. A wonderful place to spend the day.

This park is beautiful! And well maintained.Peaceful vibes. Depending on the day theres tidepools, lots of wild life, great views, clean picnic area, benches to rest, boat launch. Party gazebo, playground for small children. In a separate side of park still overlooking the water. Pets are welcome too!

A holy place, full of vibrant beauty and deep lessons. This park is worthy of deep and well funded stewardship for the generations to come. Walk the loop and try and get off the road, while staying on the trail. Linger and listen to the tides moving in and out. The view of Burrows Island is like the magic of seeing Avalon

This is such a gorgeous park. The loop is an absolute pleasure to drive around. Plenty of places to stop and take in some great views and so much greenery around the entire way. A perfect place to stop on your way to deception pass or to Whidbey.

*AMAZING PARK* park gets a lot of use, but the hiking trails arent very poulated*really gorgeous views following the perimeter trail of the park*the west end lets you park and watch the sun go down either in your vehicle, or out on the grassy meadow beyond.

I hiked on the trail alongside the water to Sunset Beach and took the Washington Loop Road, which goes pretty far. Being near the waves and then surrounded by massive trees felt so magical. Googles description is very informative: This 220-acre city park offers camping, a boat launch, day-use picnic sites & a scenic loop road.

The scenery is simply goregous and the water is so calm on the beach shore. The differences in the scenery are amazing as well!Differences being sheer rock shores to pebble beaches to jetty rock beds!Goregous for nature photos! Seals seem to like it here!

Great place to just relax. Plenty of tables, parking, a boat launch right next to it, snacking scenic loop to drive/walk with pull out spots to take things in and maybe check out the tide poolsif the tide is out. Couple of port-o-potties (bring TP). Great big area for games, playground, and a nice beach area. Only draw back is it can get crowded quickly.

Well worth the 7 hour drive. Gorgeous view

It was nature haven, the parking spots in between trees were quite exciting and the place had a charm of its own...great views as well.

Beautiful views !! Huge place! You can go down to the beach and up higher to enjoy views! It is so amazing and beautiful with lots to do!

Washington Park is one of my favorite places to go when I just want to be out in the elements and catch a beautiful sunset. The loop is a great walk and has many stops along the way and places to get down to other parts of the beach for even more magnificent views.

A beautiful walk even in the rain. Convenient location and plenty of parking. I go back as often as I can. Icecream at madhatters after!

Great park. Picnic shelters, play sets for kids. Boat launch, camping. Paved road that is also s walking trail. Numerous trails leading to viewer points. From low bank water to elevated views of the San Juan islands. Well worth your time!

Something for everyone! From forest to sandy beach, campground to boat launch, theres lots to see and do in this amazing park.

Beautiful views. Nice camp. First rate.

Love this park. It is so pretty and clean

Some of the best views you can find of the San Juan Islands and the sound. Its a beautiful park with a loop that you can walk and drive around.

Great hike from Skyline to Washington park. Nice little beach and playground.

Even shrouded in fog this place is amazing. Fog lifted and it was stunning!!

Lovely view and great weather great place for a BBQ too!

Gorgeous, thats the best word to describe it. Its accessible to everyone because of the driving loop that reaches all the way to the top lookout.

Sunsets here are absolutely amazing

Went on a beautiful but FREEZING cold day. Place was busy but not crowded. Huge park with lots of awesome trails, cliffside and beautiful views

It was a beautiful afternoon at the water! We hiked as far as we could, lots of trails with places to stop and rest or take on the sights.

Stunning views with plenty of tables to have lunch or snack break.

One one the best parks you can visit in Washington. With a boat launch, camping, trails, beachside firepits, and great views it offers a great weekend escape.

Very nice park. More than meets the eye, initially. Could use some updates on benches. But overall, a beautiful place to spend a nice day.

Wonderful place. The loop is about two miles and is marked every 1/8 mile. Many walk it... you will see families, moms pushing stollers, couples on a romantic walk, etc

Nice campground near water . With washrooms and showers. Beautiful views and sunsets over the islands

This is a must see for anyone visiting Anacortes. The park is perched on a point and there are spectacular views from almost anywhere you stop. You can camp here too, which I have not yet, but the camp ground itself looks private and inviting. There is a single lane road around the whole park with pull offs to stop and enjoy a picnic with the family. I never miss an opportunity to stop at Washington Park when I am in the vicinity.

Great place for camping. But it gets a little cold at night.

This is the perfect day place. Theres trails, beaches, views, solitude, and open space. Camping, boat launch, and picnic areas too make it great for the weekend.

Beautiful area. We drove through the camping areas, and then we made a campfire in one of the concrete fire pits by the beach.

Beautiful beach park. Sandy beach, boat launch, picnic tables, plenty parking, family atmosphere, camping ground right next to the park

Offers a beach area, boat landing, camping, trails, a paved 2.2 mile scenic route, day parking. Literally everything you could want from a small park with some of the best views in Anacortes.

One of my favorite parks Ive been to in Washington. There is a cement walking path that is about 2-1/2 miles long. You can walk it or drive it. The view is pretty amazing at the top. Perfect for an easy day trip with lots to do.

Great place but I wish they would keep the launch ramp free of gravel.

An excellent park for hiking, driving, taking pictures, boating, and everything in-between. There is a boat launch, as well as a drivable one way road.

This is an outstanding park! The scenery is so beautiful and there are many places to stop and take it all in.

This is a gem of a city park on the outskirts of Anacortes. The spring is my favorite time to visit, lots of wildflowers. There are some nice hiking trails off the 2 mile loop road.

Wonderful place just outside of town

Beautiful park with lots of trails and paths. The loop around is a must drive or walk.

A beautiful beautiful Park! We camp there thinking we would stay a couple of nights and ended up staying the entire week... No need to go elsewhere

Gorgeous scenery, great for hiking, walking and running.

A beautiful park with lots of hiking, and a great place to observe marine mammals like harbor porpoises, harbor seals and sometimes even a sea lion!

The views of the ocean and sea life and the beautiful sunsets are to die for.

This “trail” is basically just a road where cars come up on you constantly. It has GORGEOUS views and a really nice campground...but don’t go here to just take a walk.

Great place to visit especially if you have time to kill before taking a ferry.

Beautiful park with bluff and trails... Anacortes Point Defiance Park.

Beautiful park.

Pretty accessible, with a one-way road circumnavigating the scenic area and parking by the picnic areas, but there are only port-a-potties for bathrooms for the moment, and the walking trails are overgrown enough not to be scenic even when they should be.

This a great camp ground. Very clean and maintained. There is always camp personnel riding through looking after the Park. Trash is picked up daily and other campers are friendly. Camp sites can be close if you are wanting to be near another group or further away if you want to be left alone. Large enough buffer zones between camps if needed. Beach access is near by.

Beautiful place with great sunsets. Walking trails evey where.

Gorgeous park! Relaxing and serene and free!

Absolutely amazing views!!! great place for scale crawling!

So gorgeous! My dogs and I had an amazing time at Washington Park. We saw porpoises and seals and it was magical. There are restrooms which are cleaner than many Ive experienced in public parks. The walking trails are so lovely Id definitely recommend this park.

Beautiful views, boat launch with small dock, BBQ pits and seating.

For a smaller island style park, this place is awesome. It has about everything you could ask for or could expect in something like this. It has a campground, a paved trail, wooded paths, ocean front views, benches placed strategically throughout, restrooms and a wide variety of trees. The paved path is 2.1 miles and is always open to walk and through the day it is open to motorists. There are many small marked paths that lead through the woods that hold so many beautiful scenes.

Great place. Easy to locate. Easy to navigate. A great place to go for any occasion, and in any weather. With breathtaking views, accommodating loop road, and many options to pull over and get out, this is a great car person park. Remember to respect our natural treasures and dont litter. Pack it in, pack it out.

Nice place to visit. Awesome short trails.

Washington Park. AnacortesA truly Magnificent City park. Labor day picture 2018

Drive, walk or bike through, spending an hour of a day, this mini Stanley Park is simply a marvelous place to visit. Theres a sandy beach, rocky beach, grand vistas, trails through the woods, friendly deer and other wildlife, geologic wonders (you can walk on the Earths mantle...the part usually covered by miles of crust!), AND theres camping! Just doesnt get much better.

Cute lil crabs everywhere, just move a rock and they scurry. Saw an eagle fly down and pull something out of the water. Exploring Marthas Beach was a great way to start our trip in La Conner.

Lovely small grassy park on the water with nice trails. Perfect for some family time and a picnic lunch! If you have a watercraft, bring your boating etiquette please!

Absolutely favorite Park in Washington State, Ive been coming here for 44 years and its just like I remember as a small child. Lots of memories made in this beautiful place.

Our go to park for quite walks in the forest. Several loops to accommodate various trail lengths. Plenty of parking as well.

One of the best things about living in Anacortes is WA Park... great camping here, boat launch, beaches, playground space, picnic areas. Drive or walk the infamous loop road. Lots of deer and coyote so keep your dog on a leash here. Bathrooms with showers. The views are terrific here, not to be missed if visiting for the day.

You can take the length of walk or hike you want depending if you take the loop road twice or use the trails around the parks. There are wildflowers now, so stop and take photos.

Very nice park with sweeping views of the sound, Burrows Bay and surrounding islands. Boat launch, beach, hiking, picnicking, and camping.

The best park in the state. Thats just my opinion of course, but Im going to suggest you take it as fact. Because, well, really...this is the best park in our state.

COLD coin-operated showers... the park & camping is lovely, however - I called about showers. yes showers, but they failed to mention coin- operated showers (2 quarters for 2.5 minutes). started cold, got warm for about 30 seconds & continued COLD!

The loop drive is quite lovely.

Beautiful place with panoramic view. Would like to come back soon.

Love this place definitely coming back

Nice park. Talkative birds.lol

Best views in town

Absolutely breathtaking!

This is a really nice park. There is lots of beach front to explore as well as wooded area with many hiking trails. There is also a great playground, a boat launch, and much more.

Nice shades spot for our RV. Best to reserve a spot, but they do have open spots available. Bathrooms are decent & have HOT showers. Staff is friendly & ready to assist.

Always used to like to stop in for a shower after my bi weekly cross state trip before catching the ferry but between vandals and park workers the showers are a joke, a cold or not working joke that ive wasted alot of money on.... boo

Beautiful place to relax and have a picnic. Very lovely views.

Nice drive around the park. It has outhouses, camping spots, and an RV area to refill your water tank. The boat launch is good as well. Nice beach area to look at the different islands. People love to walk around the road, it is a loop.

Very wooded for so close to town. Makes you feel like your million miles away from town. Most camping sites are tight for anything over 29 feet. Great place to hike. Clean bath house. Only gripes would be kids running through camp site, dogs off leash and owners not picking up dog poop.

Great views on the loop road!! Wish it wasnt smokey so I could have taken better pictures.
