The small park is close to city. One of the my favorite to take photo of Mount Hood and a sunset walk - when the sky is clear and calm, close to sunset time. It is very enjoyable to walk on the paved road; going east to the cove is the best spot, Mt Hood face to face with highway 205 bridge beneath it.

Small cramped park, few amenities. Really need to maintain the area. Drawback also is that its right next to a railway. Those trains go through 14+ times a day. So every 25-35 minutes, theres a train horn as you know trains are required to sound everytime they cross one.Bathrooms are closed due to homeless population in the area. Frankly,, this park would be suitable for a small 25K population town. Not for Vancouver.

I would like to see my tax dollars being used better. Trash needs to be picked up regularly in addition to people being accountable for their own garbage and taking it with them and the bathrooms need to be kept up and cleaned and disinfected regularly. Other than that it’s a beautiful place.

Great place for beach access of the Columbia River, and views of the Portland Oregon (PDX) airport as well as the boats. You can find seashells and play in the sand without going to the coast. Restrooms are available, but not the greatest. Walking trails are a great way to explore as well.

Very nice park close to city. Limited parking, and narrow road to get there, but small and sweet.

Good place for a picnic. Looks secluded at first but theres always people walking on the beach or around the area. Most of them dont bother you so its fine.

Usually clean, but I would stay away from the bathrooms. There is a great view here! There is also a walking trail but be mindful that it isnt just a straight flat path.

Nice place to access the Columbia River just across the river from PDX. Connects to greenway/bike path and, with a little creativity, you can ride or walk to Vancouver from here.

Beautiful and serene. This park not only has a clean and spacious beach, but also has several walking/biking trails nearby and spectacular views of Mt. Hood! Great place to come with friends, family, or just to have a quiet moment with your feet in the sand (or water).

Great spot for the summertime for some rays on the beach. Not a lot of parking but its a nice intimate park. Right now bathrooms are closed until march. There is handicapped parking. No playground but still great for the kids. If you happen to come across any of the somewhat rich people acting rude or snooty just give them the finger and remind them your a person too. Beautiful park.

Nice little beach spot with very easy access from the highway. We came during Nov at sunset so there wasn’t many people. I imagine it would get quite busy during summer. Good sand for play, bathrooms nearby, moderately-sized parking lot. Great spot to kill a couple hours near water. Fun to watch planes takeoff/land from PDX.

I walked from Marine Park along the Waterfront Renaissance Trail to Wintler Community Park and back. This brought me through a wetland area and along the Columbia River for some great views of both of these areas. This is where the 5 mile Renaissance trail ends. The trail connects Wintler Community Park, Marine Park, and Esther Short Park by a paved path. Marine Park has a boat landing that has the Henry Kaiser Shipyard Memorial next to it. There is a parking fee at the boat landing area. $5 per car. So you might like to just park at the Marine Park parking lot and just walk to the boat landing. its not all that long of a walk. Wintler Community park is a 12.5 acre beach park and is the only city park with public water access. The park has benches and tables, restrooms, walking paths, and beach access. The is a parking area should you wish to drive into the park instead of walking to it like I did.

Perfect beach day without driving all the way to the beach! Weekends and evenings can be crowded but midweek in the middle of the day is perfect if you prefer less crowds.

Beautiful day for a walk in the park. So grateful this is basically my back yard.

Ju
Review №65

Its definitely a nice spot but calling it a community park is deceiving when you charge $5 to park there in summer. Cutting off access to people with limited funds is less than community minded. Everyone should be able to come here to take a load off regardless of income.

I really like this place to have fun in the sun with family and friends enjoy the Columbia river and the beach front barbaque or just have some freddys fried chicken and potato salad.Their is a nice bike path that follows the river back to the west end of vancouver. Also their is bathrooms for that important need to go relive yourself. Just be kind..

Ive been going to wintler park for a good fifteen years and its a wonderful place to relax it doesnt have a huge parking lot which kind of sucks but its free and its right on the river so if you go during the summer be sure to show up early because the shore fills up fast. And when you go make sure to bring a lunch because if you believe you wont have your parking spot when you come back

We love this place. Quaint little secluded park right on the north shore of the Columbia. We go here frequently for picnic style lunches. I recommend this place frequently to friends and family, or anyone for that matter, that are looking for a nice place to relax and enjoy the water and some greenery.
