This park was built in 1856 as an on-and-off U.S. Army site for a short time until a fire destroyed its barracks in 1895. Since then, it has returned to nature and is an excellent place for boating, crabbing, fishing and exploring the grounds. Six miles of trails run through the park amongst a lovely forest filled with Douglas-firs, cedars and western hemlock that rise above the understory of ferns. From the beach, there are beautiful views of the Port Townsend Bay. It is a quieter park than its northern neighbor, Fort Worden, and is an excellent spot for a run through the forest or along the sandy shoreline. Parking at this location does require a Discover Pass for vehicle access for day use.
