This waterfront park was originally established in 1972 by a land donation by Wilbur and May Parkins. Additional land was acquired in 1990 to expand park boundaries. This undeveloped 5-plus acre site is located along the banks of the Skookumchuck River at the end of Meridian Avenue. Informal rustic improvements over the years are the result of the site’s popularity with the community. This site provides gravel beaches and water access to some of the more secluded stretches of the river.
Amenities located at park:
• Primitive parking
• Fishing/water access
• Primitive trails
• Picnic tables
• Benches
• Open play areas
Though in recent years the city has gated off the park and is not maintaining the park.
