Families visiting Friday Harbor will find this sunken park a nice little resource. It makes a great spot for the kids to explore and hang out while the adults get their shopping, dining, and browsing done around town. It’s located right above the Friday Harbor ferry landing on the corner of Harris & B.

If you are visiting Friday Harbor with your family and are looking for some family friendly accommodation near this park then I’m happy to recommend the Tucker House Bed and Breakfast. This family-friendly bed and breakfast is right across the street from Sunken Park. Its proximity to the park, and the rest of down town Friday Harbor including the ferry landing make it an easy choice for your family visit to Friday Harbor.

To get down into the basketball court you can go down one of two stairways or the handicap accessible ramp.

Sunken Park is well maintained and so is the basketball court. Picnic tables and benches make it a favorite spot for having a snack and or lunch. See our list of other great spots to picnic in the islands.

From the lower area of the park you can take the ramp up to the upper area. There is a children’s play area plus a gazebo and more picnic tables and even a couple BBQs. Just bring along the charcoal, lighter fluid, and your burgers and you are good to go.

The drinking fountains put out cool and fresh water. Check out that water pressure!

Here is a photo of the upper barbecue and picnic table area.

If you follow the stairway up out of the park towards the ferry landing you will encounter a coffee shop , Kent Meeker’s real estate office, & a gift shop/general store.  This building also contains multiple vacation rentals with great views of the harbor and park.  Contact San Juan Property Management to rent one for your next family visit to San Juan Island.
