Review & FAQ:

Located in the heart of the city, on the Budd Bay on the tip of Puget Sound, Percival Landing Park is Olympia’s most popular waterfront park. It stretches over 3.38 acres of space and includes a playground, boat moorage, picnic areas, giant carved Orca, and a 0.9-mile boardwalk.

The park opened its doors in 1978 at the site of the historic old commercial steamship wharf, a well-known West Coast maritime landmark. There is always something going on in the park, and some of the most popular annual events are Sand in the City, Harbor Days, and Wooden Boat Festival.
