Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

In 1904, 6.5 acres of land on the bluff overlooking Admiralty Inlet was set aside for Port Townsend's first community park. Hundreds of volunteers cleared the forest and landscaped the slopes down to the shoreline. Chetzemoka Park honors Chief Chetzemoka of the S'Klallan tribe who welcomed the settlers when they arrived. The gardens now contain antique roses, heritage rhododendrons and a trellised walk. The bandstand is a popular venue for wedding photos. Picnic facilities, fire pits, barbecues and a kitchen attract day trippers who can relax and enjoy the sea and mountain views. Shakespeare in the Park is held on weekends, throughout August.
