Lee and Karen Duquette,
The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
and Ilse Blahak stopped at
Chetzemoka Park in
Port Townsend, Washington
June 26, 2015

Chetzemoka Park is a ten acre park located along Jackson Street between Garfield and Roosevelt Streets in Port Townsend, Washington. The park is known by locals as the crown jewel of the city due in part by its views of the Cascade Mountain range and Admiralty Inlet. The park is highly developed with lots of scenery and greenery. Flower gardens and trees make this park a popular setting for wedding and special events.

The park was dedicated in 1904 to the Klallam Tribal Indian Chief. The chief was recognized by many historians to be a comrade to the early settlers and helped to resolve the 1868 Dungeness Massacre. With a lot of history, it is no wonder that this park has been a popular site for decades.

The park is known for its scenery and provides walking trails and winding paths along the wooded cliff. The trail reveals amazing views of Whidbey Island. Shadier settings can be found along the rose garden area. The children's playground above the creek offers a family environment for kids to play while their parents sit on the benches and read. The playground offers playground equipment and swings for children to explore.

This was a small, but really nice park. It had a lots of fun things for children, plus some pretty flowers, and nice picnic tables.
