Burfoot Park

This is a city park close to Boston Harbor with a large open field dotted with trees, picnic tables, restrooms, and well-maintained trails through the surrounding wooded area.  There is also access via steps to a beach.  NOTE: Special Considerations below.  

Although it is within the city limits, it is far enough out of Olympia center to be a lovely place to experience nature.  The trails here boast rhododendrons in the spring and Western Washington's signature lush greenery all year round. 

Special Considerations:  Although there is beach access, we will not do so, if there are participants for whom steps are challenging.  

Additional options: Extend the day by going down the road to Boston Harbor Marina where you can  rent kayaks or grab food and drink and/or hang out on the dock.
