Confirmed from Zuanich Point Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Harborside park with picnic tables, a playground, paved paths & a bay-view rental facility.
What runners say about Zuanich Point Park
“Beautiful park, great place to fly a kite, has a waterfront walk, sailing vibes, a small but well kept playground, few picnic tables and a washroom.”
“The park itself isn't beautiful, no shade trees, etc, but it's a great place to watch the sunset, peruse the boats moored at the harbor, or fly your kite!”
“The scenic harbor trail offers stunning views of the lake, making it perfect for a peaceful stroll.”
Our first visit to Billingham exceeded expectations, and it’s definitely a destination worth exploring. We arrived early, finding ample parking. The park is nestled in the heart of the boating and fishing community, surrounded by historic architecture.
While not the most beautiful of Bellingham's parks, Zuanich Point is a lovely spot for a picnic or a good walk. The marina is a nice change for those who spend most of our time with trees and lakes. The outdoor exercise equipment, while sparse, is a very nice addition.
Best waterfront park in Bellingham. Come here on a sunny day and bring a blanket and lounge. There’s a nice walking loop along the water that is spectacularly beautiful. If you’re looking to fly kites on a windy day, this is the place to come. Just don’t expect to be the only one.
I've been coming to this park my whole life. Even my kid had his wedding at this park almost a decade ago. There are some amazing views of the bellwether hotel and the marina with lots of amazing boats very nice protected barge area where all the boats are. This would be an amazing place to Mooring your boat.
