Pricing Snapshot
Bloedel Donovan Park Playground reopened in 2025 as the City of Bellingham's newest and most accessible playground. Official project materials describe separate tot and school-age areas, adjacent paved access, ramp-accessible elevated features, transfer access, and a swing set with an accessible seat. Because it sits inside a larger lakefront park with restrooms, picnic tables, trails, and parking, it works well for both a focused playground stop and a longer family outing.
