Big Rock Garden Park

This beautiful small hidden treasure of a park has over 20 unique sculptures scattered throughout small well kept paths amongst gardens with ferns and local shrubs, plants and trees. It's a quiet little oasis within a sleepy neighborhood. There is even a really nice bathroom complete with a heater to keep you warm. There is a small parking lot just up the narrow driveway at the top of the hill. The kids (11 and 5) enjoyed wondering the paths to find each of the sculptures. Each of the sculptures had plaques with the title and artist on it. Many of the sculptures had beautiful and touching names to their pieces. We spent about an hour there including eating our picnic lunch there (there are no picnic benches, but there was a small wooden platform that jetted off what looked like an old small information center at the gate entrance that we sat and ate. There was a trash can at the entrance). Overall a wonderful quiet sanctuary.

Big Rock Garden Park is a hidden gem in the outskirts of Bellingham. It has a multitude of sculptures tucked in a beautiful wooded landscape. The sculptures range from modern to traditional, and they are all worth viewing. It took about an hour to see everything. Definitely worth a visit.

I’m not really that into sculpture, so I don’t know quite how to comment on the sculpture that’s in here. But the setting for the sculpture is fantastic and honestly, they’re pretty interesting to look at. What’s really notable though are the restrooms. These rank a perfect 10 out of 10 on the Pendergast Poopability Scale. They’re so good I’d go out of my way to poop here.

Wonderful sculptures everywhere in the peaceful park. I love the sunlight shining through maple leaves. This is a place of quiet, peace and beauty.

Went during a warm winter Monday. The fenced park had a lot of trees, which provided shade and, therefore, was a little chilly. There were also no people around, which made it a very serene place. The sculptures littered around may be more directed to adults than children, though. The park itself is small but has various intermingled trails throughout.
