Reviews
I was invited to attend a wedding at this location. I would say it was quite picturesque with the water and boats. Although there were people walking around, it wasn't loud. And the view on top of the Olympia port tower was quite entertaining with plenty of seating at the top

Beautiful waterfront to check out any time of the day. Sunset was stunning, saw a few seals and checked out the observation tower. Very clean and well kept.

Beautiful park with lush greens, cherry blossom (in spring) and blue water views. It's nice to watch a yacht across the water or a motorcyclist practicing how to drift on a roundabout, or birds chasing each other in the air. There's always something interesting to watch. I enjoyed my time here. There's a connecting park with a playground and there's a farmers market nearby with tons of vendors and food to chose from!

Waterfront Park with art sculptures and gardens with natural settings for gathering. Between the marina and logyard. Next to Anthony's. Quick walk from the farmers market

Visited Port Plaza for the 2025 Slurp oyster event and had an awesome time. The all-inclusive prices were fair for what we received, food was delicious, and everything was well set up. Will for sure do Slurp 2026, hopefully at the same spot.
