Features
The popular Eastsound Waterfront Park preserves views of the water from the village and allows public access to the shoreline and nearby publicly-owned Indian Island. Located on the main entrance road to Eastsound Village, the Conservation Land Bank’s first acquisition in 1993 added .45 acres and 100 feet of shoreline to the existing county park. In 2003, the Land Bank acquired an adjacent one-acre parcel and 356 feet of waterfront. An additional .45 acre property abutting the eastern boundary of the park was acquired later to further expand the size of the park and increase water frontage by another 100 feet. Ownership and management of the 2.5 acre park is shared by the Land Bank and San Juan County Parks. A grant from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources and private contributions helped purchase a portion of the park.
