If you’re not busy Saturday afternoon, have I got an offer for you. Have you ever hiked the 16 acres of trails in the Eastpark Nature Area? It includes a rare grove of Madrona trees (see above) in pathways that bridge Harrison Medical Center and the new Eastpark neighborhood.
We’ll talk about this magnificent conifers and walk this
relatively unknown East Bremerton trail network.
Here’s the details:
What: Reporter Josh Farley leads a 30-minute hike through the Madrona grove and woods of the Eastpark Nature Area.
When: 1 p.m. Saturday
Where to meet: Parking lot near the Manette Mart, 2044 Lower Wheaton Way.
Note: Wear hiking attire and be prepared for a mile (or two) of hiking.
Background: The city’s parks commission has recommended the Eastpark Nature Reserve be renamed to to be the “Madrona Trails.” Signs will be added to its entrances at Lower Wheaton Way and on Nathan Adrian Drive near the Bremerton Family YMCA. The hope is to attract more attention to the park.
Hope to see you Saturday for this free talk and tour!
