Parks and Recreation

The City of Waldport is situated on the Pacific Ocean, and borders the beautiful Alsea Bay.

There are miles of sandy beach available for exploration nearby, as well as several small City parks.

The largest beach park is Patterson State Park, at the South end of 101 in town. This park has restrooms, and a pathway down to miles of amazing ocean beaches. 

In the heart of town is located the large openspace - once Waldport's High School. This has been renamed the Southworth Park, after Louis Southworth. Two sports fields, a large playground, a basketball court, and a large covered and uncovered eating pavilion are planned, as well as a wonderful bronze statue of Mr. Southworth. 

Others include Meridian Park, at the intersection of Spring Street and Highway 34; Veteran's Park at the intersection of Broadway and Highway 34; Crestline Park (which features a trail, skate park and children's play area), near the intersection of Range Drive and Crestline Drive; and Keady Wayside, near the intersection of Maple Street and Highway 101.

The City received a grant to create the Woodland Trail which provides a link between the south end of Crestline Park (off of Crestline Drive) and Kendall Ballfield on Starr Street. There are many groups and individuals who hike this beautiful trail on a regular basis.

The City also maintains two public restrooms, one at Crestline Park and another on Highway 101 at the south end of town, across from Keady Wayside.
