Boxcar Park

Scenic Waterfront Escape

Nestled along Everett's picturesque shoreline, Boxcar Park offers a charming 2-acre green space where you can breathe in that fresh Puget Sound air. As part of the Waterfront Place Central development, this public park represents an excellent vantage point to watch boats glide through the marina while you spread out on the expansive lawn.

The generous grassy area has become something of a community living room - a place where locals gather for everything from quiet afternoon picnics to lively community festivities.

What You'll Find

When the weather cooperates, you can claim one of the two distinctive kite-style shelters complete with picnic tables - well-suited for a casual outdoor meal. If you're just looking to relax, the waterfront-facing benches offer a peaceful spot to sit back and take in the maritime scene.

The park's crown jewel is undoubtedly the historic Weyerhaeuser Building. This architectural time capsule was carefully relocated here in 2016 and holds a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. The Port of Everett has plans to transform this treasured landmark into a community space in the coming years - another reason to keep returning to this waterfront park.

Seasonal Highlights

Boxcar Park really comes alive during spring and summer with a calendar full of community gatherings. From outdoor movie screenings under the stars to waterfront concerts with harbor backdrops and classic car shows, there's often something happening to enhance your visit.

The open layout makes this spot ideal for tossing a frisbee, enjoying a leisurely stroll, or simply lounging on the grass with a good book. Just a heads-up: kite flying isn't allowed due to nearby power lines - safety first!
