Clearmeadows Park

Park Overview

Found in the Fisher's Landing East neighborhood of Vancouver, Washington, Clearmeadows Park spans a modest 5.7 acres but packs in plenty of charm. This little lush corner is the backyard extension many nearby residents love, with a thoughtful mix of amenities that cater to different interests. The well-kept grounds are divided into distinct areas, making it easy to find your own perfect spot to unwind.

Green Spaces

The park's open lawn areas are great for spreading out a blanket or tossing a frisbee. A gentle walking path loops through the grounds for about a quarter-mile - excellent for a casual stroll or getting in those steps while enjoying some greenery. From the entrance, it's just a quick 0.1-mile walk before you're fully immersed in park life.

The heritage trees scattered throughout aren't just beautiful - they're lifesavers during hot summer days, casting cool shadows where you can escape the sun. The landscape has some character too, with small rolling hills and flat stretches that make wandering around more interesting than your average park.

Play Area

Kids will make a beeline for the playground area with its relatively new equipment. The structures are mostly geared toward younger children, with different sections offering various ways to climb, slide, and explore.

Note that there isn't much shade near the play equipment for adults keeping an eye on the little ones. Also worth mentioning - bees tend to make themselves at home here during summer months, so keep this in mind if you or your children have allergies or fears.

Sports Facilities

The recently updated basketball court is a highlight for anyone looking to shoot some hoops. With its fresh surface, it's a great spot for a quick pickup game or practicing your jump shot.

Visitor Information

Here's the tricky part - parking is seriously limited with only 2-3 spots available along the roadside. This isn't usually a problem for neighbors who can walk over, but you might need to plan accordingly if you're coming from further away.

You should also know there are no public restrooms here. The park was primarily designed with the immediate neighbors in mind, so if you're bringing small children or planning an extended visit, you'll want to prepare for this absence of facilities.

Community Atmosphere

What really makes Clearmeadows special is its friendly neighborhood vibe. Surrounded by homes and frequently visited by locals of all ages, it has that comfortable, community feel that's hard to manufacture. Even at its busiest, the park rarely feels crowded - offering a peaceful retreat when you need a dose of nature and tranquility in your day.
