The crown jewel of downtown Poulsbo, Muriel Iverson Williams Waterfront Park stretches along the shores of Liberty Bay at the heart of the city. This beautifully maintained park is the backdrop for some of Poulsbo’s most beloved annual events — including Viking Fest, the Lighted Ships Parade, and the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony — and a daily gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. Stroll the waterfront boardwalk, watch seals and herons from the shoreline, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or simply take in the sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains across the water. Free to visit, open year-round, with public restrooms on site.

Pavilion Rentals: The covered waterfront pavilion is available for weddings, private events, and gatherings of all kinds — and it’s one of the most scenic event spaces on the Kitsap Peninsula. To check availability and reserve the pavilion, visit the Poulsbo Parks & Recreation page or contact the City of Poulsbo directly.
