Hamlin Park is a popular recreation area for local residents and there is a network of hiking/walking trails to explore, one of which (Main Trail) is gently sloping and suitable for wheelchairs and buggies. The trails are suitable for children and dogs and you should be on the lookout for birds and other wildlife. There are parking lots and restrooms close to the park.

Miller Garden

The beautiful Miller Botanical Garden was established around the Miller homestead (on 5 acres of land overlooking Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula) in the late 1940’s. The original garden was greatly inspired by wonderful oriental gardens in China and Japan, while indigenous local trees and shrubs provided the back-bone of the garden. The landscaped gardens benefited from the addition of native stone, tree stumps and logs and from Mrs. Miller’s fascination for cultivating exotic plants from all corners of the globe. Sadly, the superb garden is not normally open to the public and you will need to book well in advance to join one of their guided tours.
