"If you don't have super high expectations and don't take anyone here, who does...This is actually a super great park.

It has one of the most amazing views around the whole Puget Sound, as far as parks go. Especially considering the easy access, practically right off Mukilteo speedway and parking is steps away from a beautiful sprawling grass field.

There's a good deal of open space and then a nice area of shady grass, spotted with tall evergreens!

This last visit during the past week proved to be the most rewarding visit for us to any park (With the intention of flying a kite ) basically ever... I was able to sit on a picnic blanket while my small child flew a kite by themselves, which we hoisted to the air with one try

The location at this park under the shady trees and the wind for that time of the day made perfect kite for flying conditions.

If you're looking for a structured place for your kids to play, you would want to head down to the Mukilteo Beach Park or somewhere else with a play structure. This park has none.

As far as bathrooms go, I don't remember. Haven't noticed any. But maybe there's a porta potty? I'm sorry I don't recall at the moment.

They do have a few horizontal parking spots when you first pull into the parking lot. In case you have a trailer, you might be able to take those."

"I’ve got to say, Barbour View Park has become one of my favorite little spots in Everett. The main thing that keeps me coming back is the view—seriously, it’s amazing. You can just sit there and look out for a long time without getting bored. The whole place feels open and spacious, which I really like. There’s plenty of room to walk around, stretch out, or just find a quiet corner to relax.

Parking is usually super easy, which is a huge plus. On really nice sunny days it can get a little busy, especially with people stopping by just to enjoy the scenery, but most of the time it’s pretty empty. That’s honestly part of what makes it so perfect. You can show up on an average day and feel like you’ve got the whole place to yourself.

It’s also a great spot to take a break and grab lunch, especially if you just want a calm place to sit and get away from everything for a bit. There are a lot of places you can just chill, look out at the view, and enjoy the peace and quiet. It’s one of those parks that doesn’t try too hard—it just feels easy, relaxing, and kind of underrated.

If you’re looking for a place with beautiful views, plenty of space, and a laid-back vibe, Barbour View Park is definitely worth checking out. It’s become one of those spots I keep recommending to people because it’s simple but has so much going for it."

"Harborview Park is a nice spot with beautiful views of the water, making it a great place for a walk or a relaxing break. There’s plenty of open space, a playground for kids, and a few picnic areas. It’s a good place to watch the sunset or just enjoy the fresh air.

The park has a laid-back atmosphere, and parking is usually easy to find. It’s a good option for a casual visit, whether you’re alone, with family, or just passing through."
