About the Venue

Fairhaven Park Spray Park is a seasonal water-play stop tucked into one of south Bellingham's most family-friendly parks. The spray area sits right next to the playground, making it easy to alternate between dry and wet play, while the larger park adds grassy space, picnic shelters, trails, and creekside exploring. It is a strong fit for families who want a splash stop that still feels scenic and park-like rather than purely utilitarian.
