A dramatic 31-foot climbing tower is the featured attraction at Torguson Park, although the view of Mount Si in the background is pretty stunning in itself.
This park, which sits close to a cute downtown, is sports central for North Bend. You’ll find multiple soccer, softball and baseball fields set up for games with restrooms and a small playground close by.
The park has one of the only skate parks in the I-90 corridor. The 8,000-square-foot skate area is older than many in the region (opened in 1999), but it has a mix of ramps, bowls and rails.
Very easy to miss is the informal BMX bike trails in the northwest corner. Volunteers turned a weed-filled unused corner of the park into a super fun system of bumpy trails. It’s designed to work for beginners and more experienced riders.
