Three Best Picnic Spots in Stanwood - Arlington & Skagit County

May 7, 2019

My kids love the idea of going on a picnic, so we pack up what seems like half of our refrigerator a few times a year and head out to one of our favorite Stanwood- Arlington or Skagit County (S.A.S.C.) picnic spots.


We’re lucky, in S.A.S.C., to have so many great picnic spots to choose from! Here’s my family’s list of top three picnic spots in S.A.S.C.:


 

1. Location: Lake Goodwin Community Park

     Features: 

  • Lake Access
  • Parking
  • Picnic Shelters
  • Picnic Tables
  • Play Areas
  • Playground
  • Restrooms/Sanicans

What my kids love: The Playground is fun for all 3 of my kids, ages ranging from 4 - 10! 

What I love: The water is very shallow so they can run and play with out mommy worrying too much.



2. Location:  W.E. Evans Park 

     Features:  

  • Restrooms
  • Picnic table
  • Benches
  • Children’s play area - ages 5-12

                     Sedro-Woolley, WA 98284 

What my kids love: The feeling of being on an adventure. 

What I love:  This is more for the adventurous! Lot's of beautiful trails. You have to "work" for your perfect picnic spot.

That’s my family’s list, but I bet your family has their own favorite {town name} picnic spots! I’d love to know where they are. Drop me a line on Facebook {link to picnic post} or email me at name@macaronikid.com.
