Hello and welcome to a quick introduction to Elizabeth Park in the Eldridge – Columbia Neighborhood.  It’s the oldest municiple park in Bellingham and the trees are as old as the Victorian homes around the Park.

In the center of the Park is a large fountain and benches to enjoy the serene environment and dream about what it must have been like in similiar benches 100 years ago.  During the summer time the park has a music series playing.

All the big trees on the photo (pictured below), on the left are those of Elizabeth Park.  The trees range from walnut, chestnut and big-leaf maple trees.  You’ll also see a variety of wildlife from squirrels to deer enjoying the serenity and protection of the Park.  Notice the turn of the century homes lining the streets around The Park.  

 These large torch lamp must be 25 feet high.

Check out this great climbing tree below.  It’s branches are worn smooth from the clamboring of children trying to reach the top.

If you are looking for a neighborhood with character and charm, you would be hard pressed to find anything like the Eldridge – Columbia neighborhoods.  Give me a call and allow me to show you the various neighborhoods in Bellingham.

The historical Columbia district is the second oldest neighborhood in Bellingham. The community is mostly made up of turn of the century single-family homes, tree-lined streets, and parks. The selection of older, well-kept character homes gives the neighborhood an established Northwest feeling, and the number of parks in the neighborhood, the largest being Elizabeth Park, makes the community very child friendly. Columbia also has a “neighborhood” elementary school in the middle of the neighborhood, Columbia Elementary, reputable for the students’ high WASL scores
