On weekdays, when energy is scarce after a long day at work, there are places where you can unwind, relax, and enjoy nature without going too far away from home.

For you, an option is Old Mill Park (located just 6-minutes away from the Silverdale Ridge Apartments) on the shore of the Dyes Inlet. This 7-acres local park features picnic areas where you can enjoy a dinner outdoors (but no alcohol allowed), and if you need to get in some exercise, there are plenty of trails to follow. Your furry friend can keep you company, as long as it wears a leash.

The views of the water are lovely. If you have children, there’s also a playground area available. The next time you crave for the outdoors but want to stay close to home, consider spending some time at Old Mill Park. The address is 2901 Bucklin Hill Road, here in Silverdale.
