Recreation Northwest

Recreation Northwest

We promote outdoor recreation and bring people together to enjoy, preserve and improve the places where we play.

  • Parkscriptions-Whatcom-County-WA
    Parkscriptions connects patients with positive outdoor experiences for healthier lifestyles and improved mental and physical health utilizing Park Finder as a tool. During the COVID crisis please follow the guidelines for use of parks and going outdoors. 

     

  • recreation-economy-Washington-State
    Advocating for the economic engine of the Recreation Industry in Washington State with localized focus, we recently launched the Washington Outdoor Business Alliance. Our Alliance Gatherings  have been placed on hold until further notice. 

  • Fairhaven-Park-Stewardship
    Our Stewardship of Fairhaven Park works to improve the trail system for public access and sustainable development, restoring wetland habitat through native plantings and removing invasive species.
