At Monterra Apartments, we understand that as important as
amenities at home are to all of our residents, there’s also the
need for certain nearby attractions that add an additional layer to
the comforts of home. It’s different for everyone, but if you’re a
fan of the great outdoors, you’ll definitely want to take a look at
our Bellingham apartments near Lake Padden Park.
The sprawling public park, which sits less than 3 miles south of
our community, boasts the picturesque centerpiece of Lake Padden
and is chockfull of activities to keep outdoor enthusiasts
entertained day in and out. Whether you’re looking for something
adventurous, relaxing, or perfect for the whole family, this place
has everything you could imagine.
First and foremost, Lake Padden Park is
always a good
choice for a leisurely afternoon of picnicking. You’ll be
hard-pressed to find anything as remotely as stunning to enjoy an
afternoon meal sprawled out on a blanket. (Conversely, if you’d
prefer to stay off the ground, there are sheltered picnic tables
available for use; you can even take advantage of a selection of
grills.)
For something a little more active, trek along the miles of trails
available. Some sections circle the perimeter of the lake, but
others will lead you through the woods, where you can spot local
wildlife. You can even traverse these on horseback if you'd prefer
that route.
Sportier folks will be happy to find an array of options to
organize either formal or informal games. There’s a basketball
course, multiple softball fields, multipurpose fields, and even an
18-hole golf course to tee off at. If you're new to the golf world,
there are even practice facilities and lessons available right on
site.
And hey, the park isn’t just great for us bipeds; if you’ve got a
furry four-legged friend that needs to expel some extra energy,
there’s a fenced-in, off-leash section where you can let them run
to their heart’s content.
If the outdoors are important to you, Bellingham apartments near
Lake Padden Park are about as good as it gets.
