If you want one Bremerton park that gives you waterfront, woods, and a playground kids go wild for, Lions Park is it. Seventeen acres along the Port Washington Narrows, a beach to explore, a famous Orca sculpture to climb, and a mile of looping path make it one of the most versatile family photo spots in the area. Here is how to plan a session here.
Where is Lions Park?
Lions Park is a 17 acre community park at 251 Lebo Boulevard in Bremerton, Washington, with a 0.7 mile loop path along the waterfront. It has plenty of parking, public restrooms, and water fountains, so it is easy to spend a relaxed hour here with the family.
Why Lions Park is great for family photos
The variety is the draw. We can start on the beach at low tide, where kids hunt for crabs and we catch that open Puget Sound backdrop, then move to the green lawns and the walking path for movement and portraits. Herons, seals, and even bald eagles show up along this shoreline, so there is always something to keep little ones curious and smiling.
What you will find at the park
- Beach and waterfront access with low tide beach walks and Puget Sound views.
- A standout playground with a climbable Orca whale sculpture and a zip line ride, a guaranteed kid pleaser.
- Open lawns and a 0.7 mile loop path for walking, movement, and candid frames.
- Courts and fields, picnic shelters, public art, restrooms, and ample parking for an easy visit.
Best light and tips for photos here
Golden hour over the water is stunning, so aim for the hour or two before sunset, and check the tide chart if you want beach access. Overcast days work beautifully too. Let the kids ride the Orca and explore the beach first, then we will settle into portraits once everyone is warmed up. Bring layers, the waterfront can be breezy.
