Skansie Brothers Park and Netshed

This park is super cool it's about 5 minutes from my house and I came down here the other day with my daughter. There's an amazing view here and a park. Just down the street you can rent paddle boards or just walk up and down the street and enjoy the sights. There are many things to do. Especially if you have a dog a lot of people have little balls of water sitting outside the restaurants and little book stores so it's a really nice spot to walk around or if you plan a picnic you can just camp yourself on the grass and sit by the water.

Beautiful, clean area to play or rest. Some signs give historical information. Very pleasant.

There is also a lookout area above the restrooms that provides a nice view of the water and town. There are stairs and a lift for wheelchairs to the upper level.

Netshed holds interesting historical artifacts from the long history of Gig Harbor as a working waterfront. On Thursdays, during summer months, a farmers' market is held on the lawn. A splash fountain is available for kids at the Jerisich Park and public dock, next door. Public bathrooms are available.

Lots of work went into this waterside park, honoring those who lost their lives fishing and the history of the area. Great place to have a sack lunch, coffee, etc, lots of tables and views. Restrooms as well. Also has an interactive board for Gig Harbor's attractions.

Nice park. Better when sun is put and can see Mt Rainier. Parking can be tight. Beautiful area to take boat or harbor pics. Easy access to coffee and food nearby.

Nice park, nice restroom, bulkhead separating grassy area from tidelands. Tidelands are slightly mucky. Street parking only.

Cute little park right in old downtown Gig Harbor, pleasant and people here were friendly.

We thought it would be bigger. But the vendors they had were amazing. Walked around beautiful place.

Great park in downtown. Grass and a small fountain/splash area for the kids. Lots of activities going on around the dock. You can go up to the roof of the bathrooms on the second floor and look around.

This is a park close to the shore with a great museum that you can enjoy and visit with your family. On Sundays you can enjoy other activities here like different stands with diverse products or exhibits. Really nice place to visit!

The paddle festival is a great day to visit and demo boats between the races.

Vended here. And it was such an amazing event. I sure hope I get to do it again next year and years after. Nicely located. Clean. Super super busy. But the parking is horrible. But willing to overlook that.

Nice little park with harbor views that hosts a great farmers market. The net shed has historical exhibits and sells nautical antiques.

Love the view of the docks from the overlook. Has decent restrooms too. 👍🏻

Our family always enjoys walking along the waterfront and visiting Skansie Brothers Park. The views of the Harbor are good and the Christmas decorations nice to see during the holiday season. The park is a nice place to visit anytime of the year.

Skansie Brothers Park and Netshed, stands through low tide and high. Old and weathered contrasts nicely against the soft calming water and gentle skies. This old boathouse photographed in Gig Harbor, Washington.

We really enjoyed experiencing the Korean Chu Seok Festival sponsored by the APCC in the park yesterday! The Tae-kwan-do demonstration from Master Pae's World Class Martial Arts was the highlight of the day!

Beautiful park nestled in heart of waterfront area of Gig Harbor. Concerts, community, water activities, just lovely!

Beautiful! Farmers'Market on Thursdays.

The park is always nice, farmers market, concerts and young people working on their boating skills, just a great place
