Otto Jarstad Park Bremerton

We’ll explore this Bremerton city park for the first time. The gate is usually lock and we’ll park outside the gate and walk in.
Jarstad Park lies on the eastern edge of the city's water utility forest lands on 4 acres alongside Gorst Creek. Gorst Creek, once a main drinking water source for the City of Bremerton, is now the site of a stream restoration project. Only 10 minutes from Bremerton, the park features trees, open grassy spaces and beautiful views of Gorst Creek, which supports summer and fall runs of Chinook, silver and coho salmon.
Jarstad Park was dedicated for Otto Jarstad in 1966. Jarstad was the first watershed foreman and worked for the City of Bremerton during the Great Depression and wartime eras. The park is situated near the Jarstad Family's original homestead location.
