Carrie Blake Park is a Sequim city park that packs a lot of attraction. I’ve chosen to highlight it for today’s City Daily Photo theme.
Its flower garden is glorious right now, filled with beautiful iris and peonies. Within a month or two the bed will be filled with blooming lavender, roses, and dahlias. It’s wonderful all summer.
Summer concerts are offered in the band shell, above, and the open grassy area is used for fairs and other events.
There are a number of ponds. One, which I’ve featured before, is the centerpiece of a Japanese friendship garden. A small facility can host community events.
The park also has a colorful playground as well as a nearby dog park, skate park and playing fields.

Very nice park, Kay!
The blue flowers are they Iris?
Yes, Ella. They are bearded iris.
Such a pretty place.
What a fantastic park. One to enjoy all summer long. Those flowers are great. They would be tempting me to take lots of pictures.
and a beautiful park it is, nicely presented in your photos.
The park has something for everyone!
Beautiful park!
I always thankful for the people who had the vision to create parklands so many years ago.
