The east and west ballfield vicinities have a ballfield with their picnic area. The north picnic area has an open play field and horseshoe pits. Portable volleyball standards are available to these picnic areas, but users must bring their own net and ball. There are 20' x 20' and 10' X 20' canopies, tables, chairs and portable heater rentals available for outdoor picnics.
Large events must be planned through the special-activity permit process. Contact the park manager at (425) 823-2992 for all group events with an anticipated attendance of greater than 20 people. The picnic areas fill up fast during the summer season, so reservations are recommended and welcomed by calling (425) 823-2002. |
| Boating: |
| Boats may be launched at the Department of Fish and Wildlife ramp in Kenmore, which is just north of Saint Edward State Park. |
| History of the Area: |
| This site was once used by Native Americans while fishing the area.
In the late 1920s, the archbishop of Seattle donated the property to the Diocese of Seattle for use as a seminary by the Sulpician Order of Catholic Priests. In 1931, St. Edward Seminary was constructed. In the fall of 1977, because of declining enrollment and changes in the education of seminarians, the diocese sold 316 acres, including the seminary, to the state for use as a state park. In 1978, the property was dedicated and received its current name. |
