Edgewater Park: Escaping at the End of the Day


Living in an urban city brings a lot of grit and grind. So, weekends can come as a welcome respite. Taking part in recreational activities here in Edgewater Park, Mount Vernon can greatly improve your physical health. The 54-acre park is located near the beautiful Skagit River and is home to The Fabulous 4th of July and the Highland Games.

So, if you're a workaholic, then it's time to engage in outdoor activities at the park with your friends and family. Edgewater Park boasts of four regulation softball fields, a boat launch, a playground, and a large concert stage. It also recently unveiled a golf course to further compliment the large area. With all the amenities the park has to offer, you can get that much-needed exercise, which will lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. 

There are numerous greens that make the park temperature lower than the adjacent areas of the facility. Not only that, but the park also has easy access to downtown Mount Vernon, so this brings a quick escape after the hustle and bustle of your typical weekday-life. Now, isn't that a haven for human comfort, especially during the upcoming summer days. 

Besides the hiking trails and bike paths which snakes its way around the huge playing fields, it has other amenities such as:

Bird Watching/Wildlife Viewing

Edgewater Park has some of the best locations to spot birds of every kind. Waterfowls, quails, sandpipers, and hummingbirds are the usual sightings in the area.

By the way, during the peak boating season, a wheelchair-assisted, portable restroom is available near the launch area.

Isaiah 32:15-17, NIV, “…till the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest. The Lord’s justice will dwell in the desert, his righteousness live in the fertile field. The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.” Dear God, as you pour down your Holy Spirit upon us all, we may fully receive it and grow beautifully in faith and in love to you. Help us prosper in righteousness and confidence in spreading the good news and gathering disciples. Through this, we will come us one influencing peace and eliminating wars among nations; celebrating your greatness in one banquet; ending evil and laying out kindness. How beautiful it is Oh Lord to live in your presence alone. We lay everything in your hands because we believe in your divine will and plans. Let us find hope and rest as we pray in silence and sing with all our hearts in glorifying your name. Grant us...

Romans 14:7-9, NIV, “For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.” Dear God, I am yours — all of me, everything I have and may have belonged only to you. Because you are our creator, our eternal God. I will not fear if everyone turns their backs and walk away from me because I believe and I know that you will stay by my side. You are my one greatest friend and my living God. I live for you Lord God and I die only for you. May I come in unity with Jesus Christ our Saviour. Bind us as one so that we may be directed to live a life here on earth in accordance with your will and celebrate eternal life in heaven later on. Our Father Almighty, remember your people. We put our trust in you. Amen. Calvary Road Ba...
