Lynden Wa Has A New Children's Park

The Million Smiles Park located in Lynden, is the newest addition to the city park. At a cost of over $200,000, this park has been appropriately named! Your kids will think they are at Disneyland when they start playing on the wonderful slide, poles, bridges, and swings. No expense has been spared and hundreds of volunteers in Whatcom county made this possible...both by donating their time during assembly and in the form of financial gifts.

The park is located just south of Fishtrap Creek, near the Jim Kaemingk Sr Trail. You can view more information at their web site www.millionsmiles.net
