Cornwall Park

Cornwall Park is named for the neighborhood surrounding (you guessed it) Cornwall Park. At 70 acres, the park accounts for over a tenth of the area, leaving the rest for a variety of homes and commercial uses.

Unlike other parks with manicured lawns and shrubbery trimmed into the shapes of animals, Cornwall Park truly has a northwestern feel. At the park you can perfect your frisbee golf skills on its 9-hole course, escape the summer heat under its many trees, or picnic with some neighbors of Cornwall Park's tight-knit community. Cornwall has a few of the many tennis courts in Bellingham, a playground for children, and plenty of trails for that runner in you. Whether planning a gathering or looking for a place to unwind on your lunch break, Cornwall Park will have what you need.

The Cornwall Park neighborhood is also home to Saint Joseph's Hospital (or, as the locals call it, "Saint Joe's"). Saint Joe's not only provides excellent medical care; it is also one of the largest employers in the city. With 253 beds and a Level III Trauma Center, one need not leave the city (or even the neighborhood) to receive the best treatment. Several other medical facilities are just across the street from Saint Joseph's, making Cornwall Park the place to be for doctors, nurses, and other health practitioners.

Since Cornwall Park is just south of Meridian, residents have quick access to Bellis Fair Mall and many other shopping centers on Meridian Avenue. The Cornwall Park neighborhood is bordered by I-5 to the north, making commuting efficient. Despite the convenience to shopping and main roads, however, the neighborhood is one of the calmest areas in Bellingham.
