Waterfront Park is the City’s “first impression” park, and is located at Rector Street and Marine Drive on the waterfront. The site encompasses nearly an acre of land on Nehalem Bay. The park offers the community a window of open space. From the site reveals, a sweeping panorama of the distant coastline, Neahkahnie Mountain, the wooded Coast Range, a wildlife sanctuary, and the river estuary. Sunsets, storms, wildlife, fishing boats, and rainbows are all a part of this spectacular landscape. The park’s beautiful flowers, green grass, and magnificent views of Nehalem Bay and its islands add beauty and character to Wheeler.
