AZALEA PARK
Azalea Park is a charming public space located in Brookings, Oregon. Spanning approximately 33 acres, it's known for its beautiful azaleas and rhododendrons that bloom seasonally.
Opened to the public in 1991, Azalea Park features manicured gardens with walking paths meandering through vibrant floral displays. The park also includes a bandshell for concerts and events, picnic areas, children's playgrounds as well as Capella by the Sea which serves as an all-faith chapel or meditation area.
The main feature of this serene oasis is arguably its annual Azalea Festival held every Memorial Day weekend since 1938 (though not necessarily at this location from inception), celebrating the blooming flowers with parades and community activities. This event draws visitors from far beyond Brookings' borders to revel in nature's splendor amidst local festivities.
