What Makes Beach Park Event Center Unique

Historic Event Facility
The Beach Park Event Center has served our community since before the Europeans settled in Des Moines. The area was placed on the Washington State Register of Historic Places in 1988, and has subsequently seen the world grow and develop around it. Weave your story into ours with this charming historical site!

Unique Indoor Outdoor Wedding Space
The Event Center offers a one of a kind setting for outdoor weddings. No matter the season a Beach Park wedding is graced with beautiful sunsets, a quiet atmosphere and a rustic natural backdrop. Finding a perfect ceremony and photo location is easy in front of the rolling waves of the Puget Sound, framed by the Olympic Mountains.
