About

Causland Memorial Park boasts an amphitheater, beautifully established ornamental vegetation and plenty of places to sit and have a nice picnic or a stroll. The unsual park sprawls over two acres in the center of the city of Anacortes, Washington.

Originally designed and built in the 1920s by artist/architect John Baptiste LePage, it is a registered historic place featuring a great deal of stone mosaicwork. A good portion of the park is dedicated to local veterans who served the U.S. through World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War.
