Kennewick: Parks, History and Golf

When looking for a hotel in Kennewick, it’s best to first decide what you want your stay to focus on: riverside scenery and trails, regional history, golf, or dining. In Kennewick, you can connect these interests to specific destinations: Columbia Park, the Museum at Keewaydin, Columbia Park Golf Tri-Plex, and Columbia Gardens. The Sacagawea Heritage Trail adds a recreational and educational route in the Tri-Cities to the mix.

Parks, River and Trails

Columbia Park covers 400 acres along the Columbia River and has a bicycle path. Its size and bike path offer two distinct points of interest: a spacious riverside park and a specific connection to cycling. If you like to plan your stay around individual interests, Columbia Park can therefore be thought of both as a place by the water and as a destination for cycling. When planning, you can decide whether the river or cycling is the main reason to visit this park.

The Sacagawea Heritage Trail is a recreational and educational route along 23 miles of Columbia River shoreline in the Tri-Cities in Washington State. As a named trail, it differs from Columbia Park as a specific park. A park and a regional recreational and educational route thus offer different points of reference for planning your trip.

History at the Museum at Keewaydin

The Museum at Keewaydin in Kennewick presents the history of East Benton County. Its collections include cultural memorabilia and artifacts from European settlers, as well as from World War II. For your planning, this offers a different focus from parks or sports: regional history is at the center, and the collections cover several historical reference points. If you’d like to include culture alongside outdoor activities, this focus gives you a specific theme to consider.

Golf: Two Ways to Play

Columbia Park Golf Tri-Plex has an 18-hole executive course and a disc golf course. This means two different types of play are available at the same facility. If golf is one reason for planning your trip, you can decide which one interests you before comparing hotels. This makes your plans more specific than simply looking for golf in general.

Dining at Columbia Gardens

Columbia Gardens has food trucks and dining options. Individual vendors and operating details may change, so check which options are currently available before visiting. If dining is part of your stay, you can include Columbia Gardens as a distinct point of interest in your travel plans.

Search for Hotels Based on Your Trip

First, decide which destination or activity takes priority in your travel plans; at Columbia Park, the riverfront or bike path may be the deciding factor, while at the Golf Tri-Plex it may be your preferred type of play. Then compare specific hotel offers based on details such as location, price, availability, and amenities. This lets you take your personal hotel criteria into account and focus your comparison on the reason for your trip.
