The Park was established at Brackett's Landing in 1970 as a Marine Preserve and Sanctuary. It is the most popular of 10 underwater parks that make up Washington’s underwater park system. |

Brackett’s Landing Park is open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. May through September, and 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. October though April.
In addition to providing a reef for divers the beach at the Edmonds Underwater Park is good for sunbathing on a warm Summer day with the cool Puget Sound water keeping available for a quick dip if you over heat. |

The Underwater Park is a series of man-made reef structures interspersed with sunken vessels in various states of decay, which together create an extensive artificial habitat for a wide variety of marine life. These features are connected by an extensive network of fixed guide ropes anchored to the bottom which make it easy for divers to get around the Park. |

|
The man-made reefs are made from, concrete blocks, tractor tires, PVC pipes of various sizes, sunken navigation buoys, an old tree trunk, sunken boats & ships, old pieces of the 520 floating bridge. |
