The Boardman Marina Park (http://www.eoni.com/~parkdu/) is perhaps the largest attraction that the town of Boardman has to offer. It is located along the Columbia River and individuals have the opportunity to camp along the waters of the Columbia and enjoy beautiful sunsets. During the summer these waters are full of life. It is not uncommon to see many individuals participating in things such as boating, jet skiing or wakeboarding. Also, Boarman hosts a couple fishing tournaments every year so it is apparent that fishing is one of the more plentiful events that takes place in this area.
For individuals who would rather stay on dry land, there are other forms of entertainment that are available. There are many paved walking and biking trails located along the river's edge. Also, there is a playground area for those who bring their children as well as a specified swimming area.
As far as recreational games are concerned, there are 2 softball fields, a basketball court and several horseshoe pits. Boardman is probably most known for it annual fourth of July festivities. Individuals from many surrounding towns come to join the festivities. The day usually starts with an early morning marathon, continues with a parade and eventually ends with a beautiful firework show. There are many other activities that take place throughout the day as well. The most entertaining of these events would probably have to either be the lip sync contest or the annual softball tournament in which the winner receives a rather impressive trophy.
For those who are looking for things to do that are not related to the Park, the Boardman Willow Run golf course is a great place to relax on a nice sunny day. Also, with so much wildlife area surrounding it, Boardman is a great place to go on horseback rides.
