Get Wet at the Waterpark!

Posted by Susan Moore No Comments »

One of Newcastle residents’ favorite summer activities is  Henry Moses Aquatic Center  .  Just minutes down the hill in Renton this water park features eye-catching, 26-feet high orange and blue water slides, as well as two separate pools, a 9,000-square-foot leisure pool and a 3,300-square-foot, six-lane lap pool.

 The leisure pool includes popular features such as a zero-depth entry, wave machine, water spray play area, lazy river, island lagoon, two water slides, a water play structure, toddler water area, and numerous spray features.

 But hurry and check it out this weekend. It is open daily through Labor Day 2008.

Newcastle Golf Course

Posted by Susan Moore No Comments »

If you live in Newcastle, and even if you don’t, you’ve probably been to The Golf Club at Newcastle.  These beautiful photos are just a reminder to you to go back up before the summer is over and enjoy the eastside’s most famous view.   By the way, the Calcutta Grill has a fantastic happy hour M-F with mouthwatering appetizers (that are really a meal!) and drink specials too.

Yes, you can play here too!  It’s not a private course like many people think.  You can go up for just the the putting course, or hit a large bucket of balls at the driving range for only $10 before or after happy hour!
