The large Battle Point Park is in this neighborhood. It includes the Edwin E. Ritchie Observatory, the John H. Rudolph Planetarium, the Battle Point Astronomical Association sundial, sports fields, gardens, horse corral, play structure, and other features.

Battle Point is named for a battle in which the local Suquamish tribe under chief Kitsap fought off a band of marauders from the north.[1] Arrow Point, forming the western shore of Manzanita Bay, is named for its sharply pointed shape.
