Description

Set along the shores of Lake Washington, the park features a boat launch for non-motorized watercraft like canoes and paddleboards alongside its swimming beach, staffed by a lifeguard station during summer months. Across the grounds, picnic tables and a children's play area give visitors room to spread out, while lakefront views make it a natural stopping point for cyclists, runners, and walkers tracking the Burke-Gilman Trail.
