It's peaceful & shaded- usually quiet. We appreciate having such a great park minutes from home.

Hamlin Park is a lovely place to go on a walk and enjoy the tall trees and wildlife. Trails run…read morethroughout the park and one of the paths (the main one I suppose) has white trail markers indicating in what direction to proceed to stay on the trail at forks in the trail. We didn't realize these were trail markers until towards the end of our walk today... we ended up going in the reverse direction around the trails. Runners, dog walkers, children in camp, and walkers abounded this morning. Along one of the trails there are restoration in progress areas where one can get involved in environmental stewardship if so inclined. Posted signs provide contact information on where to seek more information about this. The birds loved this portion of the trail and we heard a variety of different bird songs as we traversed this area. Wildflowers and plants in the park were beautiful and captivated my attention while exploring. On a more industrial note, there are big guns (I call them cannons) from the 1800s located by the playground. An essential stop if you want a fun photo-op and to learn a little bit of war history on your visit. My mom and I both enjoyed our visit today, Tuesday the 21st of July 2020, and found Hamlin Park a place we both are interested in revisiting. The parking lots didn't have many cars when we arrived around 9 a.m. but by the time we left, a little after 10 a.m., the parking lot we had parked in was about half full. The morning sun and cool air was very refreshing for a forecasted hot day.

This park is a treasure to me. I attended Celebrate Woodinville summer celebration yesterday and it…read morejust reminded me how much I love living here. The park is perfectly placed and laid out for events. Lot's of seating in the sun and shade, trail access, decent mix of shade cover and open sunny areas, plus it feels really safe. The trail that extends through this park is one of my faves. It is wide, flat, and gorgeous. I usually walk from here to where the Hollywood Hills wineries are, then back. Perfect flat walk for people with strollers, dogs, etc. The parking is limited- only about 15 spots. The baseball fields across the street aren't much better. I usually try to find parking at Woodin Creek or, if I have to, pay for the Schoolhouse District parking. A magical oasis in the middle of our sweet suburb!

We visited Wilmot Gateway Park with my kids for the first time today. The park offers a playground,…read moreopen play area, and connects to the Sammamish River Trail along the Sammamish River. The playground is great for kids aged 4-14. My little daredevil gave me a heart-stopping moment on the spinning climber, but thankfully she managed to hold on and avoid scraping her knee. Her sisters were beaming with joy, making it a fun-filled afternoon for all! A heads up: parking might fill up quickly, so plan accordingly. We actually took the local bus, which worked out great, so there's a convenient public transportation option available. The park borders the Sammamish River trail and offers a lovely view of Lake Sammamish from the walking trails. I recommend bringing a blanket or camping chairs - there's plenty of grassy space around the play area.

You just gotta keep a close eye and stay near your little one at all times. Make sure not to miss the right turn to get to the park...the sign isn't obvious - it's sort of tucked away so just slow down when you're driving so you don't miss it. You gotta take a right before you reach the traffic light, otherwise it's another 5 minutes to get back.

You can also get access to other 2 Parks like the Sammamish River Park through those trails. But the most awesome part was the frisbee course. It is not like other open frisbee golf courses. Trees and plants get in-between you and the basket. But you feel around nature. It gets muddy so be prepared. There's a map at the parking lot but you must pay attention when is the throwing spot. It also has some recommendations on how you should throw the frisbee. Let other parties go through if you are a beginner. That way you won't feel pressure from coming parties ;)

We find one painted rock each time we visit this park, the pea patch on the opposite side of the playground is a fun place to walk around and see all the cool/fun things people in the community are growing. Such a fun park to explore and hunt for painted rocks! Look for the hidden bamboo forest (windmill), one of my kids favorite areas.

Large grassy area with some trees - perfect height for climbing. There is a fence around the perimeter but no gate. A child could definitely escape pretty easily but it might slow them down a little bit. There is plenty of parking but it isn't really walking distance to any facilities..... however, lots of small restaurants do take-away nearby if you'd like to bring a picnic :)

On the park's property are also several sponsored YMCA activities, but those were closed during my visit. The parking lot at the NW corner is reasonably sized. We easily found parking. We later found another lot on the SE corner, but it was blocked. Entering the park, we see a picnic area adjacent to the sports court. The sports court is a single space usable for basketball and tennis. Walking further, we find the dock to the lake. The water is murky with a few ducks. There weren't any motor boats on the lake, which made the lake feel serene. The lack of water movement also yielded some fantastic reflection photos. During the later hours, we saw several men setting up their equipment to fish. A sizable playground is great for the kids. A short trail walk led to a second picnic area. The trail is a short loop walk with basic trees and wild growth. The walk is very well maintained and paved, even if not spectacular. The only "hazards" are tiny, speedy humans on bikes/trikes and yippee dogs claiming their territory. They added some excitement to a short stroll.

Parking can get tight especially in the summer so I usually park in the lot closer to the Safeway as there's plenty spaces there.

Great for evening walks, if you don't live nearby the parking situation can be a hassle as it hidden in rear and only a few spots available, the playground equipment is updated compared to the photo that is listed on the previous review from 6 years ago. I will have to attach a photo of the updated play equipment the next time we visit. Little bonus- someone added a touch of art to a small segment of the walking trail, a few little hearts spray painted on the sidewalk. My kids love to count them as we walk. In all this is a great neighborhood park for the area. A lot of options for all and dogs are allowed.

Second- it is a school playground, so it is only open on non-school hours. Third- the equipment gets incredibly hot during the summer. There is a drinking fountain and shade, so this is not a big problem. It is a great meeting place or picnic area if you live in the area. P.S.- this is one of those parks where there are always douchey foul-mouthed teenagers. Watch where your kids go!

I also think this parking lot needs more light. They have baseball fields. I had in mind trees for a park. The green park is pretty small. Yes, there is one tree. It was lighted, but this wasn't the tree where the festivities were going to be around. We had to walk two blocks or so to get to the other part of the park by the shopping mall. This park has 2 swing benches and the big tree. It also has big stairs to get up to yhe second floor which is kind of an uncovered house tree. Colorful part.

As I drove in I also noticed the painted pillars and decided to check this park out before going in and shopping. The park is very well maintained and neat and tidy. There are abundant benches and tables to sit and just relax, rest, or enjoy something to eat. On the whole, the park is aesthetically pleasing and I liked the artistic twist to the places to sit and overall theme of the park. The seating and tables on the elevated wooden platform were a new style to me. It would be a fun place to sit and eat and watch the cars pass by on the street below. Sculpture art pieces were well executed and contributed to forming a cohesive feel in the park. Painted pillars, my oh my what cool pillars. Each pillar has different artwork painted on it and lists the name of the sponsor for the column, as well as the artist who painted the column, and a quote in theme with the column. Between the columns are suspended benches where you can sit and either face the road or the park. So very cool! Fun place to stop and see some artwork outdoors.
