Cottage Lake Park is a neighborhood gem type of park. It isn't BIG, so it isn't worth a drive just…read moreto see it. But if you are nearby, stopping by for a stroll is recommended. 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.

I really enjoy this park. I like the mix of open grass area, a nice trail to walk around, and of…read morecourse the lake views. 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. There's bbq spaces, as well as a playground, so there's something for everyone. Always some kind of lovely scenery whether you go in Winter or Summer which is nice.

Parking is available but will cost you during the week except Sundays. Today was a beautiful day - lots of people, ducks, and even rentals for Kayaking. Beautiful weather and can get super crowded but it's a beautiful park where there's always room to walk around!

The East side is partially developed with 3 fully fenced baseball fields, a fourth baseball field, a soccer/lacrosse field, a gazebo, a kids play area, and an active beaver dam / pond. The trails are all classed as multi-use and enjoyed by hikers, dog walkers and mountain bikers. The west side of the park is a favorite of mountain bikers and has several trails with bike features. Denny Creek runs through the park. Part of this area had been know by local teens as the crash for years. In the 50's there had been an airport on top of Finn Hill and a plane had crashed about 1/2 mile short of the runway. The final remains of the old wood frame canvass covered plane were removed when they built the kids play area. If you are looking for the airport, you will find the Inglemoor Shopping Center (QFC & Bartells, etc,), apartments and houses where it was.

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.
