The existing trees that aren't dead, are way overgrown and very little of park is accessible because of this. The beach sedimentation has built us so much along the entire shoreline and they don't want anyone swimming here at a Waterfront park. What kind of waterfront park says NO to everything. The benches on the property are all facing weeds so can't see beyond to see all of the water. Please call the City of Lake Forest Park to ask them to get this park cleaned up including dredging the shoreline!!! So sad to see what a mess this place has become. City Hall: 360-368-5440

I love this place! I have been coming to Boeing Creek Park since my family moved to Innis Arden in…read morethe early-mid 1990s. As a kid one of the standout memories I have of exploring the park is looking for worms and other critters in the then trickle of a Boeing Creek with one of my friends and her geologist dad. In high school, I came here to run as part of track practice. While attending Shoreline Community College this and the neighboring Shoreview Park served as places for us to learn about local ecosystems in my introductory environmental science class. Some of our tasks included taking biodiversity plots to assess changes in species diversity and taking water samples and testing them for certain chemical substances that may indicate elevated water toxicity or pollution. More recently I have taken to exploring the trails and looking for wildlife on my own and with my family (including Schatzi the Münsterländer). Some of the trails are quite steep and have drop-offs, so something to keep in mind if you or someone you are thinking of coming here with is afraid of steep drop-offs and/or heights. The trails are clearly marked and the trail markers even have very precise distances on them. Parts of the Hidden Lake Trail are especially well worn so I exercise caution in which path(s) to take on a given day. Birds and rodents abound. I sat and watched one Hummingbird eating in the bushes along a beautiful face of rock. The red squirrels (variety Douglas Squirrel) like to sit in the tree branches and observe me as I make my way along the trails. The gray squirrels do too. I have found that bunnies are more readily observed along the paths in the mornings and evenings. Street parking is available at the main entrance on NW 175th Street and side entrance on 3rd Avenue NW. There is also a parking lot at the neighboring Shoreview Park, trails connect these two parks. Trash cans are well placed and are more abundant near the main entrance. I find this particularly helpful when I want to throw my dog's poop in the trash before getting in the car. If you are a human defecator please also pick-up after yourself. It is not like you are being asked to scoop your pee. Storms can affect the trails, land, trees, and water levels. Fun to see how things have changed especially after a big windstorm brings down trees and/or trees branches. Adds to the adventure by honing obstacle navigation skills!

The Sheridan Beach Community Club was a wonderful host for the meets I competed in at Sheridan…read moreBeach as part of the Northern Division circuit of pools (8 North Division teams, 8 South Division teams - Seattle Summer Swim League) when I competed on the youth team for Innis Arden from 1999 to 2010. Due to many cars during the meets, there was a bit of a walk to get to the pool for competitions, but not really hills to make the walk difficult. The pool deck around the pool was small, so we came with the be extra considerate mentality when swimming here because everyone was cramped. My first-ever post-season swim meet was here in 1999. It was B-Champs, a meet for those who failed to make the time cuts for prelims. I loved the pool and how fun the meet was. There was more joy on the pool deck than I later observed at the meets reserved for the fast swimmers. If there was one hook for me competing the full 12 summer seasons I did, it was that first B-Champs in 1999 for me and that I would get to swim at the Sheridan Beach pool again if I continued competing. I loved the four-lane pool. It was a unique competition environment and a tight fit in the competition space that I liked. Outside the pool deck was concessions, a large grassy area, and a playground. Our coaches encouraged us not to waste our energy playing on the playground. We found that allowed for some healthy rebellion, playing for five to ten minutes during the meets to make sure we did not lose sight of the fact we were kids. The space did not lose its magic when I became a teenager.

It also wasn't that pretty on summer with machinery around. But kids lived watching it!! There is always someone by the pool making sure it is clean, and I am thankful for them. We always say hello because they help us. I wish they could help us also reporting previous kind of situations. Courtyards are next to the pool, too.
