- dog paradise!!! -…read more It's insane how long I've live here without ever really visited this park other than the two times that I was here for cirque du soleil lol. First of all, this park is HUGE! We walked around the center or the park and we passed by 3 playgrounds, one huge dog park and a garden. There was also a climbing area and they have ropes there for that too. It doesn't look too fun since it was burning hot. The dog park though .. OMG it's amazing! There are tons of little bushes for doggies to pee and jump around... Or play hide and seek. I love seeing all the doggies run around without a leash. I think it's just so wonderful and they all look super happy. Two huge doggies came to play with us and I got to pat them. They are super fluffy!!! I can't even tell the breed but they are huge with long fur! My daughter was in a carrier on me and she was a bit nervous when the doggies sniffied her feet, but overall she was fine with it. I also think this is also for dog owners to meet and mingle... Dog friends anyone? The garden is mostly for people to plant stuff, so it wasn't too interesting. There was also a performance area with a ticket booth, and several spots for picnic. Ps. Pay the $1 parking fee, or worry about the possible fine when you are spending time at the park.

If giganticness were a thing then this park would get full stars. However as the giganticness is in…read moremany cases quite empty then I've reduced the stars. Much of the giganticness is used for events, which I can't rate the park itself on; also at least from the sign when you enter, you have to pay to park here (everywhere? I don't know) which is a huge thumbs down from me. Pay at a park? No thank you. There's a cool/cute farm thingee on the right when you drive in with a structure that looks like a windmill without the rudder. There's an also cool totem pole near the entrance. After that it's....a lot of grass, walk and bike paths, great to take your dog I'd say - including an off leash section. There's a lot to offer and incentive to get to know the park better, which I aspire to do. In spite of the giganticness the (south?) entry off Lake Sammamish Pkway is fairly nondescript so just make sure you obey your gps lol.

There's a lot of areas for imaginative play - little forts, climbing wall, train etc. plenty of shade and picnic tables too. There's no bathroom but there is a port a potty if you're desperate.

First, a little history. Luke McRedmond, born in Ireland in the early 1800s, emigrated to the US to…read moreescape the potato famine and by 1871 had made his way to King County. He took a claim along the banks of the Sammamish River and eventually became Redmond's founder and first postmaster. His nearest neighbors at the time were a group of Native Americans living along Lake Sammamish. Now that you've made Luke's acquaintance I invite you to experience the lovely park named in his honor. Just off Redmond Way and in the shadow of a high rise hotel, is a small parking lot that I've never seen fully occupied. The covered picnic area shelters several tables and the grassy area is perfect for lawn games or running children. Not far down the adjacent, paved Sammamish Trail is water access for splashing or communing with the water fowl, as well as a fishing pier for specially created those with disabilities. Fast food is available nearby if you forget your picnic lunch. Come, sit a spell and relax! Jan 20, 2019 The river level was down yesterday so I'm adding a new photo that shows the fishing pier area when it's not submerged.

I've always accessed this area from the Sammamish Slough Trail which runs alongside the slough, and I've always loved this grassy meadow area, just south of the Redmond Way bridge. There's a small stepped ramp for folks to walk their canoes or kayaks to the water, and a sweeping weeping willow across the slough to the west, with a picturesque picnic table nearby. The Landing itself, like the rest of the slough trail, has been renovated and updgraded a few years back. It still has a lovely trailed loop and expansive grassy area for folks to play frisbee or let their dogs run, but now is more tended too, and less "wild". During Redmond's annual "Redmond Lights" festival in December, the Landing here is ablaze with warming bonfires, XMas lights and singing choirs or entertainers. It's a lovely spot to break while biking or walking or jogging on the trail, to or from Marymoor or Redmond Town Center or the Woodinville wineries, etc.

They have reserved picnic spaces but also lots of spaces where you can simply claim to use the day of your gathering. The bathrooms were not the cleanest nor was the lake water as my son left with a stomach bug the next day. The parking lot is a bit of a hike to get to the lake and picnic areas. I highly recommend using a wagon to transport food and drinks. Or you can have somebody pull up in the handicapped parking loop to drop off party supplies.

- Lovely well-maintained park with a barnyard -…read more It's a lovely surprise to see farm animals at a park! My husband drove my daughter and I here this morning, and I was surprised to see some farm animals here (cows, horses, pigs, ducks, rabbits, goats). There were some kids waiting to ride a horse too, and it looks like they also took them to the trail in the park (there is an equestrian trail too (yes, I've never seen that word in my life until today lol). The park seems well-maintained, and the barnyard area looks clean too. There are electrical wire around some areas of the barnyard, so I'm guessing some people violates the rules of no feeding/touching the animals regardless of the signs. I've never seen it before, so we exercised extra caution while trying to see the animals at a reasonable distance away from the wires. The park itself looks like a forest with super tall trees and fresh air. Some parts of the park is paved and it also looks well-maintained despite the horse poops on the road. There is a small creek in the park that kids can easily get accessed to as well. The bathroom was also clean despite looking like a bathroom at a campsite. ps. There was also a cat who came to me to let me pat. It also meowed when I stopped meowing, so I had to pat it again (this repeated for maybe 5 times). I am not sure why nobody else mentioned this, so I'm guessing it's a stray.

This is an amazing oasis. There's a barnyard area with rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens,…read moregoats, ducks, and more! There's no feeding the animals as they're on special diets, but some of the animals like the goats will come up to the fenced area for pats. I can see why they don't allow feed, as when I visited there was a private party with lots of kids-the animals would have probably gorged themselves if there was free reign of food. I liked how there was an outdoor row of sinks at the restroom facility since it encourages good hand hygiene after petting the animals. There's also a family restroom to make this place especially family friendly. I didn't have time to check out the trails, but they go through a wooded area and it looked cool.

The Redmond Downtown Park was completed not long ago in 2018 and is in the perfect location surrounded by businesses, apartments, and also is not far from the town center. It's a wide two-acre park that features a wide circular grass lawn, landscaping and gardens, active splash pads from May to September, plus a pavilion and stage. The dining groove is especially pretty in the springtime when all the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom! Most of the tables generally become occupied around lunchtime, but many people like to host a picnic on the grass lawn as well. Events would be held at the park prior to the pandemic, and sometimes art sculptures are left on display. Park has always been well-kept. Street parking, bicycle racks, and public restrooms are available. There is plenty of clearance, but still do be mindful if you bring your children as two major roads border the park.

You can park at RTC or on a near park parking lot.
