    What a lovely little spot at the Edmonds beachfront. Water and beach access, grassy fields and a playground. A dog park is also right there along the shoreline, so watch your children and fearful friends while wading or walking along the shore. Parking can be found on either side of the playground making for easy access to the area.

    I finally visited this small park even though I'm only a 20 minute drive away! And what a lovey little park it is. You'll find a playground for children, a small beachfront, and a small dog park all next to each other. There are also walkways that connect to the boardwalk that will take you all the way to Edmonds Fishing Pier, which is also a fun spot to chill and take in the sights. On a clear day, you'll get a gorgeous view of the mountains. I must have spent a solid half hour just enjoying the view and taking pictures. Be warned, finding parking can be very difficult if you come in the afternoon. I got here around 11am and I was lucky to grab one of the last two spots.

    I spent an hour and a half on the boardwalk staring at the ocean. Yup, just staring. I loved it THAT much. I'm from the Midwest so any time I get outside of my flat, lame state, I am completely enamored. But upon coming to the marina beach park, I was straight up amazed that THIS is just down the street from the houses or in someone's neighborhood. Are you KIDDING me?! Spoiled. It's such a great place to walk, paint, fish, hang out with friends, workout, or literally just go by yourself and stare at the ocean for hours ... (don't judge). The view is unreal and will keep you wholly captivated. The mountains in the background, boats on the clear water, whew, it's stunning. They have a little bit of a beach area, obviously it's more rocky and dark than sand you'd find in Florida or CA. I would recommend this spot to anyone, and if you want you can just go right up the street and grab an amazing bite to eat anywhere that's open or walk into some fun shops/boutiques!

    This is a great beach and park. There is a section of just before the beach that has a playground for children; also, there is a nice beach area that you can use or just take in the great view. Near the park trail/pathway to go for a long walk to the Ferry or other beach areas in Edmonds. This is an amazing place to spend the day, I highly recommend it.

    Beautiful marina! If you look closely you might spot a seal! The beach marina has nice logs along the beach where you can sit and enjoy the view. The water is beautiful but cold! You can see Olympic mountains and ships along the water. There's also a dog park right next to the beach and you can see them wag their tails and jump into the water. Walking along the coast is quite pretty and you can walk on the marina to the other side of the beach as well.

    I have come here over the years many times and have always enjoyed my visits. I have been here three times since covid. The people you see walking around are really friendly. I have yet to come here and not meet someone nice to chat with and I'm not usually one to chat! Visiting the fishing pier has also been a cool thing to do. I also really enjoy getting to see the ferry's come and go. There's are decent restaurants around for a good meal so it's easy to make a day trip in this area.

    First, to be clear. This is one beach divided into two parts. One for people and one for off leash dogs. The dog beach is separated by a fence. This review is about the people beach. Okay, so this is a Puget Sound beach. If you're new to the area, never, ever in your wildest dreams expect a soft, sandy beach. Puget Sound is just too new (geologically) to have produced nice, soft sand beaches like you get at the coast. This beach has course sand and pebbles, some of them are rocks. There are also a lot of logs... a lot of logs. The logs are left over from the heyday of logging in the area when huge logging booms were towed around the sound and occasionally the chains would break and the logs would float away and wash up on shore. You'll find beaches all over Puget Sound that are littered with logs. It's not natural and I've often wondered why the various parks departments don't rid the beaches of them. However, they do make a nice place to sit - as long as you don't break a leg falling off one on your trek over the log pile to the beach. Having said all that which sounds pretty negative, it's a very lovely beach... for the Puget Sound area. The view is beautiful, there's a very nice grass area and the beach itself is long enough to stroll on. There's a paved path, though it's short and not made for roller skates but it's still nice if you just want to take in the view without climbing over logs. This is a very popular beach when it's warm and sunny so the parking areas can be full, but I usually find a place to park along the street that isn't too far away. Come down during storms and you may even see a 1 or 2 foot wave! It's high drama on the Puget Sound! BTW I've often found seal pups on this beach. It's against Federal Law to approach them. They're fine, mom is just out feeding and will be back soon, as long as you don't hover around Jr., that is. Oh, and they can even look.. well, kind of dead since they throw sand onto themselves. They're not dead, they're just dirty.

    I have visited Marina Beach Park 3 times this year, and I loved each one of the 3 experiences - 1) in February with my best friend Ryan, when we sat on a log by the water, peacefully chatting and enjoying the beautiful sunset, 2) in May with a small group, when we sat together at one of the many picnic tables, chatted, and ate food we'd brought and/or made ourselves, and 3) about 2 weeks ago (in August) with my husband, when we walked along the beach together where the water lapped against the shore, pausing every now and then for a hug. Each time, I was able to find a parking spot near the dog park, and each time, it was busy but not overly crowded. Usually kids are playing happily along the shoreline or in the small park with slides etc, so it seems to be a good park for kids. It's a very beautiful and peaceful place to sit and watch the boats moving slowly along the water. This is not a good beach to have a longer walk or a run - there is a tiny walking path that is fairly heavily-used that you can walk the entire length of in about 5 minutes flat, and the length of sand isn't very long either. However, since neither long walks nor running were the purpose of any of my visits, that didn't bother me. This is a great place to take your dog to, or to chill on the beach with friends or family.

    Had a relaxing and calming time at this dog park slash public park that ends on the water. Weird random trains go by sometimes and were pretty loud on weekdays but that is totally part of the charm. Also signs all over making sure folks only do off leash dogs in the specific dog park area. Small playground for the kiddos and little humans and a couple path trails and logs to climb and explore things close to the water. FREE PARKING FREE PARKING FREE EMPTY PARKING!!! DONE AND DONE! Was here during the day though around 3 or 4pm ish so cant speak about weekends. just creep pass all the marina boats and parking, drive around past about 3 or 4 parking lots to the end, and you will see the park and the prking for the park right at the end. Had a great self-care, nap time moment here and want to return.

    This small park in Edmonds next to the yacht club has a fabulous view of the water, great beach with BBQ stands, tons of driftwood and rocks, and a small dog park. I'll be coming back here to do some art and chill out. They have a little agility course for the pups, and the dog park is fenced in. Limited parking and no turn around so don't get stuck at the end of the road.

    Really nice place to spend an hour or more. Most people we saw were crowding the beach but there were plenty of places to spread out and a few places to sit along the way. Beautiful area and a lot of parking, which is always a plus!

    Wow wow wow... what a great place hangout on a sunny day! I went on Memorial Day so there were a ton of people, but the awesome thing was, parking so easy to find! Maybe I may have gotten lucky, but either way, I didnt see cars waiting in the lot for people to leave which is definitely a selling point for me as many of the beaches/parks on sunny days get extremely busy and parking tends to be hell. With that said, the sand was soft and the view was spectacular. Definitely coming back when the sun comes out again =)

I don't know why, but I have always been scared crossing the bridge over the railroad tracks on the way from the parking lot to the beach. I have no fear of heights, and in fact I feel much more peaceful in the air or on the water than I do on the earth. The bridge is sturdy and safe, with tall, secure fencing on both sides. Little kids were crossing it today with no fear at all. One little kid was getting pulled across it in a large wagon. That was pretty cute to see. It is a bit of a trek from the parking lot to the beach area, a trek that includes this perfectly safe bridge which I somehow mysteriously feel scared while walking on. I recently injured my right heel playing tennis, so I was limping and hobbling and walking quite slowly, but this walk was still quite doable for me today. There were a lot of people at this beach park today, but it really didn't feel crowded, and everyone we talked to was friendly. The only slight bummer was that one of the reasons that we went out there today was to talk with a Naturalist from the Seattle Aquarium. We talked with 3 different Naturalists. They were all friendly enough, but all 3 of them seemed noticeably unenthusiastic about talking about the sea life at this beach park. Oh well, we moved on pretty quickly from that, and we really enjoyed this beach park anyway. There were a few people flying kites, and the mountains looked clear and bright behind the sunlit water. I waded in the water (one of my favorite things to do in life), and the cold waves breaking over my legs and feet felt wonderful on a hot day like today. 5 stars for sure. This place is so beautiful.

They would walk us places for adventures during the week and Yost Park and Pool were one of the places we got to adventure. I enjoyed it then and still enjoy it now over two decades later. The pool itself is well built to be child friendly. It is in a stout 'L' shape with 25 yards in shallow to mid-depth waters. Very nice when one is young. The water as I remember it is cold, not a bad thing just a shock to the system to those who were not accustomed to it. Above the pool there are tennis courts, picnic tables, and a playground. There is also a sloped grassy area around the pool, but not one to play sports on really. I most recently visited Yost Park on Wednesday the 8th of July 2020 with my mom. Steep trails can freak her out a bit. One of the nice things about the trail system at Yost is that railings are provided in areas where the trail is steeper. Helpful in keeping one's balance and providing support while going up or down a hill. Signage along the trails provide warnings to heed especially when it is rainy and the trails can be slick as well as historical information about the park. We saw a chipmunk, a variety of birds, squirrels, and different plants on our visit last Wednesday. If driving here, make sure to check under your car before you leave so as to not run over and kill any critters who might be under it. I found a gray squirrel exploring under my car when my mom and I went to leave. Happy to wait for the little critter to continue on its way before driving off so it can live. Fun place to bond with the wildlife!

We rented our gear from the dive shop right in front with two tanks and got into the water at 5pm. We were lucky that day as the waves were calm and visibilitiy was 40-50 ft.

We saw enormous groupers, sunken ships, crabs, large sea slugs and my boyfriend even claimed he saw a seal pop his head up to the surface when we were swimming back to shore.

It is in a residential neighborhood, so it can also get quiet busy with kids at times.

I preferred the paved surface of the roads on the Rest Lawn, but I learned to get started and stop on grass (at this park) as that is harder than starting on smooth surfaces.

It's tucked away in Richmond Beach on the waterfront, and even though I am in Richmond Beach a fair amount, including a bar not too far from here, I had no idea this existed. You can not access the water as train tracks and a fence keep you inside the park. It's a small place with little parking, but an actual bathroom on site, a playground, black berry picking and gorgeous views. It seems to be a nightly walking place for many residents in the neighborhood and a hang out spot for local teenagers. In the actual lot there are only 5 spots (1 handicap), but it appears people are able to park up on the hill above the park and walk in. The play ground looks like a nice reason to visit, but it currently has some yellow tape on it for covid. Dining seems to continue to bring in visitors as there are a few picnic tables and we witnessed multiple people stop by with take out. It's very nice to be able to watch the ferries go by, including some big ships and if you are lucky a train or two. I think this would be an enjoyable place for anyone who likes to gaze out over the water. I plan to go back some day when cruise ships return and see if I can catch one going by, in the mean time though its a great place to watch a sunset.
