WAVERLY BEACH PARK @ KIRKLAND…read more This is more of the righter side (near most stores and restaurants) of the Wavery Park Street. It's about a 5 minutes walk from the main one. 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!

Lovely beach park in Kirkland. We went during the long weekend, midday and it wasn't too crowded…read moreuntil we left. Both parking lots were full so I can only imagine how crowded it gets during the summer. Great spot for the kids to play on the playground and also get some Sandy/rocky beach play in too. Beautiful views of the water and lovely boardwalk to take a stroll.

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.

Our son-in-law took us here just in time to see an absolute gorgeous sunset over the lake. Most of the water access is via concrete stairs, with a small sandy area and a sunbathing/diving pier. It reminded me a lot of the UW-Madison Memorial Union, with a similar set-up...though we never saw such a gorgeous sunset like this there.

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.

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.

I was driving to the Woodinville Haggen that neighbors DeYoung Park on Wednesday the 22nd of July…read more2020 and spotted the elevated wooden platform in the park from the road on my way in to the store. 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.
