There's no dedicated parking lot but there's street parking along the park exterior. There is a play structure, basketball hoop, tennis court, and a large grassy area surrounded by tables and benches. It was very quiet and peaceful walking around the playground. It is a really nice park!

It was just available for workers, and a regular guy went into it and started harassing us while my kid was playing in the playground. It didn't feel safe. Anyone can get into. I am glad it is fenced. I told an elderly lady about it and she was nice to me although other people felt used to it :( Be aware of your kids around, please! 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. They get busy with pickle boarders fun to watch :) I believe courtyards could get a little revamp. Weird there were various adults, but just 2 toddlers using the wading pool.

I usually park in the residential areas around the court. Everyone drives too fast on 130th, lots of loud cars and fire trucks, the area usually reeks of marijuana, and there are definitely a lot of sketchy people around, but it's one of the best courts for pickleball so one just deals with the craziness around.

I competed and practiced at Twin Ponds Park when I was growing up for soccer, back when the soccer…read morefield was made of dirt. The dirt field was fun as it allowed us to adapt our soccer skills to different natural conditions (standing water on a dirt field, inches thick mud, loose dirt, and dirt hard as pavement because it froze in 20 degree Fahrenheit weather after a rain). The times the dirt froze helped up become more conscientious runners on the field, especially in regards to how we would run so our feet would not catch on the frozen dirt. Aside from the soccer field, there is grass area to warm up, walk around, or take a picnic. A trail system winds around the two ponds. On my visit today, Wednesday 26 July 2023, I saw geese, ducks, a great blue heron, a few small blue dragonflies, and gray squirrels. The restroom building had running water and soap. Parking was abundant as it was quiet, on days we had soccer games it could fill up quickly.

Now because there's a pond or lake next to the field there's a great possibility of losing your $150 soccer ball when it flys into the lake. Come on the least you could do is put up nets to avoid ball loss or drowning. On a positive note there nice new field turf down on the ground. Fake grass is amazing to play on. Also a short distance away is Jerseys Sports Bar for after game nacho's & beers.

There were a few people at the park and a variety of birds were singing. I spotted a bunny rabbit, Rufous-sided towhee, and robin while walking around. A paved path around the park helped alleviate any fears I had of tripping. The grass, playground, and gazebo were well maintained and cleanly. A small bridge connecting the playground area to the gazebo area went over a waterway. Fun place to go on a quiet day like today and do some wildlife watching.

There's no dedicated parking lot for this park but there is street parking in the neighborhood. The busiest part of this park is the skate park because there's not much else here. The fences make it look like there's stuff still being worked on but also looks deserted. It's a quiet park and is a nice place for a stroll.

Staff usually man the desk at the entry and can answer questions, point you in the right direction and provide information about the goings-on at the community center.

This review is just for the pool, as I have yet to use the rest of the facilities…read more The Meadowbrook pool is okay compared the other ones around Seattle. First off, it's indoors, which means swimming all year round. It's huge, has diving boards, a few bleachers to sit, and is freaking cold. Sign up early for lessons and classes. Always call ahead to check for closures due to cleaning and maintenance. These people really need to heat their pool better. Especially for all the kids swimming in it. We've done the baby class here and it's terrible for children and infants to have to brave cold water. I've seen plenty of people having to leave early because their infant can't handle the cold. I know they've been informed of the problem, but they don't seem to care. And honestly, it is a tad cold even for me and I'm a god damn Polar Bear Plunge member! I love to cold water swim but not when I'm in a pool. The locker rooms are decent. Clean. Enough benches, only one changing table though. Plenty of hooks, lockers, showers and toilets. Even some crazy-spiny-dry-your-wet-stuff thing. Strangely enough, Seattle sure has some body issues. It's just silly to see grown women nervously and dangerously stumbling under a towel so no one can see their "goodies" while trying to carol their children. Maybe I've just been in the medical world too long or I just have no shame. Either way, prepare to get looked at like a leper if you get naked without reservation. The parking is ample, though you get plenty of Lake City spill off and slack-jawed yokel teens running around. So watch your belongings and lock the doors. Vandalism and break-ins are normal. And it is so close to the beautiful Meadowbrook Pond. A great excuse to explore that area.

The paint is slowly chipping away. In 2004 I graduated from Sunset Elementary School, a little while after I graduated it was announced the school would close due to budget cuts. The City of Shoreline tore the school down and made Sunset School Park in its place to preserve the land in the case that a new school needs to be built here in the future. Even if a new school is built here it will not be identical to the one that preceded it. Each building and each structure has an identity of its own. I have come here a few times since the school was torn down to walk around and reminisce about where things used to be located and where different activities took place (such as the Walk-a-thon and soccer practice on the field above the area with the playground). The playground has been upgraded since I attended the school, though it was also upgraded when I attended the school. There are two large field areas (one on the upper level and one on the lower level), a sheltered play area, and a large community garden in addition to the playground and a tiny patch of wooded play area. While attending elementary school I was playing tag with some classmates and said "bite me" to one of the boys who decided to take the idiom literally instead of figuratively as I meant it and bit me without my consent... ahhh the physical assaults of elementary school. Still love the trees though, trees this big and old are an extreme rarity at urban schools these days. Means a lot to me that they have chosen to keep them around. The park can get a bit busy, something to keep in mind if you are looking for a quiet secluded place to walk, play, or relax. Beautiful park and location.
