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. There is plenty of parking but it isn't really walking distance to any facilities..... however, lots of small restaurants do take-away nearby if you'd like to bring a picnic :)

I really enjoyed myself at this park/trail. My favorite part was the hidden offleash dog park. Make…read moresure you know your dog because this place is kind of maze ish. Worth the adventure. I was able to take a few photos of the plants and scenery along the way. My dog also enjoyed his visit. Parking is relatively easy here. I didn't need my discover pass. But I brought it anyways. The first part of the park is tour standard neighborhood park. Very small at first glance i almost wanted to turn around and leave. There is a covered area, a jungle gym like structure, and Picnic areas for family bbqs. So glad they also had a public restroom as we needed to use It on the way out. If you venture deeper into the woods and follow the trails you will begin a maze like adventure full of winding trails. There are streams and bridges and views of the valleys. So nice. Multiple entrances/exits and paths to choose from. Very easy to get lost or turned around. Thankfully that have maps. We forsure got mixed up and had to rely on the maps. We had fun. It was worth the drive. Be sure to check out the photos for a visual experience.

The park is well kept, with a big picnic area that worked perfectly for our gathering. If you bring kayaks, tubes, paddleboards, or similar, this is a super mellow and picturesque place to launch. We were there later on a Saturday afternoon with our church family, we enjoyed the music, the BBQ, volleyball, and it stayed peaceful and relaxing even with plenty of people around. The wide-open spaces, the lake water and gentle breeze off the water made it especially enjoyable. A great Kirkland park for relaxed family time by the water.

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.

You just gotta keep a close eye and stay near your little one at all times. Make sure not to miss the right turn to get to the park...the sign isn't obvious - it's sort of tucked away so just slow down when you're driving so you don't miss it. You gotta take a right before you reach the traffic light, otherwise it's another 5 minutes to get back.

There's no parking lot, but there is street parking along the sidewalk. I've noticed there are usually plenty of spots available, which is nice if you're driving over with the family. The playground is adorable with swings, sand diggers, and an adorable frog and dragonfly! There's also a large basketball court, tennis court, a nice grassy area that would be perfect for a picnic, and several picnic tables. The tables were pretty dirty when I visited though, so I'd definitely bring a cloth if you plan on using them. And you don't have to have kids to enjoy this park! I brought my book and found a nice spot to sit for a while, and it was honestly such a peaceful little place to slow down and enjoy the trees and greenery. Overall, a really cute park if you're looking for somewhere to take the kids or just want a little excuse to get outside and connect with nature for a bit!

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.

It's just up the road from bustle of businesses and suddenly there is lots of woods. This park features a picnic area, loop pathway through forest, wildflower meadow, native gardens with wetland views, large grassy area, and a small play area with natural type of play elements. It's not a large park but nice for the neighborhood. It is part of the larger "Bridle Trails Park foundation" which collectively offers more than just the Corner Park here. Some of what they offer are Nature walks, Halloween Scavenger hunts for families, and "National Public Lands Day" among other events to get you out. Again, perfect for families in the area already. Corner Park is just a part of a big system, could be a nice spot for a little walk.
