Very nice park buildings but absolutely no signage! I drove by 3 times before I figured it out. The parking lot entrance looks like a construction zone.

Well maintained park. Has a great playground design that the kids seem to like. There are picnic tables, but theyre not under any cover. Theres limited shade. The beach is small, but theres not usually many people there. The pier is fairly long, but narrow, so youll definitely want to wear a mask since people will have to pass close by. Ive seen people picnicking, fishing, swimming, and generally hanging out. A lifeguard was on duty when we were there. There is a wheelchair accessible ramp down to the pier. A limited amount of free parking is available.We found a nice patch of shaded grass where we spread out a blanket and had lunch. Other than the freeway noise, it was pretty peaceful.

Great park to bring the kids and have a picnic. Nice pier with pretty good fishing. The water looks clear and clean, but there is often a sign by beach area warning against bacteria levels in water.

Very nice and quiet. Has a small swimming area and a pier to fish on. There are also picnic tables here so people can sit and watch the waves crash.

I love the placement of benches, where you can sit and enjoy the sea breeze. Good place to kayak as well.Parking is limited and it can be little noisy as I90 is right above it.

Didnt go in to this nice little park this visit (theres some construction at the entrance), but instead used the parking lot for a bike ride across I-90. The location is perfect, as its a short ride across the street to get onto the protected path on the bridge, and coming back the path ends here, so theres no way to miss it.

This park is nice. The sound from the highway isnt the best, but the dock is really beautiful and the picnic tables are plenty. There is also pretty decent parking and a little bit of beach to enjoy.

Nice park. Very muddy at times. Sometimes over crowded with fisherman. Nice place overall. I like to come here and enjoy the water.

Lot of area but only high traffic sound on park

Beautiful park. It’s enclosed so is not windy at the beach. The playground is new and well maintained. The parking seems to be small but we’ve always found a spot. The only thing because I have a 4 star is because the playground is far from the beach, you have to choose one or another. The restrooms are well maintained and there is a shower outside to take the sand away. During the summer you can rent kayaks and some other equipment but check the days they are open before

Nice little secluded beach, good place to hang out or go swimming or just chill out, you can also rent canoes and kayaks here. Its sort of right under the bridge to Mercer Island, you could drive past it and miss it its kind of hidden. Theres also a dock here and they have lifeguards on duty. The parking here is limited but hopefully theyll fix it soon.

Enatai is a very nice, clean little park hidden away underneath i90. They have clean bathrooms and an outdoor shower to rinse off after you swim. REI also rents paddleboards and kayaks from the park. I like to come watch the sunset from here

Nice little Beach park in Bellevue with access to lake Washington. There is a REI boathouse where folks can rent kayaks and take kayaking lessons. There is one accessible parking spot, a kids play area, some benches and a very small walk path. Parking is very limited with few spaces next to the park and a few more under the freeway bridge.

Stay away. This place is terrible. The last thing it needs is more people as it is a hidden gem on the lake. Great fishing from the pier and rentals for athletes. All kidding aside, you will enjoy this key location to launch your activity.

Nice small park with green grass, shade on a hot sunny day, and great views of Lake Washington looking south. Nice boat house to rent canoes or kayaks to go on the water. Swimming area with a small beach and a life guard. Only downside is the park is under I-90, so you have the highway nose.

Magnificent park with incredible view and an immaculate restroom. Please, please keep this restroom clean, the possibilities of this restroom being permanently locked are great if we don’t do our part to keep things in decent (or in this case wonderful) conditions for each-other, for ourselves.#gvadm #doyourpart

Good to have REI kayak rentals that are so much better and safer than the period rental. Sadly water quality has been an issue lately. Parking can be tough

Great place for swimming and jumping off the dock. No diving boards, lifeguards are on duty a lot of the year. Maximum depth:10 ft. Kayak/paddleboard rentals available. Bathrooms are (relatively) clean, playground is nice, water fountains and a footwashing station are also available.

Secluded, fairly unknown beach front park with kayak/canoe rentals. It is under the freeway so you do get some car noise, but well with it.

Review №73

A nice place on Lake Washington for walking and looking at calm waters. During summer you can take kayak and park offers nice views and parking is easy with many streets around to park to. No commercial beach or shops there as its small neighborhood park with great amenities. Will post pictures next time I go there...

Beautiful park with scenic views. Rent paddle boards and kayaks. Great place for a picnic, even had a nice playground for the kids. The swimming area has lifeguards but is a little on the small size (hence only 4 stars).

Review №84

A good place to go on the week days but weekends are extremely crowded for such a small beach front area. The swim area is also pretty small. If youre looking for somewhere to float and relax, this is not the greatest place to go as the floaty and kid swim area are one and the same, as well as super small. If youre looking to go paddle boarding or canoeing this is a great spot to rent equipment from.

Small park right by the I90 bridge at the Bellevue side. Nice playground for toddlers. It has seasonal kayak rental and fishing dock. It has limited parking. The park is just a few steps away from Lake Washington. Ive visited a couple of times to fish for trout and perch. Theyre under the dock chasing my pink squid lure. Theyre not interested in biting though. Good spot to launch personal small water crafts.

Review №89

Beautiful location next to the water, hidden from site so that its easy to drive past without knowing. Even on a cold, cloudy day, it is wonderful. Hope to go back on a nice day this summer. But shhhh! Please dont tell a lot of people about this place - otherwise its peaceful beautiful nature will be crushed, along with my heart. And I will die. And then Ill haunt you. ~(- _ -)~

Tiny park on the south east shore of Lake Washington, right next to, north of, the I-90 bridge to Mercer Island. Not much parking and hidden back through neighborhood roads. However there is a nice grassy area with a good jungle gym for kids, a covered picnic and BBQ area, a sandy beach with a roped off swimming area and a boat dock. The best part is the boat house where you can rent kayaks or canoes and paddle north along the shoreline to gawk and envy the beautiful water front homes; or head south and east, go under the I-90 bridge and head into the still waters of the Mercer Slough. We saw a bald eagle, herons and ducks, it was not crowded at all on a Friday afternoon in August.

We had our company party here, the place was nice. Kind of cool how is was tucked under the bridges. A clean and friendly environment. You can rent a few different water toys or jump off their dock for a nice swim. A cool little spot.

Wish it had more to it but it always has clean womans restroom, pretty seasonal, though I do let my son play on the playground when its not raining.

Review №97

This is the perfect place to rent kayaks. You get in and out of the kayak on the beach (as opposed to a dock) which is much easier. Then you have easy access to paddle the mercer slough ...... within minutes you feel far away from the big city. Its very safe, as well. The slough is teeming with lots of interesting wildlife. Appropriate for novice kayakers and families, but also enjoyable for the more experienced. Great place with free parking.

Beach is very nice. Swimming area is nice, drops off decently fast in the outer swimming area. Swimming area isnt huge, so probably can feel cramped if a lot of people are there. Park area was nice. A few picnic tables, nice playground with jungle gym, large grassy area. Life guard was on duty and attentive. Only bad part of experience, was that a car was broken into in the public parking area while we were there. I would recommend hiding your valuables, or not bringing any at all.
