One of the prettiest park and not a long drive from Bellevue. There is a nice little beach and you can see a lot of people swimming and boating. There are several trails to walk and bike. There is enough space to maintain social distancing. You can also see a lot of people fishing! There is also a lot of guidance and how to maintain social distancing and have added banners to raise awareness to prevent COVID. There is also ample of parking space! Highly recommend visiting this park.

Nice beach park. Crowded when we went on weekend evening. Cool breeze. Ample parking.

Crazy Covid Crowded.. playground closed. Who cares? Jungle gym closed. Lets get every kid on it at once. Picnic shelters closed. Not if you ignore the signs.

Beautiful park. Ample parking. Benches were a mess. I shunt expect them to be spotless, its outdoor and not under cover, but they had stuff all over then. Couldnt even wipe them down sufficiently. But if you are there for the beach and a grassy place to sit, its lovely.

Excellent park. Beautiful lake Washington views, picnic areas and grass. Decent parking. There is a small and cute playground for little ones. Sunset views are so pretty.

Was a lovely day walk, saw some ducks, geese and a few other masked people.

Great place for kids. Free parking and toilets are available. Picnic tables and short trails are also available. Wooded area with flowers. Easy to get to. Its also next to Lake Washington and has boardwalks. Good place for a picnic. Very good park.

Lovely beach park. It has a nice big kids play area. There are rest rooms. Its a well maintained park. Good parking structure as well.

Nice and secluded Park beach in Newcastle, get off 405 of the Newcastle exit turn right turn right again and just follow the sign down the road to Newcastle Beach. Park is medium sized theres a huge grassy play field and a covered area for picnics with some barbecue grills, the beach area its kind of small though. Good place for some quiet time or to walk your dog, they have a lifeguard Tower and they have nice restrooms as well. Good ample parking.

This park was pretty and there were a plenty of parking spots. However, there were so many poo poo! I brought my favorite beach towel, but had to throw it away after one use. Never coming back.

Beautiful beach with actual sand, easy parking, decent bathrooms (which are open). Lots of shade trees and open spaces, so enjoy the sun or shade. A lot of ducks, so you have to dodge the duck droppings.

Lovely place - quiet, pretty... Come enjoy the view and have a relaxing afternoon.

Nice combination of beach, ground and picnic area. Limited crowd so easy to maintain Social distancing.

Newcastle Beach park has a large open feild, as well as a playground, bathroom, covered eating area and swimming area. If there is a lifeguard on duty you have to take a swim test by swimming across the roped off area (you might not be able to wear goggles during the test). If passed the is a larger area and a dock to jump off. The area without a test is considerable smaller and shallower but fun for younger kids. There is also a small beach, preferable you would lay your towel in the grass next to it. The playground has a large structure with a side as well as so pretend train cars. At the covered area there are a few picnic tables as well as two grills.

Such a beautiful park. Lots of grass space for running around and picnicking. Medium sized playground. Walking trails and beach access. We even saw a couple of eagles while we were there!

The ducks were cool. Geese were a bit aggressive other than that service was great.

Nice lot of area to play and arrange party, duck droppingsCovered area for party as wellBeach kite flying bench to sit and eatWashroomsDocks, waves

This park has the most massive hydrangea bushes; they are so big they tower over my little Camry. Pull the flower clumps sorta apart for the surprise of beautiful almost batik-ish colors that you woulda never guessed would be inside- periwinkle blue, turning to violet, turning to the most gorgeous maroon shade. Be considerate about how you do it and the man who tends the grounds here told me I could cut all the blossoms i wished.This park also has a unique row of old support posts for a long gone dock which are unique because each has a several foot tall seedling tree now flourishing atop each one. Its like a demonstration of the circle of life, new life springing forth from old lifelessness... And at sundown, the sunset is directly across lake washington and makes a perfect backdrop for the baby trees. You just gotta go and see for yourselves!This is my absolute fav park on this side of the mountains for sure! I newcastle beach park!

A perfect park for summers. It has a lush green field, descent size play area, board walk, sand beach and picnic areas (covered and open). Parking is limited to 125-140 vehicles. Restrooms and beach shower is also there. Very near to the freeway.

Mid July there was high bacteria counts in water level, poor signage indicating this, and beach completely covered in goose poop. Be sure to check water levels if you go.

Cute little park which has grill area and waterfront. I like the trees there. It is kind of small but great for a relax walk after dinner or picnic.

A small park, not too crowded, but it has it all. Beach, woods, nature walk, open grass. The ice cream man even stopped by!

It was good..nice place for kids..little bit more clean would be wonderful

Great place for swimming and fishing for the whole family if it was totally open. Bathroom available for changing areas for picnicking and walking pads. No boat launch with limited parking.

I had a hard time enjoying myself at this park. Everything was beautiful but still I could not imbibe the experience I was so desperately longing for. Oh well.

Park could use routine cleaning to deal with the goose droppings. Otherwise, its a pretty setting

Its a small park with a nice beach and a big picnic shelter area, the green part is well maintained, bathrooms are also pretty nice.

Very nice park close to the water. Has a playground and clean restrooms. No pets allowed June - September

Great place for family outing! Its a nice place to just enjoy nature.

Nice park, very small beach and dirty water. But the kids had fun on the sand and there was plenty of room to spread out.

We went on a very crowded day so it was hard to get the full experience but it seemed like a nice place. enjoyed being able to have lunch right by the water. good play areas for kids.can be a little high volume so I wouldn’t go during peak hours if you are easily overwhelmed.also, the no dogs allowed rule is not a good one.

Great place to take a dip with your family, launch a small craft, or enjoy a nice picnic.

I love it great place and fun place for families and kids it worth it definitely.

Was nice and not too crowded but people dont read sign and had dogs there

Beach was closed, but it was still an amazing view.

Very beautiful and get a great view of the lake

Plenty of parking and lots of nice grassy area to play games. Swimming area as well.

I few years ago I like this beach. Unfortunately, its been going down. The beach was really dirty. We had to dodge so much poop before we even got to the beach area. The beach area wasnt clean either..

Newcastle Beach Park is beautiful and is a great place to take walks and/or to relax and de-stress.

This is the cutest little beach with docks, a playground for little ones, and huge grass space. Signs say no pets but Ive seen people get away with smaller dogs. Ive never seen it too crowded. My son loves it here.

Only knock is a parking shortage, but thats thats because this place is so popular. Big fields, flexible spaces, diverse users, plenty of trashcans, big sandy space.

A beautiful place to be and just take pictures....or enjoy some swimming on a hot day. Great for kids and adults.

Great day in the sun. Water warm but muddy

Nicely kept park. Theres a small beach area (with actual sand and not gravels) and a small playground next to it. Has public bathroom and plenty of grass area to run ariund. Parking lot can be packed on a busy day.

Calm and quiet local beach. Very relaxing.

My boys and I have now nicknamed this park Goose Poop Park. Although from a distance the grass looks green and inviting, it is full of goose droppings and feathers. The floating dock is also laden with poop. Very unsanitary and gross. In all fairness, the view of the lake is beautiful and an occasional eagle flies by which is fun.

Peaceful little place in the middle of chaos

Great beach, too much poo on the grounds.Great lifeguards-they were helpful and friendly with my kids taking the swim test and looking out for them kindly as they swam and learned the rules.Great Sandy and shallow swim area for little ones.The playground is fun too, but hard to see from the beach so had to pick one or the other and then move over to switch halfway through with the little ones. Great park, one of our favorites.

Amazing place to spend the day and see the sunset

Awesome place!! Quite and Nice. Enjoy with cold water and little beach..

An amazing park that is full of color and places to relax and take a stroll! Your pet will love it too, but, as a note, you cant bring the pet between June 1 and September 15. The views are wonderfully pleasing and the lake and foiliage relaxes the soul! Great work City!

Just one of our

Really nice park, play area for children is very nice, there is access to the beach and life guards around in the evening (during summer). Nice hangout place for friends and family.Many Birthday parties were happening and it is a cool idea to do one at this venue during summers.

Nice spot to watch the sunset

Swim park beach. Not really a park. Under maintained and needs some renovating. Needs a bit more care. Almost never a life guard on duty expect during summer prime time. Swimming is not encouraged most of the year and its upon your own risk.

Great little park. Not as well maintained as other city parks but worth it. Yes like other reviews state: Owners do not curve their damn pets.

Nice and beautiful place for pinics

Best picnic area

It has a lot of potential. It has nice green grass, but the birds poop in too many areas (see dock in picture), and the water has weeds all over. There are better options elsewhere. Also the swim shallow section is like 2 feet deep and kids need to pass a swim test to go in waist deep water.

Beautiful but small park with a large play area covered areas with barbeque and picnic tables. Small beach with a protected swimming area.

Nice place to visit with family, got a clean pure water beach, showers, rest rooms, kids play area, plenty of space for adults to play, few spots to reserve picnic areas. Little tight on getting parking otherwise recommend spot for day time getaway. Would definitely visit again

Very pretty, even in the rain!

It is a good beach / beach park to visit on a Sunny Day. There were many families on a Holiday when we visited this beach with family and young children. Most families had come in groups and were enjoying Barbecue food (they had brought with them the barbecue system). The water was still cold but the children enjoyed this place very well. great location and secluded. not a big park, but has everything you need! Even lifeguards! One Caveat is that its a hassle to go back and forth to your car to the water/picnic tables

Beautiful park and family friendly

Love this hidden Gem

This park is so great. Nice, open areas, also shaded by trees. Water and sand to play in, a great playground for big kids and little kids and a shelter for BBQs with plenty of parking and really nice bathrooms. This is easily one of my favorite parks!

I love this park but beware in the summertime towards the end the bird poop is atrocious! Its a great play to play for kids ...maybe up to age 10? Toddlers find lots to do and the great thing is you can ride your bike! A big circle paved trail all around the park and also an off-road smaller trail on the south-side. Lots of corporate parties here during the summer so go early for parking.

Quiet, pretty with plenty of seating by the water. The kicker is witnessing two giant bald eagles floating feet above the water hunting (most likely). Magical!

Beautiful park, swimming for ages, great big toy for the little ones and I dont think you can fill this huge park with everyone you know. Bbqs ..... do it. frizbee ..... play some catch awesome badminton. Just have a good time with whatever you do this is the park

Im excited to say we are going back again tomorrow. If you get there early enough the parking is easy. Its quite popular but there is always a place to enjoy the Sun and be near the water. My wife likes to get in and play in the water and theres a shower right there if you need it but its really designed for toddlers its a kids wading pool. I am happy to sunbathe and enjoy my podcast. Its so nice to be out near the water on these hot summer days. of course it has restrooms and theyre fairly clean. Theres no lifeguard nor any staff but none is needed. Like I say theres plenty of room for everyone. I was a little Disturbed to see that a band was setting up because youre not supposed to have loud music there. But we were on our way out so it was not an issue.

Great place for the sunset

Very clean and right on the lake. Playground area for kids. Great restroom facilities that are clean.

I was there for a function, so I cant really rate it bad or good it looked nice from where the group was, but not having explored the entire park I really dont know.

A theft took place this morning between 9 AM to 11 AM. Parking lot was half full and the thief saw a purse through the vehicles tinted window. Within 15 minutes, the police who came to investigate said the thief had tried to use the credit card at a nearby Best Buy. Hide your belongings at this park lot or better yet leave valuables at home.

I’m so sad!! This used to be a great family park but now it’s COVERED in goose poop!!! Isn’t there something to be done? There isn’t a clean place to step and the beach is closed.

There access to the lake and to the bike trail that runs for miles. My favorite spot to go on the walks with my baby...

Beautiful park. If you ever need a place to hold an event its very spacious and they have grills there that you can use.

The sandy lakeside play area is great for kids. Long hike from parking to play area. Of all the parks we visit, this has by far the least congenial crowd.

Nice spacious beach park. There is a small play ground for kids. Nice green lawn with food tables for picnic. A small pier to enjoy the views of the lake.

Super tiny family friendly park. I love taking my sons here to kick the soccer ball. During the summer it is super crowded because of its cute beach front to the lake. I suggest you go during the weekdays so youll have lots of space to play and picnic.Playground is designed for small children. No courts or fields for sports, just an open green area.

Enjoy the lake view on grass and having a picnic, along with some volleyball games would be a perfect weekend event :)

Nice. Good sized parking. Little flat walking path- not a trail. Seperate male and female bathrooms. Beach is small but theres a covered pavilion with picnic tables.

GreatBeautiful park!

Great park for picnic and group activities. It has kids playground too.

Beach was closed all week, and theres only one undercover picnic area. The grass is covered with goose poop, but its a great family friendly park

Nice place, good for kids and a little private area on the left side.Walk a dog!

Lovely park. Bald eagles!

Nothing that blows your mind but it is a good mid tier hotel that is quiet and reasonable priced. Close to the station where you can catch the subway to get to anywhere in Tokyo in about 20 min.

Good place to hangout with your family and friends. Playground, park and beach with lifeguard. Good ambience and decent crowd, mostly families with kids visit this place.

Nice park with good water access. Water little muddy though. Be aware of mosquitoes and flies. Lots of mosquitoes.

Clean. Nice biking trails. A great place for families.

Very Clean park with cool playground! The beach has sand so its a plus!

Plenty of room for people to hang out with the family. Nice beach area for kids too!

Big and beautiful. Nice play area for kids, and nice beach line to play at the shores. Restrooms are convenient and clean.

Beautiful park. Be aware of all the geese poop

Park is just okay, but beach is just a view...not clean and stinking water...not recommended for a full day out, just visiting and spending an hour should be good enough.

Great view of the lake and perfect for a picnic on a nice summer day. Water is a bit muddy though.

Loved the beautiful and scenic beach facing mercer Island.. the skyline after sunset is mind blowing!

Great sunset

Found this gem by accident taking a driving fatigue break. I cant wait to bring the family to check it out next summer.
