It has a great picnic place under a roof. The weather found this beautiful. You are able to bring a camping stove there to cook lunch. Parking is usually a fool in the summer. In the winter not so much

Very calm and quiet place. We love to boat when the temperatures are in 70s or 80s.

This park has everything. Its very ADA accessible with nice bathrooms if needed. It has a cute playground, lake Sammamish, a sandy beach, flocks of ducks, lots of grass... Very fun!

Best place to relax with little kids. The parking lot is always full but the waiting for a parking spot is worth the fun that follows. You can dive here, fish here, speedboat, swim, hunt for shells, play volleyball, and so many other activities. Its super relaxing to sit in a shade at this beach and just sleep/relax. You can maintain social distancing in this park easily. Although the parking seems full, the park is huge and you can have fun on the beach while avoiding being close to other people.

We went there on a full moon night. The view was one of the most amazing views. Its a quiet place for an evening stroll with family. I enjoyed most of my 45 min stay there barring a few nuisances. There were people who were smoking even around kids and playing music on their cellphone (they didnt move away even after being asked to). Aside from this, it was lovely to see families/friends having dinner at picnic tables. A group had a bonfire as well. Highly recommend for an afternoon get together or an evening stroll.

Good place to have a morning/evening walk. The lake is a good sight to relax your mind.

Great place to walk around small park with a view of the lake, about two benches at the lake, a covered seating area to the right. About 6 there. Then theres a path way across a little pond to a pretty medium sized play ground set for the kids. Also about two or three benches at the lake. And a restroom.

Amazing little park, youll always find a parking spot in the additional parking lot, and there is a cool lawn on the other side of the forest. Cool spot to swim too. Many families and BBQ on summer days.

What a great park. Water. Sun. Trees. Sun. I even almost forgot its the end of the world.

All in one park+ Lake Sammamish beach+ Large childrens play area+ Awesome views with good spots to take nice pictures.+ Good for joggers with highs and lows in the elevation with lot of tree shade- Less parking space- Overcrowded sometimes- If you are nearby, suggestable to walk instead of coming on vehicle.

A good place for a gathering, whether its a family or a group of friends. Plenty of open space, opens to a lake with a dock. Would recommend paddle-boarding or kayaking, the view is wonderful. If you do stay a while make sure you bring something to sit on, the ground is very hard.

Beautiful park with wide open grass area, separate playground area and small beach front (without recommended social distancing/maskless). We found a nice grass spot to distance ourselves and still enjoy the water and surrounding activities.

Definitely a great beach if you can get there early enough. Theres overflow parking just up the hill thats bigger than the main parking lot. Lots of shady spots in the grassy areas for those that dont bring tents or umbrellas to the beach.

Really good place, there is small beach and you can see people swimming, ducks roaming around.. people fishing. There is place to grill as well. A good place to sneak out of hustling city life

A nice neighborhood park with waterfront beach and picnic area. Great for kids and dogs.

Nice secluded little Park down by Lake Sammamish. Popular but not overcrowded. Has a play area for kids, a covered BBQ area picnic tables and nice wide open grassy areas. Fair amount of parking. Good for dog walking. He also had a Snack Shack with ice cream and things like that.

Beautiful landscape, love the nature. Great place to set off into Sammamish Lake with your kayaks and floaties. Love the places to bbq and covered tables.

Its a very perfect place for family and friends you can swimming and fishing and play football and separate playing area for childrens and arrangements for barbeque.

Beautiful sand, warm water. A bit crowded on my visit on a Sunday.

Fun place. You have the beach, you have the park and you have mini trails. Can frolic around the place and have fun.

Very beautiful place and very clean, it is safe to swim since it not that deep on the lake edges

Its a beautiful and peaceful place. Great place to take you kids, jogging/trail running, walking, fishing, chilling and more.Parking is available and theres a huge garden before you walk to the lake with a lot of space for people to sit/play.Well maintained.

Lovely little park. Very quiet when we went. Look forward to visiting it again when we are in town.

A nice quiet park hidden in the conner of redmond with a beach and hood swimming area.

We love this place, they have extra parking lot nearby,

Beautiful small beach park for evening walks. I love going here specially in winters as it’s mostly empty.

Been going to this park since i was a baby. I love it. The only bad thing is parking. There is overflow parking but its a little down the road.

And excellent place to spend an evening with the family, to go fishing with friends or even go on a classic picnic date. It truly is a beautiful view that of the lake.

There is awesome Beach area and a beach volleyball court. Overall the park is great. Unfortunately parking is difficult. An overflow parking lot is available but on busy summer days that gets full quickly too.

Fantastic park! Clean beaches, a dock, communal grills that were both in use and apparently kept clean, and plenty of space to keep to yourself.

Was a little crowded when I went in July but nevertheless if you compromise on the view just a little you can get a nice peaceful spot amongst the trees. Was a nice picnic spot!

Very peaceful place and lots of green. A small beach is present here. Water is so clean and good for swimming

Waterfront park on Lake SammamishQuiet beach with pristine waterBeautiful for a summer strollGreat for kids and petsPlayground, seating benches are also available

Nice lake for a hot day with full bathroom with shower bring your own soap

Went for team outing on a sunny day. Park has good facilities to do barbeque. Kids play area besides volleyball court alongside lake Sammamish is eye pleasing. Plan ahead as parking space is a bit limited. Nice place for a family event in summer.

This is such a great place to put in your kayaks. You have to walk a ways to get to the shore, but there is a paved path through the park if you have a cart to haul them with. We will return.

Grew up going to Idyllwood and now it is a favorite of my daughters.Paved trail takes you to down grassy slope away from roads to park. Beach divide by stream that you cross and enter the main park. Picnic tables on grassy area are first come first serve and there is enough surface area for a decent size gathering.Due to Covid-19 lifeguard is not on duty but usually it is staffed with lifeguards and a consession stand sells snacks. Bathrooms with shower are open. There is a Sandy area below grass and a dock that meets a curve to the right side which is more primitive and private with no lifeguards. No boat launch but boats can pull in.I swear this is the best Eastside beach

It’s a nice park in the neighborhood.

Very cool place for autumn pictures.

Good place to fish and be stress free. Also good parking for cycling. Bike lane avail all the way to bothel.

Very very packed on weekends, if your looking for space to swim and quiet areas this is not the place. Very dangerous with CoronaVirus times

I found this park by heading to the water to escape rush-hour mania for a lil while, and It did the trick! (mellowed me out, etc..) I especially admired the HUGE tree as the Greeting to the paved-walk down to the Lakes edge! There was some kind of unfinished renovation on the grounds - noted not by any workers working, but by fenced-off orange plastic impediments and the like - so I was not able to fully take advantage of the area, but overall Its a highly recommendable family picnic park with a lot of well-kept open space, and a gorgeous view of SW Lake Sammamish!

Great place to enjoy Lake Sammamish views.Super crowded on the weekends, and it gets hard to find a parking spot.

Great beach and huge park area. Gets crowded fast so go early. Parking can be a pain

Beautiful park. Lake access. Enough areas for kids and adults to play.

My favorite place to go to just picnic with the family.

Its a wonderful place where you find decent restrooms, kids play area, lake with ducks. A very calming place.

Peaceful and beautiful place to rest, so many nature around!

Amazing place for morning and evening walks. The lake view is great to watch.

Park with access to water. Safe for kids to play in water.

Amazing place so close to city and so relaxing and chill. First time here but this is gonna be our fav.Additionally to the stunning view of lake the playground is so nice with various amenities.

Best beach park around Bellevue

Went early spring during when the sun was setting. The views were gorgeous. It was fun to watch the ducks.

Nice park. All amenities. Hut available for reservations. Great for kayaking.

Great park with good facilities. Can get really crowded.

Serene place to be around. Decent sized park to walk about. Lovely little trail to take your pets across. Not so much a place to jog I would say. Its a place you would visit if you wanted a relaxed hangout spot with some great lakeview.

It was great to see so many people out and having fun and being happy. Volleyball, swimming, beach, dock, grassy hills, play area (blocked off at moment) and bbq designated picnic areas.

Nice small park for outing. There is ample of parking space. However the boat lauch here is not accessible to the parking lauch. You can lauch small boats and kayaks. Nice beach beach is on the other side of the park with fishing dock. One picnic shed and BBQ grills are also available. Restrooms are near the beach with children playground nearby. It is a small park with a lot of activities accessible to do.

Nice neighborhood beach park to relax with family.

My kid love this park! It has almost everything for a nice family outing: playground, picnic area, and sandy beach. Parking can be a problem but you can park in the overflow parking and it only takes you 5 min to walk down to the park.

Nice place to bring family and kids. Swimming not allowed

Very nice park to hang out and swim or catch fish

Nice view but there is insects flying around.

Good but too crowded for these coronavirus era

Although its small and even the overflow lot folks regularly, its still a fantastic park. Shallow water, playground, picnic area, it has it all!

Such a lovely place to clear your mind

Great dock for fishing.

All Seattle area parks are awesome in there own way. I like this one because the one half is for the playground and swimming, but the other half is quiet and peaceful for picnics on the water. There are big beautiful trees to sit under and watch boats go by. The small waves crashing into the shore is calming.

Great park for a a walk and a picnic.

If I told you it would end up a covid hotspot

Nice park! I like to watch the duckies and kick around in the water. Nice big Field and a playground for the kids

Very decent place for outdoor activities like Barbecue, childrens play area, rest rooms. Swimming, kayak boating is also possible here.

Nice quite peaceful,Swimming beach volleyballParks

Awesome place with lake view and kids park. It has beautiful grass lawn area with covered shed and volleyball court, overall its a wonderful place for family picnic.

Nice lake access for picnic and water activities

Love this spot, get there early in the morning for a better time.

Great place for some lake fun. The only issue that youre going to run into is finding parking. Its ridiculous that such a large park has such little parking.Theres a great area for boating, large open grassy areas, large playground, restrooms, little snack store, and a roped off swimming area.

A nice place for swimming aftet hard working day. It is small, but it as everything needed: restrooms, lifeguards, picnic tables, kids playground, volleyball playground. There is an extra parking lot, what is usefull during weekends.

Small park on Lake Sammamish but sign stated water has extreme chemicals no swimming etc. Not good for humans or dogs but fishing wasnt deterred.

Its a nice park with nice lake view, but there is no proper walking path. There are some benches to seat which is nice.

Nice little park complete with short walking trails, nice clean bathrooms, and decent picnic area. There are several BBQ (nice ones with Ash cans eight next to them). Looks like a great park for a summer meal. There is also a play area for kids as well.

Good people gathering spot on Lake Samm

Nice lake and park. It has a nice beach area. Dogs are allowed in the park on leash. Big clear space and it has the possibility to rent an area with roof and BBQ for any event. There are also some eagle living in the park and you may be lucky enough to see them hunting. For fishing it offers a pontoon platform as well.

Love going to this park :) It’s a great place to picnic with friends or family, enjoy the lake, and relax in the sun (or shade if you prefer). The lot fils up quickly but I’ve always been able to find space to park nearby or in the overflow lot across the street. Highly recommend.

This park is 10 minutes from my workplace. Decent size park. Our team holds team-picnics here in summer. There is a reservable shelter.There is kids playground too. Lake Sammamish access is there but no boat launch I believe. I wish we could see beautiful sunrises from here, but we only see Sammamish forests. No great views as such

Pretty neighborhood park with sandy beach, picnic areas, playground. Parking lot is rather small for the number of people there.

Great place for a morning walk in the winter. Along with watching the sunrises over the lake!

If you need peace in Seattle, Idylwood is place to be. Serene, calm, mystic.

Nice hang out place

Great small secluded beach and park

Very peaceful and clean.

Its a nice place to go for a swim or to relax

Nice lake side park

Beautiful park, nice kids playground and guarded beach during summer

Used to be great year round. Its still great in the winter, but in the summer its getting overcrowded, with too much barbecue smoke all over the place.Also, early this year the City of Redmond put down 31 native cottonwood trees. The eagles who used to nest there every year and stay until September left in July. Lets hope they return in January.This park has the potential to be paradisiac, but needs urgently a City administration with a more holistic view about human nature interaction.

Good playground. Beach ball court. Life guard till 6 pm. BBQ. There are two set of parking. They do have small shop to sell snacks.. though, shop may be close during off seasons

Nice beach park on west side of lake Sammamish. It provides nice beach for swimming as well as fishing. It was closed due to high bacteria level this week but overall a nice big park. There are benches with barbeque grills so good place for picnics. Parking is a bottleneck, as it gets full easily.

Beautifull place...

A quiet and peaceful place.

Very beautiful parkWater,sun, nature is just super
