Great little spot to stop during a walk. Nice walking trail along this part of the lake. Many people out enjoying the summer. This is a nice little spot, but dont expect to be alone!

Fun park. Had a little area for smaller kids to get in besides the stairs that go to a 2 ft deep area. We visited close to the end of may and the bathrooms werent open yet which was not great. We pick parks that have bathrooms when you have a little person. It doesnt seem like its maintained often but it was clean from the areas we did visit. The parking isnt ideal as it is across the road and up a hill, there also is not a lot of it. We will be back when it warms up and hopefully the bathrooms are open

Its a pretty small beach, the whole playground is sandy so there is ample sand for sand play. The bathrooms are not open most of the year (they dont open until sometime in June). Not obvious where to park unless you read the website (across the street on Burnett Ave are several parking spaces). If you live nearby its probably a fine little park, definitely not worth driving to. There are both baby swings and regular swings and a covered picnic area.

True fight is not between good and evil, but between Known and Unknown. Allow for unknown to lead you, it might take you places you had no idea about.Park has bathrooms, but outside shower does not work.

Nice little well-kept beach park. And I do mean little. This park is pretty small, but it is quite nice with a swimming dock and sectioned off area for swimming. The beach area with sand is only about 10 feet wide or so; not many kiddos can get in there and play in the sand at the waters edge, but its mainly intended for launching canoes and kayaks anyways. Not a lot of parking around, as I believe it is a park mostly intended for neighborhood residents use.

Had a great time. Pretty safe for kids. Its Rocky sand till you get a couple feet into the water, and then its just rocks. The kids didnt mind, but I was more comfortable with water shoes than barefoot. Good facilities, theres a lifeguard. Shallow end is roped off and you have to pass a swim test to go beyond. There are some tables under a canopy, but other than that, no shade at all. The ducks are a little persistent, but not mean.

We go to this park regularly because its close. So 2 stars for convenience.Great swim area for toddlers as theres 5 lifeguards who like to over police. However if youre a teenager or adult that likes to have fun swimming this is not the park for you.Park is small and sits close to all the high speed boat traffic making the water choppy.Very small playground. Not an easy park to access for those with disabilities.If youre hot and dont want to drive another 30 minutes, this parks for you.

Small lake Washington beach park. Has sand area, kids playground and roofed area with couple picnic tables. Views of Mercer island, Renton and south Seattle shoreline. Beach usually is not too busy. Parks parking is small and usually all taken on sunny weekends, but plenty of street parking available.There arent any BBQ stations. The best thing I like about this beach, it doesnt have lifeguards. People and kids can jump from the dock all they want, unlike most other local beach parks where some rediculuos rules are being enforced.

Super small beach access. The kids toys are over the sand which seems cool, but the sand is not soft. My 3 yr took a tumble but the sand scratched her leg good. Great beach for swimmers though!

Kennydale Beach has been the spot to go swimming since my mother was little. She used to walk to this beach for swim lessons in the summer. Most famous amongst local youth for dock jumping into the deep end. Lifeguards on site during the summer. See posted hours. Parking is pretty limited. Grassy area on one end, sandy play area on the other. Kennydale Beach is tiny and hidden compared to its Big Brother Coulon located just down the way.

Kennydale Beach Park is small park with clean sand, a small swimming area and during most of the summer life guards from noon to close. There is also a deep water swimming section and lap lane (~70 yds). I come here to swim laps for my triathlon training. Lots of families and a very safe environment. Again its small, if you live in the area it is worth checking out. But not really worth the drive if you dont :)
