We now have a park on the shoreline of the lake for which our city was named.  With two picnic shelters, barbecues, a dirt and gravel trail and a portable restroom, this is a great place to access Lake Sammamish, have a picnic, toss a Frisbee, and enjoy incredible views.  The park, accessible from the East Lake Sammamish trail, now has a parking lot on the east side of East Lake Sammamish Parkway.  Former parking along 187th NE has now been eliminated (converted into a bike lane by the City of Redmond).  You may also be able to parallel park along the west side of the Parkway.

To get there:  Head south on East Lake Sammamish Parkway from the Redmond-Fall City Road.  Look for the parking lot on the east side of the Parkway.  Or, try for parallel parking on the west side.
