A gem location here in Seattle, especially in the spring and summer. It's a 2.8 walk around the lake. You can rent paddle boats, pick a nice picnic spot. Fish, nature watch. Lots of people jogging around the lake. Tennis courts, a small place to get food and coffee or across the street there are places to get a bite. The lake is beautiful. Easy parking and it's near the zoo.

This park is part of the of the original Seattle park system among Seward park, Volunteer park, Washington arboretum, etc. It has a ~2.8mile loop around the lake, and it's wheelchair friendly all the way. Great place to walk, run and bring your kids/dogs. You will spot waterfowl, ducks and all other small animals and birds on your way. You can also rent pedal boats and kayaks to take on the lake.

Stopped by to wait out I-5 traffic. Excellent choice! 2.8 mile walking and jogging path. Watched the locals keep fit, had a coffee, and saw some Bald Eagles too. Beautiful neighborhood and trees.

I absolutely loved that there were no homeless tents or motorhomes with piles of garbage on the west side of the lake. The lake is so beautiful and the park is gorgeous. It was a wonderful walk with very good friend.
