Lovely park...nice playground. Wonderful family area, boat launch and the dock...we were there for Shakespeare in the Park. A great retelling of Cymbeline. Updated and exceptionally clever.

Federal Way has an excellent team caring for and keeping up Steel Lake Park grounds! Ample parking if arriving by Noon, with sweeping grounds, shade trees, amazing playground, concessions, and then of course, the beach and lake itself. A community gathering place, our family had plenty of room, even when many other families were enjoying themselves as well. People bring grills and coolers, blow up floaties and Frisbees, etc. People of all ages and cultures come to enjoy and relax. 10 Stars Federal Way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The park is fine. So why the 1 star you ask?....we were there to say goodbye to a loved one. This was her favorite park. It will be hard to go there again and not be saddened by her passing. Please go there and enjoy this lake, it is quite nice.

This park is a great medium size, with a beach, and many ducks who don’t shy away easily! It has a beautiful playground for kids, along with bathrooms and a large parking lot. Great scenic views! I enjoyed bringing my dog and taking pictures.

Is there any reason why we couldn't have this Federal Way farmers market here? It would seem like the perfect place. It just seems to me the farmers market shouldn't be in a parking lot.

Chris Edwards | Aug 10, 2022

They have plenty of room for that and have resource fairs there also with a lot of booths!

What wildlife needs, lives in the lilly pads near the dock becuse i want to remove the lilly pads becuse of the issue of getting tangled in them and drowning but dont want to screw animals over by doing it?

Kellen LeMaster | Aug 10, 2022
Amerika Dancer | Aug 11, 2022

Remove em mostly on the side you use to get in and out of the water, if you have a boat you dock there it'd be good to clear it all cause those getting tangled in your motor would be bad..

Chad Jackson | Aug 10, 2022
Dain Rupe | Aug 11, 2022

General standby is the floating power bait balls. Some people use the traditional worm. Seems to change daily what they're interested in at the time.
