A neighborhood lake beach on the west shore of Lake Sammamish with shallow water, fine sand, and lifeguards, right next to a playground and a big shaded lawn; Redmond families treat it as their summer backyard.

💡 Tips
Lifeguards are usually on duty mid-June to early September; the water isn't comfortable until after July. Parking is limited, so with a 2-year-old aim to arrive before 10am.
