A Lake Washington park on the north end of Mercer Island, packing a big playground, a small swimmable beach, a boat-watching dock, and wide lawns together, plus a quiet lakeside path.

💡 Tips
Summer lifeguard hours at the beach are short, so keep a close eye; restrooms and picnic tables are next to the playground. It's a quick hop from Bellevue over I-90, easier than going into Seattle.
