Description:

• One of several parks along Lake Washington Boulevard, this is a popular retreat for city dwellers. It has waterfront and beach access.

Take a walk along the footpath to the pagoda monument, a gift to the city of Seattle from Kobe, Japan in 1911. There are also a playground, picnic tables and even a place to get food, Baker's Beach Cafe. Much of the park is wheelchair accessible. Street parking is available.
