Cottage Lake Park

I really like this park. It can get crowded on nice days, as many others have mentioned, but the walking trails are still very pleasant and the crowds are mostly near the water. They also have a pool with instruction that is very affordable. They also have the children’s play area with the swings, and a bbq area as well. Restrooms are great for a public facility. All in all it’s a great park, don’t let the prospect of other people deter you from taking a nice walk around here!

Cottage Lake Park is a small lakeside park operated by King County and it is my primary walking site. Very nice in the fall and winter when the park is lightly used, mostly by walkers, with and without dogs. The dogs enjoy playing in the water even in cold weather. A few families visit, strolling or using the small playground, especially on nicer days. A good variety of migrating waterfowl stop at this lake, some briefly, others the entire winter.
The transformation comes on the opening day of fishing season in April. The dock and any other bit of lakeside access is taken over by fisher people. Littering becomes a problem on the dock and shoreline. Sigh.
The park gets busier as the weather warms. Once summer vacation begins, it’s a zoo. I seldom visit, returning when the weather turns and the park, once again, is peaceful.
I must mention that there are some homeless men from the church across the street who are frequently in the park. I have seen no problems with them.

Have tried this place twice. Both times it was PACKED with rowdy children and adults unwilling to parent their kids. Would not recommend if you’re looking to relax and enjoy your day.

I really enjoy this park. I mainly come here to fish off the dock as its stocked with trout or to row my pontoon boat around. Parking is kind of limited, especially close to the lake. Also if you are fishing there’s a lot of swimmers and dogs etc in the nicer weather so that can affect your catch. The bathrooms are decent and have soap which seems to be lacking at a lot of other parks. There aren’t a ton of tables but there’s a few. I can’t speak for the pool, playground or obstacle course as I haven’t used those. For me Cottage Lake Park is a good little spot.

Well, well, well. If you’re looking to find the waterfront white trash, look no further. Here, they’re honey badger. They don’t give a shit. They throw rocks at the poor ducks, let their kids dress like strippers (why not? Got to get their education for that dancin’ started soon, eh?) and smoke while swimming or they’ll blow it in your face. A lot of them swear at their kids and a van that looks awfully suspect (might as well say «Free candy» on the side if anyone thought these people could read) comes around selling ice cream. Honestly, once in a while I see a nice yuppie couple with well-​behaved kids here, but other than that, it’s like the show 16 and Pregnant casts-​off are here. If my gym’s pool wasn’t shut down right now, I wouldn’t be here.
