Looks alright, have an area for swimming and there is lifeguard service which are good. The not good is a few people feeding the ducks and attracting them stay and poop in the swim area (could be un-hygiene).
It was quiet when I went, likely because the city is not servicing the beach with lifeguards. It was somewhat clean, some trash around but better than other city parks. Good beach to start an open water swim or launch kayaks and SUP.
A cute little beach with roped-off swimming areas, a diving platform, and lifeguards on duty during the in-season. There’s a bathhouse with toilets and a shower area, they are industrial and not new, but clean and tidy. There’s one picnic table and two benches , otherwise bring a blanket. There is decent bird watching and some ducks that come by to say hello when you near the water’s edge.
Parking lot is decent sized, I’ve seen some drug dealing going on which isn’t great but many just sit in their cars quietly and enjoy the view.
Good choice for swimming and bonus for parking and bathrooms!

Loved this small beach. Went there to see Blue Angels air show during Seattle Seafair 2022. Place was not too crowded. If the parking lot is full, there is enough parking around the streets.
Relaxing. I love the rain and the silent but loud spoken sounds in nature when the day is overcast like today, the world seems like it quietly slows down. That's my forta¥! I love it 💯💯 #$outhendbaby #tillthacasketsdrop
The view of the lake is nice, and the water is cool, but only the shallow part is accessible. There are a few benches, so bring a chair for assurrance. Ok, if you just want to get your feet wet...
Very small park. Maybe it’s enjoyable to go in summers at night with your date and look at the stars from the car. Tiny park but plenty parking spots.
