A tiny park indeed but it does have some of the best views in Kirkland, Wa. You can see the Seattle city skyline to the left and Mt. Olympus to your right. Love walking along the public pathways on the Kirkland waterfront instead of the busy sidewalk near the main road. Just look for the blue public pathway signs and enjoy the views as you walk down to Yarrow point (yarrow point has a Starbucks and public restrooms). Heads up- During winter they close the public pathways at 5pm.

It's a nice fenced park but a bit small. It definetely gets crowed when there are more than 5 dogs in the same area.

It's a beautiful and serene spot. The long wooden deck that extends over the lake is the highlight, offering a fantastic place to walk and enjoy the views. The park is very quiet and feels like a peaceful escape. I saw many people with cameras, and it's easy to see why—the views of the lake and the surrounding greenery are stunning. There’s a convenient parking lot and a restroom at the entrance, which is a big plus. I also appreciated the long path with benches that leads north to another park and shopping area. This is a perfect place for a relaxing stroll and some great photos.
