Paddling in the Park – Lessons and Rentals! Through Sept. 10 - Now's the Time to Paddle the Lake!

Sunset Beach will be closed for public access while restoration work is being done. Fencing will go up around July 10, through the duration of the work. State Parks are renovating the entire swim beach, including in-water and the out-of-water sandy beach, an ADA walkway to the water and a sandbox for kids. It is estimated that the beach will re-open in November.

This month, site work is being completed for the long awaited all-access playground. Sidewalks and foundations are being poured, readying for the installation of the playground equipment. That’s where you come in! At least 200 hours of volunteer help will be needed for construction, spreading sub-surface gravel and more. All ages 10+ will be welcome. This is a great opportunity for youth or community groups to offer community service.

Summer Nature Programs at Lake Sammamish State Park Wanda Peters, state parks interpretive specialist, has created an exciting line-up of special nature programs at Lake Sammamish State Park for people of all ages this summer beginning June 25 through Labor Day weekend.

All programs are free! Remember your Discover Pass!

The best way to become a part of all that the park has to offer is with an annual membership to Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park. Only $25/ single or $50/family. Through Jan. 31, 2017 (or while supplies last), each $50 membership will receive a custom FLSSP beach tote as a thank you!
