Big diverse park on Lake Washington
Sunday, August 21, 2005
Formerly the site of a naval base (complete with small airport!), Magnuson park is huge - 350 acres - and hosts many athletic fields, picnic areas, trails and playgrounds. It also has a boat launch, swimming areas, a large off-leash dog area, large hangars used for sports as well as various community sales or activities and hosts a low-income housing project, to boot! It fronts on Sand Point Way, one of the worlds shortest highways (trivia factoid) and is a wonderful community resource.
