1802 65th Court Southeast

This spot near Munn Lake is one of those low-key local gems that doesn’t advertise itself much, which honestly keeps it from getting overcrowded. It’s more of a nature hangout than a traditional playground — bring the kids, bring the dog, and just let everyone wander. The lake access is the real draw here, especially on a decent Pacific Northwest afternoon when the water’s calm and the herons are doing their thing. Families from the surrounding neighborhoods seem to claim it as their own backyard, and that community feel is part of what makes it work. Don’t expect a lot of equipment, but if you want some genuine outdoor time without driving far, this delivers.
