Lake Sammamish State Park, Issaquah

There’s no question that the playground at Lake Sammamish State Park is among the Eastside’s best. 

When you arrive at the playground, you’ll spot a nine-foot bird, gigantic toadstools and a miniature mine. You may think you’ve stumbled onto the set of a Lewis Carroll movie, but this wonderland adventure is all real and it’s yours to explore.

Something to keep in mind, though, is that parking here is not free. Because Lake Sammamish is a state park, you’ll need a Discover Pass ($11.50 per day or $35 annually; buy onsite) to park here, or plan a visit on a State Parks Free Day when you don’t need the pass to park.

Location: 2010 N.W. Sammamish Rd., Issaquah
