15 Amazing Playgrounds for Eastside Kids and Families

More than a century ago, Juanita Beach Park was a popular, privately owned beach destination with a two-story bathhouse. More recently its ownership transferred first to King County, and then to the City of Kirkland. Fast forward to today and this 22-acre space includes a phenomenal playground, complete with a tube slide, roller slide, climbing tower and more. Visitors will also find picnic pavilions, boating concessions and a seasonal bathhouse. Inclusive features, such as adaptive swings — including a fun double swing — and space to zoom around with minimal barriers, welcome all kids to play.

This Kirkland park is a definite must-visit for everyone.
