Parks
Chandler Neighborhood Park
Located in Lakemont’s Chandler Park neighborhood, this 2.66 acre park offers paths for walking or jogging, and a play area for children.
Lakemont Community Park
Lakemont Community Park is 16 acres and features a play area, two picnic shelters, a basketball court, two tennis courts, a skate bowl, trails, restrooms, and a softball field.
More than three miles of multiple-use trails cut through the Lakemont neighborhood, connecting Lakemont Park and Lewis Creek Park. Lakemont Park's distinguishing feature is a large stormwater management system.
This system reduces flooding and helps protect Lewis Creek and Lake Sammamish from pollution. From the park, soft surface trails lead down to Lewis Creek. Listen to the babbling of the creek and watch for deer as you explore the vast open space of the Lewis Creek valley. Use caution; portions of the trail are steep and/or use stairs.
Lewis Creek Park
The Lewis Creek Park and Visitor Center serve as community gathering places for environmental education and recreation. More than 80 percent of the 55-acre park is preserved as an undeveloped natural area. The park is situated at the headwaters of Lewis Creek and offers three diverse habitats to explore - wetland, meadow, and forest – all accessed by boardwalks and soft-surface trails. Our easily-accessible headwater wetland provides considerable benefits to the community by cooling the waters of Lewis Creek, providing filtration of pollutants, slowing run-off to reduce downstream erosion, and providing valuable wildlife habitat. In addition to the nearly three-mile trail system, the site includes a visitor center, separate play areas for younger and older children, basketball court, soccer/baseball fields that can be reserved for practices and games, and restrooms that are open from dawn until dusk, seven days per week.
Deer Run Park
This park features a play area, picnic tables, and walking trails. No parking is available at this park.
