About
Mount Baker Park is a gentle ravine boulevard sloping down to Colman Park and the Mount Baker Bathing Beach on Lake Washington. Local residents picnic and play tennis here, or set the kids loose in a playground in the southwest corner off S. McClellan St. that was renovated in 2016. Others stroll down a wide pathway-under maples, mountain ash, and chestnut trees-to Lake Washington Boulevard and the beach. Restrooms are located partway down the path. The northernmost end of the park is the starting point for Bicycle Sunday.
