A number of improvements will be made to Echo Lake Park this summer including handicapped accessible porous asphalt pathway connections, improved handicapped accessible beach access, a tot play structure with safety surfacing, a re-graded / seeded open lawn area, irrigation system, benches, picnic tables, bike racks, a barbeque grill, and renovations to the existing restroom (one unisex stall design).

Construction will begin the week of June 23rd and be complete sometime in early September. The Interurban Trail will remain open during construction; however, the park and beach access to the lake is anticipated to be closed during most of the construction. We are sorry for the inconvenience; the city will provide access to these areas as soon as possible.

Construction must occur in the dry, warm weather conditions of summer to allow germination of the grass seed and to provide stable ground conditions for heavy equipment to pave pathways, and grade and lay underground utility and irrigation lines.

Echo Lake Park is located at 1521 North 200th Street at the northern section of the Interurban Trail. The Echo Lake Park Improvement project is being funded by the King County Trail and Park Levy that is intended to make improvements to facilities that improve our regional trail system. Echo Lake Park serves as the north Shoreline trailhead for the Interurban Trail with parking, restroom and other amenities for trail users. City staff worked with trail users, adjacent property owners, and the Echo Lake Neighborhood Association to develop a Master Plan to ensure that improvements met their needs. The Master Plan was adopted in 2013.
