Shade trees. Convienence. 5 09/11/2008 trails, trees and natural areas 6 09/12/2008 Access to and from the water for non-motorized boats Lake Sammamish state park has some wonderful beaches and a good coast 7 09/12/2008 line for launching kayaks and canoes. 8 09/13/2008 The ability to put my kayak into the lake. 9 09/13/2008 Easy access and close to play area with adequate parking. I enjoy being able to launch my kayak at the many beaches on lake wa. I 10 09/13/2008 wish that there was more non moterized boat launches on lake sammish At Pine Lake, the kids enjoy the proximity of the swim area and play areas. We use the park area almost year-round (except for the very wet, cold 11 09/13/2008 season). 12 09/13/2008 Pine Lake is wonderful. No motor boats. Dogs are allowed. 13 09/14/2008 extensive parking and no boat launch I like the ones without a swimming beach, just rest rooms and picnic tables 14 09/14/2008 15 09/15/2008 Manual boat access (for Kayaks) 16 09/15/2008 Easy water access, beach, ducks The natural setting, water access and the environmental health of the park 17 09/16/2008 and waters. Open space for walking in such a beautiful setting. Also enjoy seeing how 18 09/16/2008 much use the parks get from families in the area!! 19 09/16/2008 Pedestrian and dog access Beach/water accessibility, restrooms, swimming, grassy areas, bicycle 20 09/16/2008 accessibility location, accessibility and activities; also restroom facilities that are 21 09/16/2008 maintained 22 09/16/2008 access, proximity to water, open spaces, playgrounds 23 09/16/2008 Diverese Populations & ease of access I like the limited amount of parking space at Pine Lake Park because it helps keep the total population of users down to a more "Park Like" 24 09/17/2008 setting, as a place to relax. Survey Results as of September 24, 2008 Wooded semi-natural but still accessible waterfront. My family enjoys a wooded grassy waterfront area that still allows access to the lake by people. A 100% natural thickly vegetated area is of no use to users in an urban park (might be more approp in a natural preserve situation). At the same time a barren plain of sand, spotted with goose poop, such as at Lk Sammamish St Park and to some extent at Matthews beach is just plain 25 09/17/2008 ugly. 26 09/17/2008 I like the natural environment, not lots of ball fields and lights. Priority order:easy parking; landscaping is appealing; childrens playground 27 09/17/2008 is clean; 28 09/18/2008 Access to the beach. Powerboat access at Idylwood park 29 09/20/2008 Their close proximity. 30 09/20/2008 easy access I like the natural features, (woods and lake) of Pine and Beaver Lake..and I can walk to both of them from my house...they can be connected for a nice walk. I also can walk to Ebright Creek (wish there was more sidewalk on 212th) I like the other parks as they have easy access to the bike trails...good place to get off the bikes and rest and have lunch. 31 09/24/2008 Access to the Lake for swimming, picnic tables, grassy areas with shade 32 09/24/2008 and playground equipment. 33 09/25/2008 The beach is easy to launch from and there are toilets. 34 09/25/2008 Nature, walking, beach, putting in rubber raft.

Close proximity to other amenities such as places to eat, entertainment, easy 4 09/06/2008 pedestrian access without needing to drive, safety and eyes on the street. 5 09/09/2008 Camping. 6 09/11/2008 not applicable 7 09/12/2008 a safe place to land, and I'd be there in an instant if had a clean restroom! 8 09/12/2008 Easy access for kayakers. 9 09/13/2008 A place to park and a put in for non-motorized boats. 10 09/13/2008 Plenty of parking, play area, picnic area and access to bike trail. 11 09/13/2008 easy launching for non moterized boats "kayak" 12 09/15/2008 manual boat access better views, some water features like fountain, etc. for kids to soak on hot 13 09/15/2008 days Easier access for personal powered water craft. Beaver lake boat ramp 14 09/16/2008 requires a permit. 15 09/16/2008 a coffee shop, resteraunt and gas pump I would be wonderful to have a boat boat launch facility other than Lake 16 09/16/2008 Samm. Something on the north end of the lake. 17 09/16/2008 Bicycle access 18 09/16/2008 parking/ease of access Well, just, go to Greenlake. Full length water front, scads of parking, and a 19 09/16/2008 vital community within walking distance I would visit the East Lake Sammamish (Rail) Trail more frequently if there was 20 09/17/2008 paved and signed parking. 21 09/17/2008 No Dogs! I would really like to see the ELST with some type of water access (as the 22 09/17/2008 water does belong to the public - we just cannot get to it). as I havent been to a WATERFRONT park so I cant compare. As long as parks 23 09/17/2008 are kept well maintained with easy parking I would visit them. 24 09/18/2008 Power boat docking and boat ramp Survey Results as of September 24, 2008 Hikings trails or quick walking connections to existing hiking trails. If they had a clean, well-maintained, attractive swimming area--only Pine Lake offers this in Sammamish right now and it's very busy with people because of this. We need more options. Lake Sammamish State Park is not well maintained, feels a little junky and could use some landscaping. An additional waterfront park in Sammamish, particularly on the North side where there isn't anything, would 25 09/20/2008 be fabulous and well used. 26 09/20/2008 better parking facilities for my car A drop off for kayaks near the beach that is separate from a motorized boat 27 09/25/2008 launch site. easier access with no motor boats nearby for rubber rafts or other small non 28 09/25/2008 motorized craft.
