5 BEST Things to do at Waverly Beach Park

Waverly Beach Park is another gorgeous waterfront park on Seattle’s Eastside, just 1-mile north of Kirkland.

Waverly Beach Park is most popular during summertime, with an enclosed swimming area, fun playground with hillside slides, and plenty of lawn areas to soak up the sun.

The park is located down a forested hill. It’s further away from busy Lake Washington Boulevard than some of Kirkland’s other waterfront parks, making it feel more secluded.
