NE 130th Street Public Shore
Park
👍👍 Truly a must see if you're visiting Cedar Park or Lake City. Gorgeous views, places to sit, and some sand to play in. Inconveniently located to drive to, but near Burke Gillman Trail. Tons of street parking. Own the 1% by playing in the park they wanted to privatize!
