Madrona Park Beach
Seattle, WA
Madrona Park Beach sits below a wooded hillside on Lake Washington, with a roped off kids' swim area, a floating raft and diving board for teens and adults, and a fishing pier. A summer concession stand and lifeguards through late May to late August round it out.
A real, distinctive raft and diving board setup that stands out among the city's lake beaches, well documented and well used.
How we score beachesThe diving board and raft draw older kids and teens specifically, so it's a good pick if the swim beach needs to work for a wider age range than just toddlers.
