Totem Lake Playground — Attraction in Kirkland

This park shouldn’t be open yet. Parking is terrible - there are a few street spots and the parking garage across the street is still under construction so you’ll have to dodge construction debris and equipment to use it. The playground equipment is fun for older kids but everything so close together you’ll feel like you’re always bumping into someone else. There is zero shade or cover.

Overall it’s a very poor use of space. There are so many better parks in Kirkland - houghton beach park, Peter Kirk to name two - so it’s probably a waste of your time to visit this one.

The bathroom is also big, nice and clean. It’s rare to find a soft toilet paper in a public place like this.

I didn’t see any special parking in the area but the street parking is available right by the playground. Overall, this is a great playground to be. We enjoy playing here and then strolling around the totem lake area to eat or...
