About Lake City Beach Park
Lake City Beach Park is a public beach in Seattle, Washington. It spans 120 feet in length and is located 0.36 miles from the nearest bus stop. The beach is 1.8 miles away from Matthews Beach and 2.3 miles from the town of Lake Forest Park.
Lake City Beach Park, formerly known as Northeast 130th Street Beach, is a 60-foot-wide (18 m) public beach in Seattle on Lake Washington located immediately off the Burke-Gilman Trail at the eastern end of NE 130th Street in Lake City. The beach was a source of controversy when, in 2013, after 82 years of public access, a fence was put by the owners of the two adjoining properties after they discovered a legal technicality that gave them ownership of the segment.
