Make a Splash

Located in Cottage Lake Park, this community pool, operated by the Northshore YMCA, is one of the only outdoor pools in King County. It has three lanes and features a water slide and 84-degree water temperatures. When you've had enough time in the water, check out the other park amenities, which include a playground, basketball court, and high ropes course.

Cottage Lake Pool will be open from June 27–September 1, 2025.

Lap swim, water walking, and recreational swim are offered as an included benefit for Y members and for a fee for Community members. 

Access to the pool requires reservations and completion of online forms and waivers.

So, get ready to have some water fun in the sun, and don’t forget the sunscreen!
