East Sammamish Park Master Plan
Summary
East Sammamish Park, a neighborhood park located at NE 16th Street and 214th Avenue
NE, was transferred to the City of Sammamish from King County in 1999. Over the
past few years, incremental improvements have been made at the park.
The 19-acre East Sammamish Park will go through the City’s Master Plan Process this
summer to identify priorities for future park improvements while ensuring compatibility
of new uses with an efficient use of the park land.
