Spectating had a unique set-up for the northern division pools. One could stand on the pool and watch, but there was also a multi-level building with a balcony one could stand on as well as a bleacher area by a grassy lawn located up some stairs from the pool deck. The grassy area might not have been huge, but it was large enough to have some space to spread out during dual meets. During division-wide/league-wide meets (such as prelims, Northern Division, or All-City), the space was more cramped, but still large enough to get a small area. Concessions and ribbons were housed upstairs at the building, which was nice especially on dreary days. Restrooms were on the bottom level of the building and could be reached from stairs by the building or via the pool deck. The pool was on the cooler side and had slippery tiles. That was something our coaches emphasized for us to practice during warm-up - turns without slipping. Parking near the building was quick to go during meets, so getting to the pool tended to include a bit of a walk. Though, since that was the norm, it was easy to plan ahead.

The tall trees in and around the fields and play area provide a sense of distancing from the street(s) running past and help muffle the noise from vehicles passing by. Gates/entrances to the fields were clearly labeled and rules efficiently communicated. A great place to bring a ball and practice drills on one's own or in a group when the field(s) are open to the public for general usage. Also a nice place to sit in the car and do some nature watching if the squirrels and birds are out.

My experience is that I was paired with a female trainer named Andrea. I had a very BAD experience with her. She was belittling, demeaning, never smiled or showed interest, even once.She frequently rolled her eyes at me as I answered her "intake" questions. She acted as though she was so bored. I am in the over 50 category, and suspect that is why she was so disrespectful of me. I have not been back to that gym since. I would say, "buyer beware". There are other facilities with better management and trainers. I will likely drop my membership there.

Obviously, which I shouldn't have. I took their word for it and not even a month in, there's always a man that waits in his truck for me and my boyfriend to get there and walks in the same time, does the same exact workouts and follows us and watches us the entire time and as we leave he makes sure to lock his truck 6 times in a row because us 20 years olds are such a threat. The cherry on top which made me never come back, is that there was a homeless man with his hands in his pants, recording me outside the windows which had no curtains when i was walking on the treadmills NEXT to my boyfriend (which is in the front of the building where all the windows show out to the street) We called not once but twice and didn't get anything and decided to end our membership. It's obviously not their fault but as a woman, I do not suggest this place as it's getting more and more busier in that area because of the train and the transit station:/

For tennis players in Shoreline, these are some of the best and most convenient courts in the area…read more They are located at Lake Forest Park Elementary School, so there is easy access. You can park in the school's parking lot or on the road that goes right up to the courts. If you park in the parking lot, you will have to walk behind the school to get to them. There are 2 of them, and they are both open to the public. They're in excellent condition (no cracks or bumps), which makes for an enjoyable experience. The space doesn't get much shade except for in the evening, so be prepared. Fencing is all around the courts, and the doors don't have locks so they are always available. These courts have always been my go-to because they are almost always empty and easy to get to. If you want to play tennis but don't want to wait half an hour for a court, the LFP courts are the place to go.

My 7 year old son did not yet know how to swim, and had a bad experiences learning before, so I…read morehired Emily to give him a private lesson at the Lynnwood pool. She said she could teach him to swim. On the very first lesson, she instructed him to get into the pool, where he could barely stand, and hold onto the side. I expected her to get in with him, right after, but she didn't, and continued to try to teach him from the side. Turns out she doesn't even get in the pool with kids!!!! I can understand this as a coach for people who already know how to swim, but it's ridiculous to think he would ever learn to swim without her in the pool helping him, especially since she knew he had had a bad experience before and was afraid. She could have at least told me her method of teaching BEFORE she took my money for the lesson. If you are thinking about using her for a kid who doesn't know how to swim, I HIGHLY recommend you use someone who understands kids, like Swim Guru. Coach Carol there is excellent!!

The teachers are excellent and make learning fun. We waited until the end of summer and we had no issues getting a spot and in fact we had a smaller class size because I think most kids were registered at the start of summer. I found the laY end of summer to squeeze in lessons made it much more relaxed and breezy. It's the quality that counts not so much the latest amenities. For that we go to Lynnwood pool.

Yost Park first came on my radar as a kid when I went to the day summer camps at the Anderson…read moreCenter in Edmonds. They would walk us places for adventures during the week and Yost Park and Pool were one of the places we got to adventure. I enjoyed it then and still enjoy it now over two decades later. The pool itself is well built to be child friendly. It is in a stout 'L' shape with 25 yards in shallow to mid-depth waters. Very nice when one is young. The water as I remember it is cold, not a bad thing just a shock to the system to those who were not accustomed to it. Above the pool there are tennis courts, picnic tables, and a playground. There is also a sloped grassy area around the pool, but not one to play sports on really. I most recently visited Yost Park on Wednesday the 8th of July 2020 with my mom. Steep trails can freak her out a bit. One of the nice things about the trail system at Yost is that railings are provided in areas where the trail is steeper. Helpful in keeping one's balance and providing support while going up or down a hill. Signage along the trails provide warnings to heed especially when it is rainy and the trails can be slick as well as historical information about the park. We saw a chipmunk, a variety of birds, squirrels, and different plants on our visit last Wednesday. If driving here, make sure to check under your car before you leave so as to not run over and kill any critters who might be under it. I found a gray squirrel exploring under my car when my mom and I went to leave. Happy to wait for the little critter to continue on its way before driving off so it can live. Fun place to bond with the wildlife!

This is THE place to play pickleball outdoors. They have six courts, and it gets pretty popular on…read moreweekday evenings. It's nice because you put your paddles up, wait like five min, then you play a game and only have to wait another five min or so before you play again. It's nice to keep playing with a random selection of people. Typically my wife and I will split up the teams since we're not as good as the average player here. The only downside to shoreline is that you can't indicate your level, so it's kind of luck of the draw unless you coordinate who you want to play with. Technically they do have these magnets you can put down to show the level but no one uses it. Whenever I go elsewhere I try to find another court like shoreline. Most pickleball courts have the problem of being either too crowded, or not crowded enough (people are only playing with their friends, no rotation). For example green lake is ridiculously crowded.

Shoreline Park is located in a cluster of public facilities including the Shoreline Stadium,…read moreShoreline Center, Spartan Recreation Center, the Senior Activity Center, etc. I have utilized the soccer fields for soccer and water polo (the part of our practices conducted on land). Following the finishing of the tearing down of Shoreline Pool in 2022, the parking that was previously designated for the pool has opened up to those using the park. There are trails through the woods with benches speckled throughout the trees, a small play area, and trails behind the fence above the soccer fields. In addition to soccer fields there are tennis/pickle ball courts. A restroom building with an exterior water fountain is located towards the end of one of the soccer fields. During the summer months and the autumn the fields can be in high use. When I ran track and field for Shorewood High School in the Spring of 2007, some of the more adventurous runners would run some of the trails for warm-up. The Springs of 2009 and 2010 we used the fields for dryland training in water polo in addition to our in-the-water training at the pool. All three years, the park was quieter in the spring than the summer/autumn seasons.

I'll take pictures next time, I had to focus on my surroundings today to make sure she didn't eat anything off the grass.
