About

Bitter Lake Wading Pool, located at 13035 Linden Ave N, Seattle, WA, is a seasonal, unheated outdoor wading pool operated by Seattle Parks and Recreation. It offers a shallow, family-friendly water play area primarily for young children, typically open during summer months.

The pool at Bitter Lake Wading Pool is unheated, so its temperature is ambient, influenced by weather and the municipal water supply. It is generally cool and refreshing, designed for cooling off during warm summer days rather than for warm water recreation.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this wading pool are mixed. Many visitors appreciate its smaller size, less crowded environment, and proximity of the wade pool and playground, making it suitable for families with kids. One positive experience mentioned free lunches being offered. However, a significant negative concern was raised by a reviewer who encountered homeless individuals and drug users, leading them to leave. Some also noted that other splash parks might offer a more fun experience.

I like this wading pool because it's smaller and less traffic. Last time we went they were handing it free lunches! Very cool.

We came here for a family picnic and it was full of homeless people and tweakers. We shoveled our food back in the bag to finish eating back home.

Nice to play here in the water with kids but the splash park in Northacres is so much more fun.

Enjoy this spot! The wade pool and playground are close together and it’s not crowded.
