Many people work to make Echo Lake Park a welcoming place

Echo Lake Park in Shoreline has become a central gathering place, attracting visitors from various backgrounds for activities such as soccer and pickleball. City Councilperson John Ramsdell noted the heavy use of the Interurban Trail by bicyclists. Maintenance crews have been diligent in cleaning and enhancing the park, recently weeding planting areas and mowing lawns. The installation of a blinking crosswalk at the park's main entrance improves safety for pedestrians. Police patrols have increased, with officers like Captain Woodruff taking proactive steps to address community concerns about drug use.

The daily cleaning of park facilities and the presence of security at the nearby Aurora Village Transit Center further contribute to a safe environment. King County Metro's ongoing efforts to improve the transit center include regular maintenance and community outreach. These initiatives collectively aim to create an inviting atmosphere for all who visit Echo Lake Park.
