But at the same time I took a look from above. What a waste of land there for wild birds, and stuff with all that grass. I'm working on a yard near that lake now, and taking out the grass quite a bit. I wouldn't put in any tall stuff to block the view, but there's lots of short plants to help the native wild animals. They're more fun to look at, and the plants have pretty colors. I guess there's much that could be done, but then there's much less yard to cut. Not as much of that fertilizer crap would go in the water too. I can see how this battle is going on, and it will be interesting to see what happens. But at the same time I took a look from above.

It had great bass and catfish, but no trout as it got too warm, and usually froze over. Motor boats - only a few, you could row anywhere in a few minutes. In 59 the State expected to get public access and stocked the lake with trout, which enlarged the bass size greatly! The point I have not made well is that this is a big pond. A large influx of people and boats would over-pollute this already fragile water. I can see everyone's side as to rights and useage for people, but what about the lake's minimal water quality? Perhaps the waterfront owners could raise enough money to buy the land themselves? I wish the lake the best. I grew up on the lake in 50′s.

Legally, the lake is public. regardless of ALL other factors, access should then legally by public unless and until the law itself it altered.

You are entirely correct, open up a park and you are going to attract the same rif-raf the rest of Olde Burien attracts. I mean have you seen the crowd at the Mark lately? Hoodlums. And if the young children want a place to play they can go somewhere safe....like the skate park, or maybe the transit center. Please let me know as soon as you all wise up and build a fence around the perimeter of the lake, I would be happy to donate some labor hours. Keep on building the beautiful Burien Community guys.

They brake up the monotonous coastline of tightly packed dwellings with a natural green area with benches and walk ways. Parks make an otherwise stuffy, crowded lake look more open and active. forgot to mention; a lake park makes a city lake look more attractive.
