Located on Lake Washington, life in Downtown Kirkland is all about the water: boating and sailing, swimming, and fishing. In fact, two local marinas -- Marina Park and Carillon Point -- have guest moorage so visitors can hop off their boats and go shopping or have dinner downtown. For those who prefer to get around on land, Kirkland offers miles of bike lanes and a series of bike routes called the "7 Hills of Kirkland." Downtown Kirkland has a bicycle rental program, as well. Big Finn Hill Park, a 220-acre park, includes a five-mile mountain bike trail.
Downtown Kirkland is very walkable -- in fact, with the beautiful scenery, walking may become your favorite way of getting around. Be sure to try the Lake View Walk -- it's just over a mile along the waterfront and leads past some of Kirkland's best outdoor artwork. With Woodinville Wine Country next door, Downtown Kirkland residents enjoy some of the region's top restaurants, wineries, and tasting rooms. Shopping is a one-of-a-kind experience in Downtown Kirkland, which is home to art galleries, gift shops, boutiques, and more.
If you are moving to a Downtown Kirkland apartment with a pet, this is one of the most dog-friendly communities you'll find -- aside from walks along the water and dog-friendly parks, Downtown Kirkland is home to dog-oriented businesses, such as Booboo Barkery & Boutique, located near the intersection of Kirkland Avenue and Lake Street. In the heart of downtown, Peter Kirk Park provides open green space, a playground, picnic areas, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a performing arts center.
