A quiet neighbor hood park on Phantom Lake with a short boardwalk leading onto a dock. Some people fish here. Not recommended for swimming, however fabulous for quiet reflection, a beautiful small lake.
This is also the start of a pleasant greenbelt walk: from Phantom Lake walk across 156th diagonally through forest trails to Larson lake (end up at 148th Ave SE) I usually then grab a latte at Starbucks on the corner of Main Street and 148th a further 2 minutes walk away, and then return!
