Parks and Libraries

The boundaries of the Montlake neighborhood are a collection of beautiful parks, lakes and waterways: The Arboretum, Interlaken Park, Lake Union, Lake Washington and the Ship Canal make up the borders of the area. The Montlake Playfield, a project the Community Club began in 1929, faces Portage Bay on the neighborhood’s northwest side. In 1944 the Montlake Community Club established the Montlake Public Library, which now serves the neighborhood from its new building on 24th Avenue East.   Montlake’s Little Free Library  can be found on 22nd Avenue East between Lynn & McGraw.
