History: The park started out in the 30's but not as Park, but as a Resort. French's La Pine Resort as it was named back in the 30's when Marion Reiff French bought the 18 acre resort in 1932 but most called it "Frenchy's." Some time around 1966 or 1967 King County bought the Resort and converted it to a public park. Read more about the history Today there are million dollar waterfront homes all around the Pine Lake. Whether it's "Frenchy's" or Pine Lake Park the 18 acre space on the east side of Pine Lake of Sammamish is a wonderful place for residents of Sammamish to enjoy. I know my son had a great time at the soccer camp!
