Shoreline Park

"The docks need some serious maintenance. People also need to learn how to pick up their trash before leaving. There are a few buildings that could be actually used if they were ever open. Other than that it's a pretty nice place."

"Quiet, calm, and really only busy on the weekends."

"Shoreline Park is a great place to hit the beach for swimming in American Lake or fishing off the docks. The swimming area is fenced off, has lifeguards, a slide into the Lake, and volleyball. Perfect place to spend a hot summer day with friends and family."

"A beautiful lake with gorgeous eagles and large bass, but its always covered in trash. Wouldnt be a bad spot for some extra duty."

"Probably one of JBLM's best kept secrets. Great park/playground/walking trail and swimming hole, lots of docks made for fishing off of too. You can often see Bald Eagles as well. Base access or a sponsor is required to visit. Little American Lake is no wake too, so that is nice. BIG PLUS: how often can you find a beach in Washington State with sand!!! If you want to rent a covered pavilion, do so through Russell Landing Marina. Super cheap. Deposit is refundable if you clean up after yourselves. Swimming in the roped off area is supposed to be limited to Fri-Sun, noon-6, Memorial Day-Labor Day, when they have lifeguards on duty, but I've seen a ton of kids in there without lifeguards, just know you are responsible for your child's well being! Try to take your garbage out with you, they sometimes have an issue with can overflowage in the summer."
