    No sidewalk access getting to Big Rock park and small road is busier than ever and more dangerous to pedestrians.

    Big Rock Park - Need to drive to get to it, though it is surrounded by homes with kids who would love to ride their bike to it. No sidewalks and tiny roads have too much traffic.
  • Please rate the accessibility of public SIDEWALKS AND CROSSWALKS in Sammamish.
    • Poor

    The roads around Big Rock Park makes the park inaccessible unless you drive and park there. Small one lane roads with ditches on either side make it necessary for pedestrians and bicyclists to use the road. This is dangerous as car traffic has increased substantially in last three years.
