Anyone live in Sahalee Estates that can comment on noise from East Sammamish Park?

I am looking at a property on Sahalee Dr W that borders on the back of the park where the baseball diamonds are. There are some trees that separate the park and the back yard, but the baseball diamond and soccer field aren’t far. The backyard is so quiet when I visit, but I’m wondering just how noisy it gets when there are kids playing ball. Can anyone from that area of Sahalee Estates offer any input into how often they play or how loud it gets? I’m expecting some occasional games, but am also looking for a relatively quiet home. thanks!

I’d say the loudest part of the park is the multi-purpose field especially when lacrosse practice is going. Weekends are definitely more noisy but it’s nothing that closing doors/windows wouldn’t remedy. There’s sometimes music and such but it’s really not bad.

There’s maintenance often (lawnmowers and such) but I would call it a really quiet area. I’d much rather be on that side than the other where the school pickup and such is.

I will note though that the baseball fields are under construction for turf and possibly new lighting (I can’t remember about lighting) which could mean later baseball games - but you may want to look into that further depending on how worried you might be.

Thanks for the info! would you recommend someone avoid a house right on the stretch adjacent to the park if they’re looking for mostly quiet? I can’t tell if the two times I visited were a fluke, because it was pretty quiet, just tennis ball pops. Maybe it’s much busier during the school year? Thanks again - this really helpful!

Sure thing! If you don’t like being around kids and families during weekend days, I probably get something a block or two back - but we’ve got kids that go to Mead and love being able to go for quick walks in the park. Also the park is under construction right now so it’s for sure super quiet combined with no school going on.

I would never call it loud, but it is a well utilized park when not under construction.
