The following are excerpts courtesy of the HistoryLink.Org....Should I include ??? I presume the Park existed but more information needed. Does the following indicate 2 Parks ?? (Dance Hall usually meant something 'more')
Bratnober cleared the west side of Beaver Lake before Weyerhaeuser cleared the east side. Thus the first scattered development on the lake was on the west side, probably around 1920. The first permanent residents on the lake were Jake and Nora Lott, who came from Vancouver, B.C. The Lotts had a cabin west of present-day West Beaver Lake Drive, and by 1922 were renting boats to fishermen. They also operated a small store and dance hall. By the mid-1920s the Beaver Lake Amusement Park owned land on the southwest shore of the lake, but it is unknown whether there was an amusement park actually built there. If there was, it was gone by the early 1930s, but there seems to be no evidence that an amusement park was actually built.
In the early twentieth century, loggers cleared the area around Beaver Lake on the Sammamish Plateau. Settlers soon discovered the recreational possibilities for the lake. Resorts thrived on Beaver Lake from the 1930s through the 1950s. After 1960, development slowly transformed Beaver Lake into another picturesque Seattle suburb.
