The park is also home to a pavilion and the Lodge at Beaver Lake, which has traditional Native American totem poles and story poles carved by Tsimshian artist David A. Boxley, and hosts weddings, receptions, and dinners.
In October, the park is host to the annual "Nightmare at Beaver Lake," a huge and elaborate haunted house-type attraction, which benefits charitable projects sponsored by the local Sammamish Rotary which is part of Rotary International Rotary Club.
The park has also hosted the Annual Beaver Lake Triathlon since 1994.
The park used to be owned and maintained by King County, but the park was transferred, effective January 1, 2003, to the City of Sammamish due to county budget shortfalls caused by state tax revolt.
