Update July 23, 2025
The following is information about the installation of a new inclusive playground at Allan Yorke Park near ballfield 5.
Background:
The City of Bonney Lake identified space in the Allan Yorke Park Ballfield 5 Master Plan for a new playground. The city received a grant in 2018 to purchase playground equipment. Installation of the new playground was scheduled to take place following the completion of Ballfield 5 in 2023. However, with significant rising costs, city staff had to explore options to secure additional funding. With the support of Rep. Stokesbary and Rep. Robertson, the city was successfully awarded the remaining funds needed to install the playground from the State legislature in the 2024-2025 budget.
Status:
As of July 23, the installation of the playground equipment is underway. Although the play equipment will be installed quickly, the tiles are expected to arrive in late July or early August. For safety and warranty reasons, we can't open the park until all the work is completed - which is anticipated for mid- to late-July.
Next Update:
A status update will be posted to this webpage the week of August 4, 2025.
Parking:
Seasonal paid parking is in effect the Friday of Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. For specifics, visit www.cobl.us/parking.
