Update May 6, 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:
On May 6, installation of the playground equipment is underway. Although the play equipment will be installed quickly, the tiles are expected to take 10-12 weeks to arrive. 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 May 12.
