No Boat Trailer Parking In 2022 At Bonney Lake's Allan Yorke Park

BONNEY LAKE —The city of Bonney Lake has announced that there will be no boat trailer parking at Allan Yorke Park during the 2022 boating season due to the construction of a ballfield.

Bonney Lake residents will have an opportunity to use the boat launch if they purchase a launch pass, the city said. However, the city said the boat launch will not be ready for a few weeks.

"On Jan. 11, 2022, the City Council voted to approve a contract to build a new recreational ballfield at Allan Yorke Park.," the city said in a statement. "The ballfield construction began immediately and has displaced the designated vehicle and watercraft trailer parking area with no alternate area currently available for this type of parking."

The city added: "A plan to have adequate watercraft trailer parking for the 2023 boating season has been identified."

According to the city, the boat launch at Allan Yorke Park, 7203 W Tapps Hwy E, will open and pass sales will resume in approximately four weeks. In the meantime, the city will be updating the signage in the park and modifying the launch to accommodate secure launching.

The city also reminds residents that during the 2022 season, tow vehicles and watercraft trailers that are parked in any of the Allan Yorke Park lots or in surrounding neighborhoods can be impounded.
