Update April 2, 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 April 1, 2025, we are through the funding contracting process.
Next Steps:
The city is in the process of receiving an updated quote from the playground installer. Once the quote is received the contract will be presented to the City Council for review. It is anticipated that City Council will vote on the contract with the playground installer in April or May.
Next Update:
A status update will be posted to this webpage the week of April 7.
