Update August 14, 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 August 14, the tiles arrived and the playground is anticipated to be completed in the next couple weeks. For safety and warranty reasons, we can't open the park until all the work is completed.
Grand Opening Celebration
Mark your calendar! Join us to celebrate the completion of the playground on Saturday, September 6 at 10 a.m. Ribbon cutting, refreshments and FUN!
Next Update:
A status update will be posted to this webpage once the playground is officially open.
