The City of Bonney Lake introduced seasonal paid parking at Allan Yorke Park on July 10, 2024.
Why did the city introduce paid parking?
Allan Yorke Park is the city’s largest, most visited park. With many of those visiting the park coming from outside of Bonney Lake, the city is adding paid parking to assist with crowd control and ensure all users contribute to the maintenance and capital costs of the park and its services. The revenue generated from the paid parking is invested back into Bonney Lake parks through the Parks Capital Improvement Program.
What are the dates and times of seasonal paid parking?
Seasonal paid parking is in effect May 1 through October 1 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 9:30 p.m.
How much is paid parking?
$4 for four hours or $10 per day, plus fees and taxes.
Do I have to pay for parking during city-sponsored events? No, parking during city-sponsored events is free starting 30 minutes prior to the event start time. These events include: Kids Club, Tunes at Tapps, National Night Out, Bonney Lake Days, and Labor of Love Triathlon.
