Status and Details:
Allan Yorke Park is a 45 acre park located at the intersection of Bonney Lake Boulevard and West Tapps Highway at the south end of Lake Tapps. In 2015, an ad hoc committee consisting of representatives from City Council and Park Commission proposed improvements to the park to address demand for more facilities for youth in the city.
Bruce Dees & Associates, a landscape architecture firm that specializes in park design, was retained to develop a master plan for the park, addressing needs and concerns expressed by the entire community.
The Master Plan was presented in June 2016 (see documents below). The City Council approved design of Phase I improvements in February 2017 (Resolution 2557).
Design of the new athletic field and road frontage improvements is underway. Grants have been approved for construction of the new ballfield and playground.
