Allan Yorke Park Boat Launch:

On January 11, 2022, the City Council voted to approve a contract to build a new recreational ballfield at Allan Yorke Park. 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.

Council has decided that there will be no boat trailer parking during the 2022 boating season. A plan to have adequate watercraft trailer parking for the 2023 boating season has been identified.

The boat launch will be open to Bonney Lake residents who purchase a launch pass and who do not need to park their tow vehicle and watercraft trailer on site. The daily kiosk located at the boat launch will not be available this year. Tow vehicles and watercraft trailers that are parked in any of the Allan Yorke Park lots or in surrounding neighborhoods are subject to having the tow vehicle and watercraft trailer impounded.

The boat launch will open for City residents and the purchasing of boat launch passes for City residents will begin on May 16, 2022.

If you would like to subscribe for notices of when the Allan Yorke Park Boat Launch may be closed, reopened, or if hours/days change for using the boat launch please sign up for the subscription on our website home page under subscriptions or click this link: Subscription Sign Ups

The radar sign is a tool designed to enhance our efforts at getting the motoring public to drive within the posted speed limits. In the past, the department’s efforts have generally been focused on stopping violators and issuing infractions. This function was handled by commissioned officers. Unfortunately the number of infractions issued and the amount of accidents with speed as a contributing factor continually rise.

We are attempting to help educate drivers by making them aware of just how fast they are actually going. Most people need only a subtle reminder to stay within the posted speed limits. The radar sign serves as a proactive warning device, posting the driver’s speed in large, easy to read numbers. Most drivers who are speeding recognize their error and slow down. Those drivers who are speeding and choose to disregard the radar trailer are increasing the possibility of meeting one of our officers.

The goal of the Radar Sign Program is to make citizens more aware of speed limits in Bonney Lake and to enhance the safety of our roadways in general. CSOs (Community Service Officers) deploy the radar trailer in locations where speeding is a problem and/or safety is a concern such as in school zones. They then retrieve the radar trailer and provide the Program Coordinator with the SD card which stores the study’s data.

The radar sign is a mobile radar unit, similar in function to the hand held units of our officers, with a large digital sign that posts the driver’s speed.
