During the boating season, the boat launch requires payment of an annual Resident Parking Pass (for residents only).
The daily kiosk located at the boat launch will not be available this year.
The city may temporarily close the boat launch facility without advance notice. No refunds will be given for the temporary or permanent closure of the boat launch facility.
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.
