Magnuson Swimming Beach Update

The Magnuson lifeguarded beach will be open in the summer of 2009 even as a construction project is under way just south of the beach. The project includes the replacement of the comfort station and summer beach office. The construction area is fenced to enclose the footprint of the old building that was demolished earlier this year. If you have questions about the construction, please call Kelly Davidson at 684-0998.

Magnuson Beach will operate from Saturday, June 27 through Sunday, August 23, 2009. Lifeguards will be on duty, weather permitting:

  • Weekdays from noon to 7 p.m.
  • Weekends from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The lifeguarded area will shift to the north end of the beach to keep swimming and sunbathing farther from the construction area.
The wading pool will not operate because a federally required drain modification cannot be completed before summer. The picnic shelter will be available for drop-in use, but not for reservation.



ABOUT THE PARK

Welcome to Warren G. Magnuson Park!
Discover a great urban park for the 21st century! Warren G. Magnuson Park sits on a splendid mile-long stretch of Lake Washington’s shoreline in northeastern Seattle. At 350 acres, it is Seattle’s second largest park.

This former Navy facility is rapidly becoming home to a unique combination of features and activities for you to enjoy: recreation and leisure—boating, swimming, walks, kite flying, to name a few; sports fields; natural areas; and a community campus. In addition, you can take part in shaping the new and expanded park features now in the planning process.
