As King County moves into phase 2 of Washington’s Safe Start Recovery Plan, the City of Snoqualmie has begun the process of re-opening some park amenities and services.
All recreation programs will need to meet or exceed the latest applicable COVID safety guidelines for King County; therefore, there are some changes in operations.
The parks, facilities, and programs will be operated in a way that ensures the health and safety of the community and staff. Those activities where physical distancing is not practical remain closed currently.
It is important that everyone recreates responsibly, staying home when sick, practicing physical distancing always when in public, and washing hands often. Please recreate responsibly and follow the latest public health guidelines while exploring our local green spaces. The public’s patience is appreciated during this transition period.
Open Facilities & Programs
In all cases, please limit outdoor activities to family outings or groups of 5 or less people outside of your immediate household and maintain 6 feet of physical distancing.
- PARKS and TRAILS where physical distancing can be maintained are OPEN. We encourage you to limit travel and visit parks close by your home.
