Seattle Parks and Recreation will close Golden Gardens Drive just east of Seaview Avenue Northwest for about two weeks starting next Monday, March 24, so that a damaged pipe may be repaired,.

There will be no vehicle access for the off-leash dog area, upper comfort station or parking lots east of the railroad track. All areas of the park will remain open via the park trail system for pedestrians.

The closure provides construction access for the installation of a pipe casing under the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad for the park water service. The existing water service pipe was damaged in 2005 and temporarily repaired on an emergency basis. This new casing provides a permanent repair up to railroad standards. Water service to Golden Gardens Park will not be interrupted. Construction equipment including a jacking pit will be placed in the park drive adjacent to the picnic area.

Vehicle access to the Golden Gardens Park Bathhouse will be maintained but visitors may experience temporary traffic revisions.
