As a reminder, all Seattle beaches are also closed to gatherings, and Rattlesnake Lake Recreation Area and Rattlesnake Ledge Trail are closed.
Seattle Parks and Recreation continues to ask community members to:
- Use social distancing: the most effective tool we have to slow the spread of COVID-19 is social distancing. We are asking people to abide by social distancing guidelines in Seattle Parks.
- Visit parks closer to home, and avoid popular parks: If you have to get in the car, it’s too far. Help keep down crowds by visiting parks closer to home or taking a walk in your neighborhood.
- Visit larger parks during early morning hours: Many parks open at 4:30am or 6am. Visiting them early in the morning will help keep crowds down throughout the day.
- Do not access off limits equipment or areas: Seattle and King County have closed all play areas and other high touch areas such as picnic shelters, tables, and outdoor exercise equipment.
- Do not congregate in parks: Do not gather. Do not BBQ. Do not play soccer or softball with those outside of your household. Do not play basketball with those outside of your household.
- Six feet for activities: Hiking, biking, walking are all great ways to enjoy parks right now, just remember to give a wide berth to your fellow residents.
