NOTICE! 🚧 Riverfront Trail Closure

Please be advised that the Riverfront Trail will be closed at the west end of the loop from Wednesday, August 26, 2026, through Friday, August 28, 2026, while crews make necessary repairs to the bridge.

The concrete around the bridge has been washed out, and repairs are needed to ensure the area is safe for trail users.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to get the trail back in safe, usable condition. Please use caution and do not enter the closed area while repairs are underway.

Thank you for your cooperation! 🚧

🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🦊🐺

We’re still looking for our fox and coyote decoys that have gone missing from Lions Lake. We know there has been a lot happening around the park lately, but we want to clarify that the decoys went missing BEFORE the fair.

These decoys serve an important purpose — they help deter geese from gathering at Lions Lake and damaging the park. 🪿🌳

If you have them, please return them! If you know where they are or have any information that could help us locate them, please reach out to Washington Parks & Recreation.

We truly don’t care who took them or why. We just want our fox and coyote back where they belong! No questions asked. ❤️

Help us get our wildlife guardians back to work! 🦊🐺🌳

If you have any information, please contact Washington Parks & Recreation.
