It’s August, and Seattle summer is chugging right along: Lots of sun, temperatures consistently in the mid- to upper-70s…this time of year is why we live here.
So, naturally, the city’s wading pools are all preparing to close for the season.
Our region of the Seattle Parks and Recreation map (the Northeast) has two wading pools and two swimming beaches open during the summer. Here are their remaining days of use:
- Dahl Playfield Wading Pool (7700 25th Ave NE): open August 14-16, noon – 7 PM
- Magnuson Park Wading Pool (7400 Sand Point Way NE): open daily from noon – 6:30 PM through August 26
- Magnuson Park Summer Beach (7400 Sand Point Way NE): open through August 26
- Matthews Beach Park Summer Beach (9500 51st Ave NE): open through September 3
At this time, NE Seattle does not have any of the unstaffed sprayparks, which tend to stay open later in the season. However, Sarah (raintea on twitter) would like us to mention the brand new spraypark at Northacres Park (12718 1st Ave NE). It’s open daily from 11 AM – 8 PM through September 3. It is technically in Seattle Parks and Recreation’s NW geographic area, but when you and the kids are too hot, who cares.
