Dockton Dock Closure Aug 1- Sept 30
VOICE OF VASHON REPORTS THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE
from King County Parks:
From August 1 through September 30, 2025, Dockton Park Marina will undergo Phase 2 of its improvement project.
Please Note: Moorage closes August 1; full dock closure begins August 11
Construction activities will include:
- Replacing the breakwater
- Replacing all finger piers
- Upgrading the boat ramp dock
- Replacing the floating dock at Dockton Moorage
What to Expect During Construction
To complete this work safely, the entire dock area—including the boat ramp and floating dock—will be closed.
The playground and picnic area will remain open throughout the project, but parking may be reduced due to construction activities.
Construction Timeline
This work must be completed during a short window set by federal and state permits to protect local endangered species.
Unfortunately, that window overlaps with peak boating season. Delaying the project would push it to the same time next year and increase the risk of longer unplanned closures due to worsening conditions of the breakwater and dock structures.
We know this impacts summer plans and appreciate your patience as we improve safety and accessibility for years to come.
