Parking Lots At Major Parks Closed Friday, April 10

Parking lots at all major Mercer Island parks were closed on the evening of April 10 to assist in facilitating social distancing in conjunction with the Governor’s order to Stay Home - Stay Healthy. However, the City recognizes a need for parking access for those who hold a disabled parking placard, and seniors with limited mobility. The following adjustments have been made at the locations listed below to better accommodate the needs of our senior adult and disabled community:

Luther Burbank Park (South Lot) - Disabled Parking Available

• Disabled parking spaces will be available during regular park hours for patrons with government-issued handicap placards or license plates.

Mercerdale Park (Thrift Shop Lot) – Disabled and “Senior-Only” Parking Available

• Disabled parking spaces will be available during regular park hours for patrons with government-issued handicap placards or license plates.
• Senior adult only parking will be available to our senior population throughout the regular park hours. Note: A placard is not required

Mercerdale Park – New Senior Hours; Monday - Friday, 7:00am-10:00am

• For older adults and people with serious underlying medical conditions who might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
• Please respect these hours to safely accommodate our senior adult park users.

Staff are evaluating parks activities daily and operations will be modified if problems arise.

Please call (206) 275-7626 with questions.
