Because of damage to the Magnuson Park Wading Pool caused by an illegal fire last spring, the wading pool will remain closed for the 2016 summer season.
There is damage to the concrete and the sump/drain cover. While Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) has identified replacement products, the process of getting the necessary work permits will take about six weeks, which is when this summer offering would normally end (August 28). Parks will complete the necessary work in the off-season.
SPR regrets the closure, and thanks the public for their patience. The nearest operating wading pools are:
