Ready for Seafair? Groveland Beach Park is a popular spot for Islanders and neighbors alike to gather for the festivities, however crowd sizes have grown to exceed safe limits. Beginning this year, Groveland Beach will now have an established maximum capacity of 500 patrons, filled on a first-come-first-serve basis. This change is necessary to ensure the safety of park patrons and allow for adequate emergency response capabilities for Police, Fire, and EMS providers.
From Friday, August 4, through Sunday, August 6, access to the park will be limited to park hours (6:00am - 10:00pm) with Parks, Recreation, and Police staff on-site to manage access. Patrons are not permitted to leave items overnight in the park, and once the park is at capacity, additional visitors will not be allowed to enter.
Signage will be placed at the top of Deerford Road and SE 60th Street along West Mercer Way informing when the park has reached capacity. Parking in the Groveland Neighborhood and West Mercer Way will continue to be extremely limited.
