Updates

(April 13, 2026) -- The City Council received a presentation on the 2027 project to repair and improve Marina Park dock and shoreline.  Feedback was provided to keep beach access open to the public through the summer. The memo and presentation are linked on this website.

While uncertain, it's possible a large barge will be utilized and parked at Marina Park during construction. 

The boat launch will remain open throughout it's typical schedule and construction is not expected to impact boat launch users.  

(January 9, 2026) -- The City of Kirkland is planning in summer 2027 to begin construction on the Marina Park Dock and Shoreline Improvements.
