Ward Lake Park

The distinguishing proof and buy of an open swimming shoreline has been a need for Olympia since the Capitol Lake Park swimming shoreline was shut in 1985. This conclusion came about because of water quality issues that couldn't be overseen inside State Health Code measures. the City of Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation Department bought a 10-section of land divide on Ward Lake, in Olympia 's Southeast Urban Growth Area.

Right now, there is no crisp water civil swim access in Olympia and this property may well have been the last accessible site sufficiently expansive for a group new water swim area. The stop is undeveloped. There is a little stopping zone and an upland field. Community is allowed to the upland part of the site as it were. There is no free to the forested slope or shoreline. Swimming is denied.
