NOTE: The SCRD is aware that people are continuing to use the closed bridges listed below. These bridges are not safe. Please obey the signage on site.
Please note that Whispering Firs Park will be closed from Thursday, August 6 through Saturday, August 8 while crews remove several hazardous trees.
A recent assessment by a certified arborist identified several standing dead trees and others with advanced decay near park trails. Removing these trees is necessary to help keep visitors safe.
The work is being carried out under the guidance of a certified arborist and a qualified biologist. Prior to the start of work, a nesting bird survey will be conducted to identify active nests and ensure appropriate protection measures are implemented.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete this important safety work. We look forward to welcoming everyone back once the work is completed.
Over the next month, park users can expect to see the completion of accessibility improvements along the Yellow Trail and the beginning of construction of the new Upper Waterfall Bridge.
Trail users can re-route along HWY 101 to trail access points north and south of the Vinebrook Bridge section of the trail.
The pedestrian bridge has been decommissioned and removed. Parks is currently in the permitting phase for having the access bridge replaced.
