Chambers Creek Regional Park after the U.S. Open

The Playground by the Sound at Chambers Creek Regional Park will reopen to the public on Friday, July 3. The popular playground has been closed since May 26, 2015, in preparation for the U.S. Open which took place during the week of June 15-21.
 
The park’s Grandview Trail, East Slope Trail and North Meadow restroom all reopened very shortly after the championship golf event, as did the Chambers Bay Golf Course, Chambers Bay Grill and Pierce County’s Environmental Services Building.
 
The Environmental Services Building’s recreational fields, the North Meadow parking lot and the Central Meadow parking lot and restrooms will all remain closed until August, as will the Soundview Trail and Bridge to the Beach.
