Park Safety

Take time to enjoy the parks all year round. Here are a few tips to make your visit more enjoyable:

Park hours are from 6 a.m. - dusk.
The use of alcohol in parks is prohibited by city ordinance and is strictly enforced.
Drive safely in the parks. Watch for children and wildlife crossing the park roadways. The speed limit is 15 mph and traffic congestion can occur.
Prevent theft by locking your vehicles. Lock valuables in the trunk or leave them at home. Do not leave your purse or wallet on or under your car seat.
Do not leave children unattended. Parks and playgrounds can be very busy.
Keep pets on a leash (no longer than 10 feet) and in your control at all times. (See off-leash pet areas).
Do not feed ducks, geese, squirrels and other small creatures. Doing so trains wildlife to rely on humans for support and to give up their natural food sources.
Large recreation equipment such as a dunk tank, moon walk/bounce house, miniature trains, etc. are not permitted in any Everett park.
Fireworks or other combustion consumer products are not to be used in parks. This includes audible devices, aerial devices, and material devices (such as powder/smoke bombs).
Glitter, confetti, rice, and birdseed are not allowed in parks.
