- Alki Beach and Golden Gardens will close an hour earlier this summer, according to the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department.
A Memorial Day weekend on Alki Beach is filled with people soaking in the sun.
“I come down often probably once or twice a month and come down for a walk with friends and enjoy the atmosphere,” said Kira Smith. “Every time I come here i have no safety concerns at all. It's just a great day at the beach and just hanging out and vibing."
But everyone’s time on the beach is being cut a bit shorter.
The parks are currently open from 4 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. through Sept. 3. The parks will return to their normal closing time of 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 4.

Wow. Seattle sucks now. back in high school we used to hang out at alki pretty late..like 12..1am..but i guess times have changed in the past 20 years
Changed in the last 4 years…defunded the police, short about 40% since pre-GF
I’d have to do some serious digging into it but I do believe the city boundaries therefore the park boundaries actually end at the high tide mark.
Congrats Seattle, you're almost to Portland status.
Whatever happened to closing at dusk? Every public park here and especially the water front closes at dusk just north of Seattle. 11 pm I don't care what others think is late.
Who is going to the beach at 4am?
Shell hunters
diggers ruin everything
Shutting down access instead of doing more patrols and actually doing police work… what a joke
Crap.
They just set up a patrol, looking for you.
Staffing issues, SPD barely has enough officers to do routine patrol. Recruiting has been hard.
@@andre8272 cop budgets have INCREASED across the country . Seattle cops budget increased $20 million, now at $375 million.
Question is, what's that buying you?
so which is it... you wanta defund... or cops to do their jobs. Like keep up patrol. Just asking....?
I guess you gotta vote to REfund the police now!
Lady is delusional. She’s not concerned smh
Ok I thought the closure would be like around 8:00PM but 10:30PM is reasonable.
We know who owns the "public" parks regardless of the lil dictators trying to restrict peoples riggts. ignore and continue on.
...can't have nice things ? This is how great places to live gradually turn bad. I call it 'hardening of the architecture' and I've been watching this social disease get worse since sixth grade, when my school wrapped the entrances with chain link fence, for safety. Turning a classic building into a shoddy prison. A nice area into a slum. That beach is what makes the area cool. Give that time back, and ask why it ever closes, at all. Why do parks close at night? Is it because someones grandma thought, "Of course" 100 years ago ?
NO not holding criminals accountable is how we got into this mess you all need to understand this!
Good reminder to stock up on bullets this weekend (beach shootouts). Some gun stores will be closed in honor of those killed by guns.
No dipshit, criminals don’t buy guns or ammo at guns stores.
Some people go there to see nature, others go there to see people. I hate it when those two conflict.
I thought the problem was too much police and we needed police free zones. Pfft. Y’all are deceived
she needs new friends if hers have bullet holes in their house.... they sound a little wild
Closing the beach is probably the best thing to do for now to keep it safer.
We need to fund the police
🤷♂️
Here we go nwo
Who wants to go to the beach when it's swarming with military people? No, you can't call them police anymore.
Not all police are bad
Who wants to go to the beach when it’s swarming with the criminally entitled of the Democrat party?? No you can’t call them humans anymore.
