A free summer beach shuttle will return to Discovery Park beginning Saturday, June 20, providing transportation between the park’s beach parking lots through early September.
Seattle Parks and Recreation says the shuttle will operate on Saturdays through Sept. 5 from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The shuttle will loop between the East, North and South Beach parking lots, arriving at each stop about every 30 minutes. The final departure from the beach is scheduled for 5:15 p.m.
People, service animals and strollers are allowed on the shuttle. Pets, coolers, surfboards, paddleboards and other large items are not permitted.
Seattle Parks and Recreation notes that the Discovery Park Visitor Center remains closed because of flood damage. From June 18 through Sept. 6, an information booth will be available on-site Thursdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., depending on staff availability. The booth will not be open on June 19, but it will operate on July 4.
The beach shuttle is free to use, and donations are accepted to help support the service.
