awesome park volunteers

From left to right: Kirby, Bruce, ?, Tro, ?, Shay, ?, ?. Thanks for your dedication to this park!

The park is maintained and improved by a volunteer diver Park Stewards group led by Bruce Higgins. Major contributors have varied over time and all contributions are valued. Since 1991, Bruce has committed to diving every Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 AM to support the park. The stewards support the City of Edmonds and dive community’s values: safety, security, maintenance, and improvements. Safety includes buoys, underwater trails (2.5 miles of rope and block guides), and signage to help divers navigate. Buoys are placed to help keep boats out of the park and define the boundaries. Security efforts include invasive species management including Didemnum and Ciona tunicates. Maintenance efforts encompass the repair and upkeep of park features for divers and marine life diversity. Improvements include developing rockfish habitat and features to attract divers toward the north side of the park.

Interested in pitching in? The Park Stewards meet every Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 AM for project dives. Show up with sturdy gloves ready to dive.
