Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department recommends people do not swim or wade within the enclosed swim dock area at Allan Yorke Park on Lake Tapps. High levels of bacteria found in the water show an increased risk of gastrointestinal illness.

The Health Department has posted advisory signs at Allan Yorke Park and the City of Bonney Lake has added yellow caution tape to the area. The Health Department will continue to monitor bacteria levels at this location. When bacteria levels no longer show increased risks to public health, we will remove the signs.
