Just wanted to make sure you know about this closure. I reviewed that plans for this project with the park rangers and staff over a year ago. This is going to be a MAJOR PROJECT, with work in all parts of the park, beach, upper picnic area/ group camp and the entire campground. Today the small parking lot off of Hoyt Rd on the south side was closed as well. Adele Freeland, Federal Way WA, maamfree at comcast.net

>From staff reports:

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission announced that Dash Point State Park will close for about eight months, beginning Sept. 7, to complete construction of a new sewer system.

The park is scheduled to reopen in May 2011. The park, located on Dash Point Road in Federal Way, has experienced temporary closures due to sewer system failures, according to the commission. The existing sewer consists of a combination of septic tanks, pump stations, force mains and septic drain fields that periodically fail, causing temporary closures. The sewer system will be rebuilt with $3.4 million from the 2009-2011 capitol budget, according to the commission
