Belfair State Park closed for emergency maintenance

Belfair State Park is closed for emergency repairs at the Herald's press time Wednesday with a reopening date uncertain, according to park officials.

A waterline leak has caused the shutdown, Washington State Parks Area Manager for South Sound Olyvia Buday told the Herald in an email.

"At this time, we are in the process of locating a substantial leak in our waterline system. We believe we have located the source and are hoping to get the park up and running quickly but do not have a timeframe for opening. This will be dependent on the availability of parts/manufacturing delays," Buday said.

The park closed on Dec. 22 and those with reservations have been sent an email with refund information, the park website states.
