Due to poor air quality caused by smoke from regional wildfires, the city of Kirkland has canceled or postponed all outdoor recreation activities for Aug. 21 and Aug. 22.

The Peter Kirk Pool is closed, and no lifeguards will be on duty at Waverly Beach or Juanita Beach.

Houghton Beach is currently closed to swimming due to unsafe water conditions. Indoor recreation programs will continue to run on schedule.

Decisions about city of Kirkland outdoor recreation activities will be made on a daily basis depending on air quality conditions. If outdoor activities are canceled, the city will post information about the closure to the city’s website, Facebook page and Twitter account.
