Lifeguards done for the season at Coulon, Kennydale beaches

A sign that summer has come and gone are the city's empty Lake Washington beaches and no activity at the Henry Moses Aquatic Center at the Renton Community Center.

A sign that summer has come and gone are the city’s empty Lake Washington beaches and no activity at the Henry Moses Aquatic Center at the Renton Community Center.

The water park and the beaches at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park and Kennydale Beach Park are now closed for the season, following the Labor Day weekend.

The beaches and the aquatic center will reopen next June.

The beaches are no longer staffed by lifeguards and the City of Renton discourages any swimming there beyond the scheduled season.

Up next for the Henry Moses Aquatic Center is maintenance. A flurry of cleaning of pools, chairs and other equipment will commence now that the swim season is over. Lifeguard towers are taken down for the season.

City staff reports that it was an average summer season in terms of park attendance.
