Lakegoers who want to visit Sammamish’s only park on the shores of Lake Sammamish will need a boat to get there for the next few months.

Officials have closed the land access to Sammamish Landing Park until February 2015 to allow for construction of new improvements, according to a statement released by Sammamish city officials.

During the closure, crews will build and install a new parking lot, a crosswalk across East Lake Sammamish Parkway, and new ramps between the parkway, the park and the East Lake Sammamish Trail corridor built to ADA specifications.

The park will remain open for visitors who can access the park by water. However, restrooms at the park will remain closed during construction.
