Parking costs more than Don Morse
The City of Chelan publishes a separate Lakeside Park price schedule: $15 up to two hours, $30 for two to six hours, and $40 for six to twelve hours. Do not apply Don Morse prices here.
Hours come from the general park rules
The Lakeside Park page does not state its own hours. The City of Chelan's general park rules give 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. unless otherwise stated, so that is the broader rule that applies here; the 8:00 a.m. opening belongs to Don Morse.
Lifeguard coverage is not published
The official facility pages document protected swim areas but do not state a current lifeguard schedule. This listing leaves the field unknown.
