Visitors should visit the park website while planning their visit to get the latest information on accessibility and available services.
National Park Service officials have determined that by using Federal Land and Recreation Enhancement funds to immediately bring back park maintenance crews to clean restrooms and remove trash will allow continued accessibility to the park for visitors while ensuring health and safety.
While the outdoor areas of the park will remain accessible, the parking area and most facilities will remain closed.
