Construction of the boat ramp and river walk project begins October 7 and will continue through April
Closure and Impacts
The closure of the entire park, including the boat ramp along the Colorado River, will remain in effect through April 2020.
During the closure, pedestrians and cyclists will not be able to enter the park from the Rio Grande Trail pedestrian bridge and will be redirected to 6th Street. Vehicles will not be able to enter the park from Devereux Road. River users should plan accordingly for the closure and take out and/or put in at other ramp locations in the area.
