flood closures!

The Mississippi River is receding quickly and we are able to resume services slowly over the next two weeks.  
The following park areas are closed or have very limited access; based on forecast, access will reopen towards the end of July, dependent on how quickly water recedes and cleaning can commence:
⚠️ The River’s Edge will reopen Tuesday, July 16.
⛔️ Credit Island Nature Preserve and Park, the Riverfront Recreational Walk, and the Trail between Credit Island and River Heritage Park will remain closed until the river recedes to a point where the areas can be cleaned and reopened for use. 
⛔️ Centennial Spray Park will remain closed until the river recedes to a point where the areas can be cleaned and reopened for use. 
⚠️ Centennial and LeClaire Parks are at various levels of coverage 
⛔️ Centennial Skate Park and Centennial Dog Park will remain closed until the river recedes to a point where the areas can be cleaned and reopened for use.
