(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Garden of the Gods Park is closed for the remainder of Friday, Nov. 24 due to icy conditions, according to the City of Colorado Springs.
The City said roads are slick and icy from the storm that rolled in overnight on Thursday, prompting the park to announce the closure just before 2:30 p.m. Friday.
The Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center has also closed early due to winter weather. Icy conditions are currently present in parks citywide, and residents are advised to keep off park roads.
