park closure

Green space lockout

Park closure is the temporary or permanent shutting down of a park to visitors.

Closures happen for various reasons—dangerous conditions, maintenance, wildlife protection, or budget constraints.

Government shutdowns often trigger park closures at national parks: The park closure left thousands of tourists stranded at the gates.

A closure may affect an entire park or specific areas within it.
