FROM COUNTY SPOKESMAN EDDY VANSTINE:
The Steuben County Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced that Kanakadea Park, located by the Almond Dam, will be closed for the remainder of the week and this weekend due to flooding and significant debris resulting from recent weather conditions.
DPW Commissioner Eric Rose reported that safety concerns prompted the temporary closure, as high water levels and debris have created hazardous conditions throughout the park.
“We appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure the park is safe for all visitors,” said Commissioner Rose.
The DPW is actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates as conditions improve.
