The Portland District has temporarily closed Philippi Park due to budget shortfalls, which impact all operations, including sufficient ranger staff to manage and oversee visitors, safety and law enforcement, and sufficient maintenance staff to mow and maintain the park and infrastructure. The Corps will announce an application process and timeline for individuals or organizations interested in submitting lease proposals for managing the park once the process has been finalized.
