# JERICHO LAKE PARK CLOSED FOR SUMMER #
It's a bittersweet announcement, but major park renovations at Jericho will force closure of the park for the rest of this summer. Once complete, it will feature TWO shelters, TWO boat launches (one ramp, and one canoe/kayak launch), a nature-based playground, a renovated 18-hole disc golf course and trail connections linking Orchard Road to the east and Stuart Sports Complex to the west. While we hate to close, these upgrades promise to make one of the District's most beloved parks even better!
