Windsor's Optimist Memorial Park temporarily closed

Optimist Memorial Park is closed temporarily because of wind damage.

The City of Windsor reports that trees in the park have significant damage because of the recent wind storm.

Extensive clean-up involving aerial equipment and large machinery is required.

Forestry crews began work on Wednesday and are expected to work through the weekend.

The park is closed for public safety because of unstable trees and the use of heavy equipment.

Public access to the park is expected to resume on March 23, 2026.
