The northeast section (pictured above) will be closing on August 12th. We’d seen fences with scrim go up and we weren’t sure as to whether this was simply landscaping work, or something more.

The Family Play Zone will remain open during the construction, with the entrance to the playground shifted over to the east side near the back entrance to Mouse Gear.
