Starting Wednesday night, the road up Lookout Mountain in Colorado’s foothills will be closed overnight to protect the area. Residents have noticed increased crowds, vandalism, trash, and even gunshots in the park. Concerns about safety, especially with hearing gunshots late at night, prompted officials to take action. Jeffco Open Space and Denver Parks & Recreation conducted analyses showing high park activity after hours. Beginning with closures from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m., measures will help mitigate issues like littering, vandalism, firearms, and fire risks. Regular patrols will be implemented to enforce park closures and prevent problems from spreading downhill. Residents and park users like Keith support the closures to ensure the park remains clean and available for everyone to enjoy responsibly.picheightpsi
