The Corps of Engineers had recently made a number of improvements and additions to the park. They spent the money and now it is only open 6 months of the year. Could someone please explain this to me?
Thanks,
Tim

The corp took the park away from the non profit group who was doing the improvements, last year. I guess it was being ran too efficiently!!!
They close from October to March now because they say there isn't enough people to make it worthwhile to have a gate attendant!!!
I argued about this with the Lewisville and Ft.Worth office for two months, but you can see it didn't help!!

I sure wish it was open all year.

I loved Westpark. I had my boat at King Brothers. I have moved the boat to Bedford/my garage. Does anyone have any suggestions on a lake nearby that I could fish?
Thanks,
Tim

Couldn't they just leave the gate open and have an honor box at the ramp?

It was a political thing...the Corps took the parks in Texas back when they found out that they were not going to close during the last government shutdown.
