Fort Richardson State Park

Fort Richardson State Park will be closing its overnight facilities for at least nine months beginning Sept. 3. 

Park Superintendent Robert Frie said the park’s five camp sites in the equestrian area, the 10 tent-only sites at the north park and the Lost Battalion Dining Hall will remain open and operable during the shutdown, but the remaining 55 camp sites will be unavailable while repairs and upgrades are made to the park’s water system.
