Bedrock Park in Oroville has been temporarily closed for maintenance and repairs, a chain link fence has been wrapped around the park blocking the public from accessing the park.
A fire that happened a couple of years back near the public bathroom in the park, damaged the irrigation system and the lighting, which officials say is why the park was dark at night and the grass was not being watered.
Officials hope to have the park reopened in the fall.
