Camp Jordan Closed until Monday

Camp Jordan Park will remain closed due to flooding until 8 a.m. on Monday December 28.

East Ridge Parks and Recreation Director, Stump Martin, said it is imperative that  the park gates remain closed today due to safety concerns.

“Please stay out of the park and away from dangerous high water,” Martin said.

According to Titan Light Shows executive Dodd King, The Christmas Nights of Lights 1.5-mile, drive-thru show is expected to open back up on Monday evening at dark and continue nightly until January 2.  

In addition, Camp Jordan Indoor Soccer games are expected to resume from the Holiday break as scheduled on Monday December 28.

Mr. King and his family spent last night at the park. He said the creeks crested at Camp Jordan Park around 3 a.m. Sunday and the water is now going down at a steady rate.

“Unfortunately, the waterways that help make Camp Jordan so beautiful, are the same ones that climb out of the banks and haunt  us from time to time,” Martin said. “Our city leaders and crews are well versed in getting things back to almost normal.”
