Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre will close until further notice beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, Denver Parks and Recreation announced Friday afternoon .
The amphitheatre has been closed for concerts since March 16. It closed to all visitors starting March 24, initially planning to reopen on April 10 until the city’s announcement Friday. The cancellation of the traditional Easter sunrise services was announced last month, but the park has remained open.
People who go to the park anyway are subject to a fine of up to $999, according to a posted sign. On Friday afternoon, park personnel were seen asking people who had bypassed “closed” signs and went into the amphitheatre to leave.
Roads and trails in the park are popular for runners, hikers, cyclists and tourists.
This is a breaking story. Check back for updates.
