Thanks to a donation by its partner,\u00a0Pacific Historic Parks, the visitor center and bookstore at the American Memorial Park will return to daily operations, but remain on the current schedule of 9:30am to 4pm.<\/p>\n
At the same time, park roads, walking paths, memorials, and tennis courts at the AMP will remain accessible to visitors, but emergency services will be limited.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased to be able to open the visitor center every day, although most of our other services are extremely limited,\u201d said AMP supt. Barbara Alberti. \u201cI want to thank our island community for their patience, as we are unable to maintain our park sites to our usual standards. <\/p>\n
\u201cMost importantly, we thank everyone enjoying the beach, pavilion, tennis courts, and ballfields for taking their trash home with them after using the park. We hope everyone will show respect for our island and its beautiful environment. Remember, \u2018Pack It In, Pack It Out\u2019 means take home everything you bring in to the park and\u00a0Leave no Trace!\u201d<\/p>\n
