  • Record of Determination for the Temporary Closure of East Potomac Park South of Buckeye Drive - National Mall and Memorial Parks (U.S. National Park Service)nps.gov· 2d

    The National Park Service is temporarily closing East Potomac Park south of Buckeye Drive, SW, including East Potomac Golf Course, Hains Point, and the seawall, effective at 9:00 pm on November 15, 2026, citing deteriorated facilities, seawall hazards, and the loss of supervision when National Links Trust ceases golf operations under a new lease covering only Rock Creek and Langston courses. The closure, issued under 36 C.F.R. § 1.5(a), remains in effect until modified or rescinded and may be lifted if planned remediation projects make safe access possible.
