The Wilderness Park, now to be known as the Arcadia Wilderness Preserve, will be open to the general public on weekdays and to non-profit organizations and small groups that have reservations on weekends.
The City Council has temporarily closed Wilderness Park on weekends (at least until September 7) because of overcrowding. About 200-300 visitors use the park each weekend, although it has a capacity for 100 people and 50 parking spaces.
