I agree, I travel from Stratford to visit some mornings around 7am and often times theres no entrance open at all....I dont understand why there is so much inconsistency.

Just a guess. Maybe the Park employees were given the weekend off,no-one to open or shut the gates, no-one to tend to the garbage that picknickers leave,the open fire/barbecuing is pretty dangerous in this weather. Fires while a skeleton crew is working the firehouses.
It is a nice place for picnics, and it's nice to see folks having them.Lighthouse Park is lovely also..

They were paid to open the first one. Don't think thats it. Besides, this wasn't just one occurrence - its been happening a lot lately.

Not all have that physical ability to hike to the top...which is an all uphill walk.

Can we also get some arrows painted at the top where cars park please? There are still some cars that go the wrong way when they leave....or another sign, please.

This was in 2011, so I'm closing it. If this is still a frustration, please open a new issue under "parks request." I'm not sure I understand what was described with the "one gate," so if that is still a problem, please give a further description.
