“The unfortunate reality is that COVID-19 continues to be present in our area,” says Jeremy Sweat, Superintendent, Gateway Arch National Park. “We want to stay open and continue to provide a high-quality experience for our visitors while keeping in mind the health and safety of them and our staff. We are continuing to work with our park partners in monitoring this ongoing situation.”
As conditions are subject to change, visitors should check the park’s website and social media channels for details on operations before they visit. Other tips to recreate responsibly are available on www.NPS.gov. Park rangers are on duty to provide information, protect visitors and park resources, and uphold this requirement.
