The facility is currently closed due to structural repairs, though community restoration efforts are underway. Before visiting, check the current status of operations as plans for reopening may change seasonally or based on progress.
Since 2013, local residents have organized regular cleanup efforts and created a photographic record showing the site's changes over time. This ongoing commitment reflects how much the location means to the community, even as it remains temporarily closed.
