Some Allegheny County parks close early

Portions of North, South and Boyce parks are closing early Saturday

Despite the record warm weather Saturday, three Allegheny County parks will close early due to “inclement weather.”

The ice rinks at both North and South parks, as well as the snow tubing and skiing areas at Boyce Park, will close at 7 p.m., according to the county.

The parks are scheduled to open for normal operations Sunday “weather and conditions permitting.”
