Teague Park Closing Time to Change

LONGVIEW – For many years, Longview’s Teague Park has been open from 6:00am till 11:00pm. But, that is about to change. Longview’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board has approved closing Teague Park daily at sunset. Opening hours will remain unchanged. The change in times will take effect once signs are posted at the park’s entrances on American Legion Boulevard. That could be as early as next week. The Longview News Journal reports A local Veterans Recognition Foundation requested closing Teague Park after dark to limit crime and vagrancy. The group had also suggested adding a fence and a gate around the park. That suggestion was rejected.
