City closes Burcham, Riverfront parks
High water on the Kansas River led the city to close Burcham and Riverfront parks at 6 p.m. Monday.
The river is running high after the weekend’s rain. The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for the Kansas River at Lecompton, where the river was expected to reach flood stage by 1 a.m. today.
The city of Lawrence will monitor the river level and adjust park hours further as necessary in the coming days.
