Playground indefinitely shuts down after 2 incidents of Elk attacks on children

Less than a week after an 8-year-old girl was attacked while riding her bike, a 4-year-old boy playing on the nearby playground was stomped by an adult elk. Following these incidents, the playground has been permanently closed and sections of the nature trail were shut down. No serious injuries were reported, with the elk’s behaviours determined to be instinctual protection of their calves.
