The Boerne Parks and Recreation Department is locking the gates at Boerne Lake, closing it indefinitely.
Officials said in a Facebook posting, "While we do encourage walking, running, hiking, and biking the lake was encouraging people to gather and that is a concern for the safety and wellness of everyone in our community."
Park staff is available to answer questions over the phone, or you can contact the office during regular weekday business hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
