A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from closing East Potomac Park in Washington, D.C., to the public while a legal challenge over plans to redevelop its golf course continues.

Axar.az reports, citing NBC News, that US District Judge Ana Reyes ruled that the park, including its golf course and surrounding walking and cycling paths, must remain accessible to the public during the proceedings.

The administration had planned to close the area for renovation work, citing safety concerns, including repairs to a damaged seawall. However, Reyes said the closure would cause irreparable harm to members of the public who regularly use the park.

The ruling does not require the administration to keep golf facilities operating but prevents it from using the suspension of golf operations as grounds to bar public access.
