UPDATE: If you like to spend time in Phipps Park, you may have to wait a while before you can visit again.

The Billings Parks and Recreation Department closed the park after a rockslide Wednesday afternoon. Parks and Rec Superintendent John Thompson said they're not sure what caused the slide.

Thompson was at the park Thursday examining the area. He said they found a soft spot where more rock could fall. He said they will call a geologist to check out the area and will probably use a truck to level it out.

At this point, Thompson said they're not sure how long it will take before the park reopens.

"We don't want people to go in that area at all because it's not safe, there's a lot of loose rock up there and so forth," Thompson said. "So as far as when we can reopen depends on when we can get in and get some of that cleaned up and loose rock taken care of to make sure that it's safe for the public."

The Billings Parks and Recreation Department is investigating a rockslide that happened Wednesday afternoon.

Billings Parks and Recreation Director Mike Whitaker said they have closed the park until they can determine if it is safe for people to be in the park.

Kate Brocato witnessed the rockslide and said a large portion of rock just separated from the rimrock. She sent us a photo of the aftermath of the rockslide.

Whitaker says no one was injured in the rockslide. He said if it appears that all the loose rocks have fallen, they will reopen the park. If not, they will have to bring in an expert to assess the rocks.
