What time is the park open to the public and what time does it actually close? I know it says 9-5 but I’ve driven past around 8:30 and have seen the gates open.

Bowdoin is currently open from 8:00am until 9:00pm

I believe it's open until 8

It changes throughout the year. There is a sign posted at the entrance to the park.

Generally daylight hours. They have a Bald Eagle nest that attracts many photographers, and two lakes that attract those that love wildlife and artists. Love this park and I don't think you'll be disappointed!
