ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The Secret Service recently requested the closure of a local park in Northern Virginia near the home of Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance.
Initially, nearby residents were frustrated. However, restrictions on the park have now started to ease.
Judy Lowe Park in Alexandria, Virginia, was shut down by the Secret Service due to its proximity to Vance’s residence.
While the park is reopening, its availability is now determined on a day-to-day basis. Residents of the Del Ray neighborhood must check the park’s status online daily or consult the sign posted near the entrance.
The Secret Service continues to patrol the area around the clock.
A spokesperson for the agency told FOX 5, “Out of concern for operational security, the U.S. Secret Service does not discuss the means or methods used for our protective operations.”
While the increased security measures have altered the atmosphere of the neighborhood, most residents appear to understand the necessity for the occasional park closures.
When Judy Lowe Park is open, access is limited to Commonwealth Avenue, and no on-street parking is permitted on East Del Ray Avenue.

A skydiver crashed into the Lane Stadium scoreboard before Virginia Tech’s spring football game Saturday.
Virginia Tech officials said on X that the skydiver “was safely secured and is currently stable” following rescue efforts. The incident caused a delay in the start of the spring game.
“Thankful for game days with Hokie Nation and for the Blacksburg and Virginia Tech first responders whose quick actions safely returned today’s parachuter to the ground without injury,” the university said.
The name of the skydiver wasn’t released.
“Our primary focus remains on their well-being,” Virginia Tech officials said in a statement. “We extend our sincere appreciation to the first responders, event staff, and medical personnel for their swift, coordinated and professional response.”
Video footage showed the skydiver’s parachute landing between the “C” and the “H” on the Virginia Tech lettering on top of the scoreboard before first responders rescued him.
CBS News has reached out to the Blacksburg Fire Department for details on the incident.
A much cleaner performance carried Clemson baseball on Friday, as it answered the previous night’s loss with a 5-1 win over No. 9 Virginia.
Michael Sharman set the tone from the start. He kept Virginia off balance all night, working eight innings while giving up just a single run. There weren’t many free passes, and he consistently pitched ahead, which allowed him to stay in control deep into the game. Hayden Simmerson wrapped things up in the ninth without any trouble.
At the plate, Nate Savoie was the difference. He delivered two home runs, including a go-ahead shot later in the game that put Clemson in front for good. His first long ball gave the Tigers an early edge, and he finished with three RBIs on the night.
Virginia managed to pull even midway through, but Clemson quickly responded. The offense strung together quality at-bats, with Bryce Clavon driving in a run and Luke Gaffney continuing his strong weekend with multiple hits. The Tigers created more separation late, adding another run after working a bases-loaded situation.
Clemson moves to 25-15 overall and 6-11 in conference play with the win. The series now comes down to Saturday’s matchup in Charlottesville.
