PORTLAND — The Portland Parks and Recreation Department has completely closed Kelley Point Park on the Columbia River after a 10-year-old girl drowned there.
Portland Fire & Rescue says searchers recovered her body Sunday after a search of nearly 2 ½ hours.
The girl was seen just after 4 p.m.
The park sits at the convergence of the Columbia and Willamette rivers and swimming hasn’t been allowed there since 2012.
Parks officials say the girl’s death marks the second recent drowning there.
