The car park at Ely Lodge Forest Park along Shore Road in Enniskillen remains closed to the public. The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) cited a disputed ownership issue with a third party as the cause.

Access to the car park entrance has been restricted for over a year. A large tree trunk blocks the entrance.

DAERA stated that the closure continues pending resolution of the ownership dispute between the department and the third party.
