📢 Based on CDC guidance, gatherings over 50 people including programs, events, private rentals, and pavilion rentals will be cancelled until further notice.

📢 Parks and Trails:

For the health and safety of our citizens, effective immediately the following all parks and trails will remain open at this time, BUT the amenities in the park will be closed.

Closed at all city parks and facilities: playground equipment, dog park, pickleball court, tennis court, basketball courts, skate park.

Park visitors are asked to adhere to all closure notices and current social distancing recommendations of maintaining a minimum of 6 feet from others.

The health and wellbeing of our community, park visitors and staff remain our highest priority. By limiting park usage, we hope to reduce the largest crowd gatherings, thus improving the ability to social distance and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
