Remember these guidelines when using any of the City Parks:
- Follow CDC’s guidance on personal hygiene prior to heading to the parks — wash hands, carry hand sanitizer, do not use parks and trails if you have symptoms, cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, etc.
- Always observe the CDC’s minimum recommended social distancing of six feet from other people. Practice it and know what it looks like. Practice it as you walk the trails, play tennis, disc golf, etc.
- Note that public restrooms are closed — be prepared before you leave and time outings so that you are not dependent on public restrooms.
- Bring water or drinks — public drinking fountains may be disabled and should not be used, even if operable.
- Bring a suitable trash bag. Leave no trash, take everything out to protect park workers
