The Parks and Recreation Department continues to modify operations to implement the latest guidance from state and local authorities on social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19. Officials said, "Following this guidance, we are not taking new facility rentals or campground reservations at this time.
"All Park Playgrounds, Visitor Centers, Athletic Facilities and offices are currently closed to the public. As long as the current level of service is sustainable, most public restrooms and outdoor spaces remain open at Chester Frost, Riverpark and Enterprise South Nature Park. "When visiting your parks, act responsibly with regard to social distancing and park capacity: • Refrain from using parks or trails if you are exhibiting symptoms; • Follow CDC’s guidance on personal hygiene prior to and during use of parks or trails; • Make other users aware of your presence and maintain proper distance at all times; and • If you are unable to maintain social distancing, find an alternate location or time to visit your park."
