In preparation for the eventual reopening, the CDC issued the following guidelines for the use of recreational facilities. Be sure to follow these guidelines to help protect you and your family.

DO

• Visit parks that are close to your home
• Prepare before you visit
• Stay at least 6 feet away from others (“social distancing”) and take other steps to prevent COVID-19
• Play it safe around and in swimming pools. Keep space between yourself and others

DON’T

• Visit parks if you are sick or were recently exposed to COVID-19
• Visit crowded parks
• Use playgrounds
• Use hot tubs, spas, water playgrounds, or water parks
• Participate in organized activities or sports.

National, state or local parks

State and local authorities will decide whether parks and other recreational facilities will open. Check with the park in advance to be sure you know which areas or services are open, such as bathroom facilities and concessions, and bring what you need with you.

Beaches or other swimming areas

State and local authorities will decide whether natural bodies of water and beaches or swim areas will be open. Please check with individual beaches or swim areas for specific details.

Reminder: Stay 6 feet away from others (“social distancing”) and take other steps to prevent COVID-19

Swimming Pools

There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the water. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (with chlorine or bromine) of pools should kill COVID-19. However, you should know:  Our pool will remain closed until further notice from our corporate office. 

• Practice social distancing by staying at least six feet (two meters) from others.
• Avoid large gatherings of more than 10 people.
• Keep your hands clean by washing hands with soap and water, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
