Parks & Recreation

Facility Re-openings: The city is phasing in the reopening of city recreation facilities, recreation programs, rentals and library services. Registration is limited to those programs that are running at this time.

Playgrounds and Pavilions: Playgrounds and adjacent amenities such as pavilions, picnic tables and shelters are open for self-directed activity to include gatherings of fewer than 10 people and still adhering to all social distancing protocols. Users are responsible for disinfecting any areas of the self-directed activity upon re-opening as they deem appropriate.

Tennis/Pickleball Courts and Skate Park - Tennis/pickleball courts and skate parks are open for self-directed activity use to include gatherings of less than 10 people and still adhering to all strict social distancing protocols. If social distancing cannot be achieved, then the self-directed participants must wear a mask.

If you choose to continue using parks, trails, and open space for walking, hiking, biking or running, continue to practice proper social distancing (maintain at least six feet from others and keep group size to four or fewer people).
