Park Safety Tips
As the temperatures warm up, the call of the wild will turn into a loud roar. We hear it too!

Fresh air and exercise are so important for both your physical and mental well-being. We encourage you to enjoy our parks and open spaces but ask that before you go, please review all updated park restrictions on our website. We want to be able to keep our parks open for all and continue to do our part to flatten the curve of COVID-19 transmission.
