Parks and Recreation Courts and Fields to Open

Today, Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin announced that all City owned outdoor fields and courts are now open. Social distancing guidelines remain in place. Folks must remain six feet apart, equipment sharing must be limited and gatherings of more than one hundred people are prohibited. Face masks must be worn. Restrooms currently remain closed.
