“This was a strategic decision. Easing of restrictions on the parks with trails is provisional, and it is based on appropriate social distancing,” said County Administrator Jerry Cameron. “If it doesn’t work – if people take advantage of the situation and use it as an opportunity to gather together – we will immediately reclose the parks.”
County officials said community centers, playgrounds sports fields, courts, pavilion rentals, the skate park and the buildings at Princess Place Preserve will remain close.
