Enjoy parks while respecting everyones physical space and personal choices:

• while we want you to enjoy our parks and trails, remember to maintain physical distance from other park guests and stay home if unwell
• you can host an event outdoors in a park: obtain a valid permit for use of any sports field or priority use of picnic tables
• follow pack it in, pack it out and leave no trace (LNT) protocols - anything you take to a park should go home with you ~ never leave your trash, food containers, animal waste or other items
