The city originally had partially closed parks, marking off areas that are high traffic leading to group gatherings and impossible to keep sanitized (like playgrounds, courts, picnic shelters, etc). The hope was that signage and education would allow the parks to remain open, however, there is currently no safe way to ensure that park users will be protected from COVID-19 as park rules continue to be violated.
