Are parks open?

Question

I’m just wondering if anyone knows if parks are open or closed?
With Covid-19 going on I don’t know if they stay open or not. It’s gorgeous today where I live and I really want to take my son out on a walk

Answer

Everything is closed here( N.J.)

Answer

Depends on your state. iIdaho just closed ok day use areas including public parks

Answer

Here the park is open, but all playgrounds are closed and all sports fields are closed.￼

Answer

In the city...no. Where I live, they broke parks into two categories (open or closed) to explain what we can use and what we can’t. Every park has trails and playground equipment on it, so what they came up with...is parks/trails...open. Playgrounds/gazebos/park bathrooms...closed. We can go to the park and walk around, but kids can’t use the playground equipment. The stay-at-home order does NOT forbid you from going out to exercise. Just have to follow social distancing. My town’s police aren’t even enforcing the order (mainly because the governor himself said it isn’t enforceable...in the same speech that he announced the order in). If the police see you out and not practicing social distancing...all they are doing is “reminding” people of the guidelines and then you go on your way. We’re a pretty big town, but the police don’t have the manpower to enforce this thing. People in my town are doing a good job of following the recommendations, to the point where the “order” really didn’t change how we do anything. As long as we keep doing what we’re doing and following the distance guidelines while exercising...our police won’t be bothering you.
I want to go for a jog...but it’s supposed to rain for the next 4 days 🤦‍♀️ It’s not even nice enough to put a chair outside and sit 🤬 My husband is a healthcare worker, so I fully support the need to stay at home. I’m doing my part. I’m a teacher and we started e-learning last week. So I’m still working. Spring break is this week, so I don’t have much to do, but it’ll go back to somewhat busy on Monday. But for other people...I do think there’s going to come a point where we have been restricted for too long and people are just going to stop caring. For where I live...that point might hit sooner than other places because we were already cooped up all winter, so people are already fed up with being stuck inside as it is.

Answer

In California, the parks/(most)playgrounds are closed. If you live in a fairly large city, I wouldn’t risk it and avoid parks all together. Maybe take a walk around the neighborhood instead?

Answer

Parks are still open here in NYC.

Answer

Parks here are open. We are under a stay at home order but outdoor exercise is okay as long as we keep a distance from other people. I see a ton of people on the trails and whatnot.

Answer

I wouldn’t risk it the virus lives in surfaces so probably best to just go on a walk and skip the park
