City Facilities and Programming

While the Transit Lobby remains closed, all other city facilities have reopened to the public and in-person meetings have resumed. City residents and businesses are encouraged to engage with City staff and conduct City business through online transactions, email and by telephone.

A complete guide to the Parks and Recreation Reopening Plan, which includes a list of available programs and associated rules and expectations, can be found on the Parks and Recreation website.  All three community centers reopened April 12  with limited programming, reduced capacity, and mandatory pre-registration for activities. Some amenities may not be available during phase 1. A specific reopening plan has been developed for Parks and Recreation Community Centers that includes attendee guidelines and a full schedule of activities. Athletic programming, including weekend athletic events, has also resumed. More information can be found here

The goal of the phased reopening, based on public health guidance, is to safely allow activities to resume while mitigating the risk of new COVID-19 cases. The City will continue to follow guidelines and recommendations provided by Gov. Bill Lee and his economic recovery group as well as the Centers for Disease Control and public health officials.
