Outdoor City pools stay closed as parks reopen under the Governor's COVID-19 orders
On May 13, 2020 the Parks director told the Parks and Recreation Board which facilities had reopened with social distancing and what remained closed under the Governor's orders; two board members raised concerns about the closing of the outdoor pools and the lack of board involvement. On June 10 he reported splash pads, playgrounds, the indoor pool at the Warford Center and other facilities open, while "Outdoor swimming pools and park restrooms remain closed," and said a hiring freeze on seasonal employees had affected maintenance.[1][2]
