Playgrounds and sport courts are open again!
Playgrounds, sports courts and outdoor skate parks have reopened! Please stay six feet from non-household members, wear a mask and wash hands frequently.
Parks, trails and beaches remain open for walking and activities that do not require close proximity and allow for the recommended social distancing that allows six feet between people. The Bellevue Golf Course, Crossroads Par 3 Golf Course, Bellevue Aquatic Center, outdoor tennis courts, playgrounds, sports courts, outdoor skate parks and ballfields are now open, with some safety and social distancing restrictions in place.
Community centers remain closed. We continue to work toward safely re-opening facilities and re-start programming.
