Warren County Parks and Recreation reopened portions of outdoor facilities for group exercise on May 15, 2020, subject to the following:

  • The use of outdoor facilities is at your own risk.
  • Persons in a high-risk group as determined by the CDC, which include persons over age 65 or anyone, regardless of age, who has a significant medical condition, including but not limited to
    asthma, are not permitted to use any recreational facilities other than the walking trails. (Update – this sentence has been removed…  and use by such persons is trespassing.)
  • By order of the Governor, groups of more than ten (10) individuals are prohibited.
  • Please practice social distancing and be safe during this pandemic.

Additional Parks and Recreation facilities will reopen in accordance with the Governor’s subsequent guidance.
