SPECIAL SUMMER PROGRAMMING STATEMENT
The City of Greenville Recreation and Parks staff continue to follow guidelines to protect the health and safety
of our patrons during the pandemic. Our programs and events for the summer have been modified, and in some
cases canceled, to address safety.

The department is actively monitoring public health guidance from local and state agencies and setting policy,
modifications, and cancellations of programs & events accordingly. The Department will issue credits, transfers,
or refunds for all cancelled classes, programs, and rentals affected by COVID-19.

These modifications also affect our Program Guide. This issue will be online only and will include programs for
summer sessions, offered between June and August.

Planned programs may need to be altered. When changes occur, those adjustments will be included in this
document. Any new programs added over the next few months also will appear in this space.
We remain proactive in providing safe and quality experiences for our community.

SAFETY PRACTICES FOR FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS
As the impact of COVID-19 continues to affect our facilities and programs, we are working to adapt and
provide services that ensure the health and safety of staff, visitors, and program participants by:

    ☑ Offering smaller class sizes
    ☑ Increasing cleaning and sanitation practices
    ☑ Social distancing practices
    ☑ Face covering requirements for all ages
    ☑ Online registration
    ☑ Registration by appointment at the Jaycee Park Administration Office
    ☑ Permission, release, and assumption of risk participant waiver requirement
