“As always, the safety of our employees, customers and community is our highest priority and will never be
compromised. With extensive planning, vigilant attention to safety protocols by our team members and participants,
and unwavering leadership throughout the city, we were able to begin some spring programming in February.
However, due to continued concerns surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19), as well as the possible presence
of a variant, and its potential spread in our community, we are continuously evaluating our proposed summer
programming. While strong health and safety protocols will continue to be in place at each of our summer activities,
please know programming listed in this guide could be altered or cancelled due to guidance from local and state
health officials. We appreciate your support and your understanding as we continue to navigate and manage what
will be a different summer model for parks and recreation programming. Please take care and stay safe.”
