Mayor Patti Garrett Issues Public Parks Reminder

Public Parks in the City of Decatur remain open. Adherence to the following guidelines is imperative to protect the safety and health of our community during this public health emergency: 

·         If you are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19, stay home, and avoid public parks and other public spaces.

·         Adhere to social distancing requirements and remain 6 feet away from others or you may be asked to leave the park.

·         Do not engage in contact sports or games, such as playground soccer, basketball, etc.

·         Bring hand sanitizer as bathrooms may be closed.

·         Bring water as water fountains are temporarily unavailable.

·         The playgrounds are closed.

 Exercise provides much needed stress relief. Walking, running, skateboarding or cycling can be done while still maintaining a safe 6-feet of distance from others. Thank you for continuing to do your part in ensuring our community remains as safe as possible during this time.
