The virus is present in our community, and even people without symptoms can have COVID-19 and give it to others. We can all help protect the people we live, work, and interact with so they don’t get the virus. If you are feeling sick, please stay home.
When coming to the park:
- Plan your visit before you come
- Bring everything you need—including water, food, and hand sanitizer—and take everything home. Leave No Trace.
- Maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance
- Wear a mask when near others
