All city-owned playgrounds and the Nova Recreational Center will be closed beginning Tuesday, March 31, the city announced Monday afternoon. The city will also shut down usage of the Fortunato Park fitness equipment. 

The city stated in a press release that these areas have been deemed high-traffic areas that are prone to gatherings and group activities. 

However, all city parks and trails remain open. The city asks that all residents remain mindful of social distancing guidelines, including avoiding gathering in groups of 10 people or more, and staying 6 feet apart. 

At the county level, all playgrounds have also been closed until further notice. County parks, trails and boat ramps still remain open to the public. Parking in off-beach county lots has also been reduced.
