Announcements

• Please know that at this time, the parks are open, but we highly encourage you to be sensible, practice social distancing, and do not touch maps, kiosks, or the playground equipment, and clean your hands before and after being in the park.  The playground is roped off and closed. Also note that Hollow Park bathrooms are closed until further notice, and the playground is NOT sanitized, so that too is off limits and is closed off. When it is safe to do so, the playground will be open again. Plans are being discussed to open, check back on the website for updates!
  
  If you are sick, or if anyone else in your household is sick, or showing any signs of illness to  please stay home . We must all do our part to prevent the spread of this illness.
   
  In the meantime, practice social distancing, stay well, and let’s hope to see each other in better times soon!
   
• It is the state law that there is a mandatory 14-day quarantine for travelers coming into the region from states with high rates of coronavirus infections.
  The list of states subject to the rules will be updated depending on infection rates. Currently they include Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Utah and Texas.
  
  Any state with a positive coronavirus test rate of 10 percent or greater over a seven-day period will fall into that list; another measure used will be the rate of daily new cases per 100,000 people in a state. The list of states subject to the rules will be updated weekly, said Acting Connecticut Department of Health Commission Deidre Gifford.
   
  The rules will also apply to Connecticut residents who travel to hard-hit states like Florida and Texas.
  
  If you have traveled to any of these states or are from the states on the list, you are unable to participate in our programs until the mandatory 14 day quarantine period has been done without any signs of illness.
