CONCORD, CA—Under the new State guidelines announced this week, the City of Concord will be reopening its 19 playgrounds on Thursday, Oct. 1. Public Works staff is inspecting and preparing all playgrounds today, and installing new signage indicating usage rules designed to keep people safe from the spread of COVID-19.
Parents and caregivers are responsible for protecting their children and themselves. Rules include:
- Wear a Mask
- Maintain Distance
- No Food or Drink
- Wash Hands (Remember to bring sanitizer to the playground)
- Know When to Stay Home (If ill or if particularly vulnerable to COVID)
- Share Our Space (Wait your turn, let others have a turn)
The City is asking all playground visitors to “Stay safe and play safe.”
CCHS health officials “caution that COVID-19 is still circulating in the community and people should continue to take all the same precautions health officials have been advising for months: wear face coverings in public, maintain physical distancing, wash hands frequently and stay home if you’re sick.”
