Bethel Parks and Recreation Dept. plans to re-open playgrounds at Meckauer and Parloa Parks on June 24th , 2020.

The restrooms will also re-open at this time. Residents should use these facilities at their own risk.

The playgrounds will be cleaned each morning and the bathrooms will be cleaned several times during the day. However, due to the community spread of COVID-19, we cannot guarantee that there is no chance of transmission when using these facilities.

To minimize the risk, we requested that follow these guidelines:

 If you have tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 and still have symptoms, DO NOT use the playground equipment.

 If you are at high risk for severe disease, please do not use the
playground equipment.
