New Castle County encourages the public to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) procedures for limiting potential transmission of COVID-19. Common procedures include practicing good hygiene by washing hands with soap and water and then using hand sanitizer, avoiding large activities and gatherings, and staying home if you are feeling sick or have a sick family member in the home. Please keep in mind, that play equipment and other park fixtures are not sanitized by the County. We ask that all visitors follow current State guidelines for masking and social distancing. |
