New Castle, DE – New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer announced today that due to lack of social distancing in New Castle County parks and on the guidance of the USTA, County public works and parks officials will close all tennis courts, as well as lock fenced in dog parks, and skate parks in New Castle County parks. New Castle County will also be locking restrooms and removing port-o-johns in parks, so guests should plan accordingly.
“As the COVID-19 virus continues to spread, we must ensure our parks are not sites for social gatherings,” County Executive Meyer said. “We are encouraging anyone who sees gatherings at any of our parks to call the New Castle County Police Department’s non-emergency number at 302.573.2800."
