The City Commission on Monday voted to reopen City-owned boat ramps at Centennial Park and Ken Thompson Park to the public, effective Tuesday, May 5.

The commission also approved reopening the tennis courts at City parks and facilities beginning next week. Use will be limited to singles play only, with players also asked to adhere to safe playing recommendations suggested by the United States Tennis Association.

Citizens are advised to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for safe social distancing in public to help stop the spread of COVID-19. City residents are also strongly urged to wear protective masks when leaving home under the City’s local public health emergency declaration.

Lido Beach remains temporarily closed at this time. The City Commission voted to revisit the beach status at its May 18 meeting, with the City continuing to monitor daily local COVID-19 testing data and the trend of positive cases within City limits.

Other City recreational facilities and amenities, including playgrounds and basketball courts, also remain closed at this time.
