PARK USAGE REMINDERS AND FACILITY CLOSURE UPDATES

4/1/2020…San Clemente, California…..During the stay at home orders, residents are asked to stay inside as often as possible. However, the City recognizes the importance of physical activity and fresh air. Residents are encouraged continue to get routine exercise through outdoor activities within their neighborhood vicinity. For a list of all city parks in your neighborhood, please visit https://www.san-clemente.org/recreation-community/parks-ball-fields/visit-a-park . While park amenities may be closed, the open space and scenic views can provide a calming respite during these challenging times. Additionally, the City encourages its residents to utilize the citywide trail system. With over 25 miles of trails, there are many trailheads within walking distance of most neighborhoods.

Governor Newsom’s Executive Order permits outdoor activity as long as a safe social distance of six-feet is maintained from people who are not part of the same household. If you or a member of your household are sick, please stay home. Park and trail users are reminded to bring drinking water while utilizing outdoor facilities. To help prevent the spread of COVID-

19, the CDC recommends frequent handwashing (or use of hand sanitizer) and to refrain from touching your face. Please see attached infographic and park signage for more information.
