Coronavirus Trumbull Update: Plans To Reopen Some Spaces

TRUMBULL, CT — Town officials are working on plans to reopen a few town spaces in the near future.

Plans are underway to reopen Twin Brooks Park and Old Mine Park first and then eventually Tashua Knolls Golf Course. More details are expected this week.

"These spaces will be reopened with strictly enforced restrictions and guidelines," said First Selectman Vicki Tesoro in a message to the community. "The final decision to reopen any Town areas will be made in conjunction with our Health Director, and will be based on actual data and the health and safety of our community, just as every decision has been made thus far."

Tesoro said that reopening spaces shouldn't be taken as a sign that social distancing isn't necessary. In fact, it will become even more important.
