MARIETTA, GA — Parks in Marietta and throughout Cobb County reopened most of their facilities to residents on Monday, including outdoor playgrounds, restroom facilities, and aquatic centers.

Many of these facilities will have public health restrictions in place that will help maintain recommended social distancing, according to the park.

Following Gov. Brian Kemp’s orders, Cobb PARKS is working with associations and athletic organizations to formulate COVID-19 response plans that will allow organized games to resume when their plans are approved.
