Bel Air Reopens Municipal Parks And Playgrounds

BEL AIR, MD — The town of Bel Air has reopened its municipal parks and playgrounds, except for one, following restrictions in place due to the coronavirus.

Rockfield playground will reopen Memorial Day weekend, according to a statement from town officials, which said it was undergoing routine maintenance.

Bel Air's decision to reopen follows the order by Gov. Larry Hogan to ease restrictions at state parks on playgrounds and beaches Thursday and Harford County Executive Barry Glassman's subsequent move to reopen playgrounds and boat ramps at county parks.

People should continue to take precautions like washing their hands after touching surfaces that others have touched, staying at least 6 feet apart and not gathering in groups of 10 or more.

"Remain vigilant and take precautions as restrictions are eased," Bel Air Mayor Amy Chmielewski said in a statement. "Our residents’ safety is our first priority."
