Playground Reopening Plan Set For Clayton

From the City of Clayton:

September 18, 2020

The City has received approval from the St. Louis County Health Department to start opening playgrounds. The City will take a phased approach in the openings and will start with the opening of playgrounds at DeMun Park on Wednesday, September 23 and Taylor Park by the end of the week. Additional playgrounds within the City are scheduled to be opened in phases over the next several weeks as preparations are completed.

Parks crews will be cleaning and disinfecting each playground on weekdays with CDC approved cleansers. To further help limit the risk of disease transmission, please note the following:

• Playground equipment will be open daylight hours only (dawn to dusk).
• Stay home if you are experiencing any symptoms.
• Face masks are required except on children at play.
• Maintain a minimum of 6 feet of social distancing from others. If the playground seems crowded, come back at another time.
• Limit time spent at playgrounds to ensure that other families have the opportunity to play.
• Wash or sanitize hands regularly.
