Burke Park Gazebo Open Again

MALVERN, PA — The Burke Park gazebo in Malvern Borough is open again.

Malvern Borough officials Wednesday said the gazebo is open and the borough will be following the guidance of the Chester County Health Department and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

As Chester County has moved into the yellow phase of Gov. Tom Wolf's economic re-opening plan, gathers in the gazebo will be limited to 25 people or fewer.

The following facilities are still closed:

• All playground equipment at Burke Park
• All playground equipment at Rubino Park
• Baseball field at Quann Park

The borough anticipates the reminder of parks and recreation facilities will re-open when Chester County moves into the green phase of the economic re-opening plan.

Malvern Borough’s basketball courts are open for use, now.

Those who are using the courts are urged to only have 10 people on them at any time and to try to minimize contact by social distancing.

Spectators and those feeling ill should not be on the courts.

Players are encouraged to carry hand sanitizer and disinfect their hands regularly while playing.

These regulations apply to the basketball courts at Herzak Memorial Park and Quann Memorial Park.

Parks are open walking and running, but congregating in parks is not allowed yet. Trails in the Randolph Woods Nature Preserve and Paoli Battlefield Park are open

The tennis courts at the Paoli Memorial Grounds are open. The Malvern Park & Civic Association has established guidelines for the use of the tennis courts. Members should contact Bill Huffman of the Malvern Park & Civic Association at wfhuffman@yahoo.com for more information.
