Radnor Closes Playgrounds, Sports Court, Pavilions

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA — Starting Thursday, all Radnor Township playgrounds, playing courts, and more will be closed in the township's ongoing effort to protect the public from the new coronavirus, known as COVID-19.

The township said Wednesday that playgrounds, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, and pavilions will be closed starting Thursday until further notice. All park restrooms and water fountains will stay closed as well.

"As we learn more about this virus and how quickly it can spread, allowing places where kids and parents congregate to remain open works against our primary goal and the guidance of Local, State and Federal health recommendations," the township said in its announcement. "We hope that families looking to get outdoors and stay physically active will take advantage of the Township’s trails and open fields. Provided, however, that we all do our part to use good judgement and prevent the spread of the virus."

Parks and trails will remain open however.

Additionally, the township said all dogs must be on a leash in all township parks and on trails and walking paths to help prevent the spread of infection to others through our pets.

Park goers and trail walkers are urged to take any trash out of the parks and off the trails with them to help prevent spread of the virus to others, including parks employees.
