To help prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the Glen Ellyn Park District is recommending safety guidelines for those who go to the playground. They are:

• Stay home if you or your child are sick or have coronavirus symptoms
• Wash hands or use hand sanitizer before and after using playground equipment
• Avoid crowded playgrounds and minimize contact between children
• No more than 50 people at a time are allowed on a playground
• Practice social distancing and wear a mask when you cannot safely socially distance

While the playgrounds are reopening, playground equipment will not be sanitized, so those who use it do so at their own risk, according to the Glen Ellyn Park District.
