Following the announcement from Mayor Steve Clifford on Monday night closing all public parks in Paris, officials today stated the Trail de Paris and the walking track around Dragon Park are exempt from the order.
“Due to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic, the City of Paris is closing all city parks except the Trail de Paris and the walking track at Dragon Park effective immediately,” said Interim City Manager Gene Anderson. “The goal of this closing is to help prevent the spread of this virus. Contact with playground equipment and activities that bring people into close contact (basketball for example) can increase the possibility of spreading the coronavirus. Parks will remain closed until further notice. Please help the City help you by not utilizing our parks at this time.”
The City is also discouraging the use of similar facilities at all schools and other parks located outside of Paris.
