(March 23, 2020 10:22 AM)  The City of Jackson’s Parks and Recreation Department is closing all playgrounds in the City of Jackson until further notice. This decision was made Monday, March 23 to help limit the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Play structures, swing sets, and other equipment will be taped off with caution tape. City parks and trails will remain open. However, the Parks and Recreation Department encourages residents to practice social distancing while using the open spaces of parks and trails, and follow the latest recommendations from the State of Michigan and federal government. Parks and Recreation Director Kelli Hoover says her department is doing what they can to respond to this crisis. “We made this decision to combat the spread of COVID-19 and to keep local families safe. Our parks and trails will remain open so residents can stay active, but we encourage everyone to use caution while going into our public spaces,” Hoover said.

The City of Jackson has already closed a community center and cancelled recreation programs until further notice. Jackson City Hall and the Jackson Police Department are also closed to the public.
