Reopening Update for City Parks and Rec Facilities
No announced date for reopening Phil Gainer Recreation Center and Riverbend Park
Elkins, W. Va., May 27, 2020: At a meeting last week, the Elkins Parks and Recreation Commission announced reopening steps being taken at city parks and recreation facilities. As reopening proceeds, the commission advises all park users to observe recommended precautions for reducing COVID-19 risk, including distancing from other people, frequent handwashing or sanitization, and the use of masks where distancing may not be practicable.
Playgrounds at city parks are now reopened. Use of playgrounds is at patrons’ own risk. The use of pavilions is discouraged but not prohibited; no reservations are being accepted.
The 2020 summer day camp program has been cancelled.
There is not yet an announced date for reopening either the Phil Gainer Community Center or Riverbend Park.
