BPRD believes that parks, trails and open spaces such as a golf course can be used in a safe manner that allows people to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits these spaces provide. At this time, there are no restrictions on the use of local parks, trails, boat ramps and open spaces. BPRD recommends taking these simple precautions should you choose to play golf:

  • Do not golf if you are not feeling well.
  • Practice social distancing by keeping at least six feet away from other golfers in your group. Avoid prolonged discussion on the golf courses. Keep your distance at tee boxes, fairways and greens.
