Arlington closes playgrounds, park workout stations for coronavirus social distancing

The Arlington Park and Recreation Department closed playgrounds and park workout stations Monday to enforce social distancing due to coronavirus.

The city announced the closures Monday night.

Residents are still allowed to go to local parks and the hike and bike trail system as long as they stay 6 feet away from others. Only playgrounds and work stations are closed.

The closure is an extension of Arlington’s Stay Home, Work Safe executive order from March 24, 2020.

As of Monday, Arlington had 24 current cases of COVID-19.
