• Playgrounds are currently being re-opened; they should all be opened by June 3.
• Kirk Park Dog Beach will reopen soon however there will likely be new limitations due to the high water and eroded access to the south side of the beach. More information to follow.  Sign up here to receive e-mail alerts related to the Kirk Park Dog Beach.
