 Local parks and open spaces play a crucial role in the overall physical and mental health of a community. Parks also provide a much needed respite during challenging times such as the current Coronavirus outbreak.

As such, it may be necessary to make changes to our operations as the situation evolves. The following list of facilities is accurate as of April 1, 2020. Before heading to a county park, please check Parks.NHCgov.com/COVID19 or our facebook page for the most up-to-date list of open facilities.

CLOSED
