Derby mayor closes parks, playgrounds until further notice

Sharing from Derby Mayor Richard Dziekan's Facebook page:

"As we continue to navigate our new reality amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important that local government officials help set the tone to mitigate the spread of the virus.

"In accordance with this idea, Derby will be following the lead of Seymour, Ansonia and Oxford and closing our public parks until further notice.

This includes:

-Payden Park/Ryan/DeFillippo Field (baseball, football/soccer field and track),
-Bradley School court and playground, Irving School court and playground,
-Witek Park Soccer Field,
-the picnic grove and basketball courts

"As of right now, the Derby Greenway will remain open, but we strongly encourage you to practice social distancing if you choose to utilize it.

These restrictions will remain in place until further notice."
