DISCUSSION: Public Information Officer Pam Spencer offered the following summary of the Discussion concerning reopening playgrounds and basketball courts: Discussion About Reopening Playgrounds, Splashpads, and Basketball Courts "The Paducah Board of Commissioners and Parks & Recreation Department Director Mark Thompson discussed the reopening ofplaygrounds, splashpads, and basketball courts. In mid-March, the City restricted access to those parks amenities in an effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus as recommended by State and federal guidelines and Governor Beshear's March 19 Executive Order prohibiting mass gatherings. Thompson said he participated in a meeting today with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention along with the National Recreation and Park Association to discuss recommendations for reopening playgrounds. The recommendations include a thorough initial cleaning since playgrounds have been closed for months and then daily disinfecting. Other guidelines include proper signage that would include safety recommendations and the maximum capacity of children based upon the playground's square footage. Another guideline includes the placement ofhand sanitizing stations next to the playgrounds. Thompson hopes to be able to announce the reopening ofPaducah's playgrounds in early July. Regarding the Robert Coleman Sprayground and the splashpad at the Pat & Jim Brockenborough Rotary Health Park, the Parks staff is working on getting the mechanical components and signage ready to reopen those two facilities in mid-July. At this time, Thompson says he has not received enough guidance from federal and state authorities on how to safely reopen the public basketball courts. He has asked the Purchase District Health Department to gather information from the State.
