The Springfield-Greene County Park Board is closing everything from Chesterfield, Dan Kinney and Doling Family Centers to Jordan Valley Ice Park and Springfield Skate Park due to new restrictions on public gatherings.

However, if you’re looking to hit your favorite park, trail or golf course, you still can.

Here’s the news release from the park board with the latest on what’s open and closed:

Springfield, MO — In accordance with the City of Springfield’s March 17 announcement that all gatherings of 10 or more people are prohibited through April 1, numerous Parks facilities are closed and a growing list of events are canceled to control spread of COVID-19.

Outdoor parks and trails remain open and are following normal hours. Bill and Payne Stewart Golf Course, Horton Smith Golf Course and Rivercut Golf Course remain open regular hours. Parks visitors are advised to not gather in groups larger than 10. All visitors are advised to follow CDC prevention guidelines, including handwashing, social distancing, avoiding touching your face, covering coughs and sneezes and staying home while sick.

SPARC Spring Break Camp is proceeding this week through March 20 at multiple sites, and kids will be limited to groups of nine plus a staff member. Field trips have been canceled and replaced with on-site activities. Education facilities and childcare are exempt from the city’s civil emergency declaration, and Parks officials view these programs, presented in partnership with Springfield Public Schools, as essential childcare services for parents who work. SPARC staff members are taking extra precautions to keep kids safe, including following strict cleaning protocols, taking frequent breaks for hand washing, reminding participants to keep their hands away from their faces and removing anyone from the group who shows signs of illness.

Sports leagues are suspended through May 12, including youth and adult Softball, Baseball, Volleyball, Flag Football and Tennis. Leagues may be postponed or rescheduled. Details will be announced.
