The City of San Marcos will close its river parks for the second time amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The river park closing begins Thursday, June 25 at 8 p.m. and will be closed until further notice. The city’s dog park, skate park and natural areas will remain open, however, visitors are asked to observe recommended social distancing practices and wear masks if they are unable to distance themselves from people who are not a part of their household.
“We have witnessed our city’s case count skyrocket over the last week,” Mayor Jane Hughson said in a statement. “By preventing large gatherings of recreational visitors in nearby parks, we are doing our part to ensure our local health organizations don’t exceed capacity in treating seriously ill patients. Our council supports staff as they continue efforts to keep our community safe and keep people from becoming sick.”
