The City of San Marcos reopened all public facilities including park pavilions and picnic areas today, Wednesday, Mar. 3, following closure to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Capes Park, Thompson’s Island, and Rio Vista pool will remain closed.
“We’ve seen a steady decline in active cases in San Marcos and a sustained low number of new cases with fewer hospitalizations, which are the indicators we have based our opening decisions upon throughout this pandemic,” said City Manager Bert Lumbreras. “We all want to remain vigilant in maintaining CDC recommended guidelines to keep case counts low and to continue to combat community spread as the vaccine becomes available to a larger portion of our community.”
Signage will be posted at all facilities and parks requiring visitors to follow CDC guidelines, including wearing a mask and maintaining at least six feet of distance from those who do not reside in the same home. Anyone experiencing COVID-related symptoms should not enter a facility, park or recreational area.
