We know you have read the alerts, the reports on the news, and the City of Garland’s disaster declaration on March 17 that resulted in closures of several City facilities. But, what you may not know is that Garland’s outdoor parks are not affected and are still open!
We want to remind everyone to practice good social distancing, staying six feet apart from other visitors, washing your hands, and any other means necessary to keep you healthy. For more information on tips and recommendations, and to stay up-to-date on our community updates, visit the City of Garland Public Health Department Disease Information page.
Garland has a ton of great outdoor opportunities to stay active and healthy. Check out the list below:
