County delays opening of campgrounds

Commentator/Courier

Cypress County’s Emergency Management Committee has decided that it would be in the best interest of ratepayers and residents to delay the opening of Caven Lake and Sandy Point parks for all camping and day use effective April 15. Sandy Point’s newly constructed boat launch will remain open as long as there is social distancing practiced as per the government’s guidelines.

Additionally, all outdoor play structures in the county parks and school playgrounds are now closed until further notice. Residents can still use public parks and trails as long as social distancing is practiced.

The county will continue to monitor the situation and will open the parks when it’s safe to do so.
