Title
Parks and Recreation
Description
Outdoor recreation has been allowed to continue under the stay-at-home order. At the same time, people are required to practice social distancing and many facilities in local, county, and state parks have closed and reduced staff. This collection looks at changes to parks and outdoor recreation areas and how people are continuing to use these resources during a time of crisis.
