Step 2: Joplin Response and Recovery Plan (as of June 3, 2020)
We wanted to provide an update to keep our followers informed of what’s open, what’s not, and the status of upcoming programs within Parks and Recreation. Please read the entire post below. Many common questions are also addressed in the FAQ document on our website at www.joplinparks.org.
Our two most popular questions are:
1) Are the playgrounds open? As of June 2, they are open. It will take some time for our staff to take down the fencing around all of the playgrounds, so we ask for your patience. Please remember social distancing guidelines when visiting public spaces.
2) When are the pools opening? Up to this point, we have been recruiting, hiring, and training lifeguards to ensure our facilities are properly staffed and patrons are safe. With current regulations and restrictions, we are planning to open Schifferdecker Aquatic Center on Monday, June 15, 2020. The facility will feature a limited capacity of 375 guests and some amenities will be modified and/or closed. We do not have enough staff to safely open Cunningham Aquatic Center and Ewert Aquatic Center, and they will be closed for the 2020 season.
Regarding our facilities that are listed at limited capacity in the graphic below, the usage depends on each location.
We appreciate everyone’s patience while we adapt to the recommended operations for parks and recreation. Please know these things may change in the upcoming days and weeks. We will post updates as needed. Please continue to follow the CDC guidelines to stay healthy and safe. If you have any questions, please give us a call at 417-625-4750, email parks@joplinmo.org, or send us a message.
