Are Parks Open? Roundup of Parks and Trail Info.
Apr 21 all-day
Buncombe County

 

Picture of bicycle, text: Are Parks Open?

What local parks and trails are open? Buncombe County’s Stay Home-Stay Safe provides for outdoor activity as long as physical distancing requirements are met. This includes space of at least six feet between individuals who do not live in the same household and no more than 10 individuals in a single space at the same time. The order also mandates closing playground areas to decrease the spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

To see if a park, trail, court, or recreation area is open, please visit the managing agency at a link below. During the emergency order, residents are encouraged to stay active by walking, jogging, running, biking, and other forms of physical activity or exercise in their homes or household outdoor space such as a porch, deck, yard, or driveway – as long as physical distancing requirements are observed.

Many parks and recreation agencies have closed most of their facilities until further notice following due to overcrowding the latest advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Recreation and Park Association, US Tennis Association, and others. Some greenways and trails remain open. All Buncombe County Recreation Services locations are closed. Individual organizations remain in regular contact with medical and environmental health professionals at Buncombe County Health and Human Services to determine the most responsible time to allow residents back into their parks.

We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this uncharted territory. Follow Buncombe County Recreation on Facebook and Instagram.
