Mill Creek MetroParks Officials Urge Social Distancing while using Park

/in /by

Spending time outdoors is a great way to stay active and healthy during the COVID19 pandemic. Reconnecting with nature can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Although many Mill Creek MetroParks indoor facilities, outdoor playgrounds, and programs have been closed and cancelled, Mill Creek Park remains open for visitors to get outside and explore. Mill Creek MetroParks officials want to remind park users of the importance in following all guidelines from state and local health officials, such as social distancing and practicing good hygiene to help flatten the curve and stop the spread of COVID-19.
