Will MD parks and playgrounds be packed tomorrow?

Does this mean private tennis and golf clubs can open? Like country clubs etc?

As long as it’s not roped off, let them play! What will really happen anyway?

Virtually nothing. It’s ridiculous that the county is going directly against the state order.

It's not going against the state order. The state opened up state playgrounds. The county decides what to do about the county playgrounds.

I meant they are disagreeing with what he’s doing. It sends a mixed message to people about what is safe.

I would love for people to report back here Monday.

I'd be perfectly comfortable letting my kids play on playground equipment provided that I could prevent child-to-child contact. And I think I could do that where I live. There's lots of little playgrounds that were usually empty.

How do you prevent child to child contact at a playground?

My daughter has been going to preschool this entire time because we are essential workers. She’s on a playground there all the time. No cases at her center. Transient contact at a playground is very low risk.

That may be true. And people being willing to risk child to child contact is one thing. But PP who planned to go as long as she could prevent child to child contact seems completely unrealistic.

Op here. We went to a park and playgrounds were still roped off. Oh well.

And it was empty just like the days prior.

DH plans to take our older kids fishing later today.

Was it a state park?

My mom suggested we buy DD a pair of gloves to wear at the playground. Not winter gloves; something lighter. Then we can just throw them in the washing machine when we get home.

Seemed like a good idea!

We went to glen echo. I thought it was a state park but I was wrong.

We drove by some tennis courts and they still looked locked up.

Yeah, so far only state parks are open, from what I can tell. No MoCo county parks for sure.

It’s more of an acknowledgement that areas with denser populations and higher infection rates may need to reopen at different rates. MoCo & PG will need to go at a more measured pace than rural areas without hotspots like packing plants.
