One thing I'll say in the Parks Department's defense is that this is likely the fault of Dr Gayles and the public health team.  I suspect the Parks Department asked Dr. Gayles what they're supposed to do and never got anything meaningful back.

The public health guidance coming out at a county level is sort of a mess.  It's fine as long as you don't look at it that closely, but once you really start reading it you'll find various inconsistencies and absurd requirements. e.g., Do you really think you can get most 2 year olds to wear masks?  They're technically required in daycares now, even though the state acknowledges a lot of kids under 5 shouldn't wear them).[/quote]

Most of the rest of MD has had playgrounds open since phase 1a, more than a month ago. We went to a playground in Washington County, and they were open on Saturday morning (order was lifted Friday 5pm). They had signs about social distancing. How hard is it to cut off the caution tape and post up the signs?

The Parks department knew that playgrounds would eventually re-open. Didn't they plan ahead for this eventuality?[/quote]
