The Portage Park District (PPD) parks and trails will remain open as an essential outdoor activity to support the physical and mental health needs of the community. As per the guidelines set forth by Governor DeWine, Portage Park District urges visitors to comply with social/physical distancing requirements. Portage Park District has offered these reminders for safely enjoying your parks: maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from other park patrons, stay home if you don’t feel well, practice good hygiene, warn other trail users of your presence as you pass to allow proper distancing, leave no trash, take everything with you to protect park staff. We also encourage park patrons to visit at off-peak times and explore less busy locations, perhaps try a new park. Our complete list of parks and trails can be found www.co.portage.oh.us/portage-park-district/parks-maps.
Additionally, on April 4, Governor DeWine encouraged Ohioans to wear cloth masks when in public as recommended by the CDC.
