Stay Safe, Play Safe

Parks are open, but PLAYGROUNDS ARE CLOSED INCLUDING THE GROVE PARK FITNESS AREA in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19

Now more than ever, the City of Rehoboth Beach understands the need to take advantage of our wonderful parks and outdoor spaces during the COVID-19 health emergency and statewide shelter in place order.

We encourage citizens to use the parks and outdoor spaces to get outside for fresh air and exercise, but we need everyone’s help to keep our parks open during this period. Please be sure to practice safe social distancing so that we can all do our part to flatten the curve.

We are fortunate to have trails and parks open for use, but some parks are getting heavy use on peak days and we need your help to manage crowds so that we don’t have to close these parks.

Please help us keep our parks open and safe for everyone by following the simple safe practices below.

• If You’re Sick, Stay Home: Trails and parks should be treated like any other public space and if you’re sick you should opt to stay home and keep everyone safe.
• Go Solo & Avoid Crowds: If you’re visiting the parks, please only come in groups of family or people that you live with. Going outdoors during this time is for our health and not for socializing in groups.
• Maintain 6 Feet Social Distancing: Please be mindful of your surroundings and maintain 6 feet of social distancing space at all times.
• Cover Your Cough: Always sneeze and cough into a tissue, or if one is not available, into your elbow.
• Do Not Shake Hands: Limit physical contact to members of your immediate household. No unnecessary physical contact in parks.
• All Dogs On Leash: Please keep your dog on leash at all times and remove any waste when you leave.
• Face Masks: Follow the Governor’s order to wear face coverings in public settings.

If you notice park patrons not observing these rules, please contact the police department's non-emergency number at 302-227-2577.

We appreciate everyone’s support and cooperation as we move through this event together as a community. We hope that trails and parks are able to be used by everyone and provide some comfort and healthy outlet for us all as we move ahead.
