• We are pleased to announce that the public restrooms at City Park, Volunteer Park and Shoemaker Park are scheduled to open on Friday, May 22nd, just in time for the holiday weekend. Please note that the downtown restrooms behind the Elk's lodge will not be open until next week. P&R Seasonal Maintenance staff will visit the restrooms daily to disinfect and clean each site. Please exercise caution when utilizing public facilities as the risks associated with COVID-19 still exist. 
  
  HAND WASHING is an absolute MUST. While the facilities will be open, we encourage folks to prepare and plan ahead to mitigate the need for using public amenities. 
  
  Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone. Stay safe and have fun, and remember not to burn those hot dogs.
