PHOENIX — The Phoenix City Council voted on Wednesday to reopen park amenities that were closed at the beginning of the pandemic.

  • Do not use public recreational amenities if you are exhibiting symptoms of illness
  • Wear a mask of face covering
  • Bring your own wipes and hand sanitizer 
  • Keep a safe distance of six feet or more from others
