As Kentucky continues to phase in the re-opening of the economy, Floyd County has re-opened its public parks and playgrounds.

Judge Executive Robbie Williams said the community should feel safe in using the public spaces as long as everyone follows the social distancing guidelines.
Williams said getting the people active is a good way to refresh the minds of those who have been stuck inside for too long.

He said staying six feet apart, maintaining personal hygiene and keeping playground equipment clean are all ways for the community to enjoy the amenities without spreading the virus. But that will require a little effort from everyone.

A park crew will be going out and cleaning the parks on a daily basis, however its encouraged that you take precautions and wipe down any equipment you use.
