Update Los Angeles County Public Health Safer at Home Order
Los Angeles County Public Health has announced that it will issue a Temporary Safer at Home Order effective Monday, November 30 through Sunday, December 20, 2020.
This public health order will close playgrounds, except for playgrounds that are located at childcare centers or schools. At this time, all other park amenities remain open, but adhering to protocols that include face coverings, physical distancing, and no large group gatherings that are outside of the household unit.
Below are components of the Public Health Safer at Home Order that will take effect on Monday.
- Gatherings: All public and private gatherings with individuals not in your household are prohibited, except for faith-based services and protests, which are constitutionally protected rights.
- Occupancy limits; all individuals at these sites are required to wear face coverings and keep at least 6-feet of distance:
- Fitness Centers operating outdoors – 50% maximum occupancy;
- Museums galleries, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens operating outdoors – 50% maximum occupancy;
- Mini-Golf, batting cages, go-kart racing operating outdoors – 50% maximum occupancy;
-
- Outdoor recreation activities all which require face coverings (except for swimming) and distancing:
- Beaches, trails, and parks remain open; gatherings at these sites with members outside your household are prohibited.
- Golf courses, tennis courts, pickleball, archery ranges, skate parks, bike parks, and community gardens remain open for individuals or members of a single household. Pools that serve more than one household may open only for regulated lap swimming with one person per lane;
- Drive-in movies/events/car parades are permitted provided occupants in each car are members of one household.
We continue to coordinate and communicate with the Department of Public Health to better understand the impacts of the temporary Safer at Home Order at our park facilities. As we get additional updates, we will continue to communicate them with you.
