City of Stayton playgrounds are now open for public use. Please be advised that the use of the playground equipment and park amenities is to be done at the risk of you and any children in your care. The playground equipment and amenities will not be cleaned or sanitized by the City.
Per the Centers for Disease Control (CDC):
Carefully consider use of playgrounds, and help children follow guidelines. Playgrounds can be hard to keep safe because:
- They are often crowded and could make social distancing difficult
- It can be difficult to keep surfaces clean and disinfected
- SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can spread when young children touch contaminated objects, and then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth.
If you choose to visit a playground:
- Maintain a distance of at least 6 feet away from people you don’t live with.
- Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- Adults and older children who can safely use hand sanitizer: Use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol and rub hands together until dry, if soap and water are not readily available
- Wear a cloth face covering, if you can. Cloth face coverings should not be placed on:
- Children under age 2
- Anyone who has trouble breathing
For the safety of others, adults and children with these symptoms should avoid the playground or park amenities. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
- Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose Nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea
These temporary guidelines may change as state or federal agencies update their guidelines.
