Revised Thursday, January 21, 2021
Please be advised that the status of activities listed on this page are subject to change at any time.
Most facilities remain closed due to the pandemic. Update for Medgar Evers Pool: due to rapidly climbing COVID-19 cases in the county and state, the pool’s plans for re-opening are on hold indefinitely. We will continue to monitor and evaluate conditions, and will keep you posted when the situation changes.
PARKING LOTS
Almost all parking lots have reopened. Exceptions: the Green Lake west lots near the row house; lower and upper Woodland Park except for the lots near the ballfields; Atlantic St. Boat Launch; and the upper lots at Seward Park due to a long-term construction project. (Lower lots are open.)
BOAT LAUNCHES
Atlantic City Boat Launch is closed to accommodate the City’s COVID-19 testing site. Boaters, please use Stan Sayres launch, 4 miles north, as an alternate. Most other boat launches are open, with adjacent parking open as well, except for Ferdinand St. Strict guidelines are in place; read those here.

Masks are required.
