Beginning June 1, the City of Owensboro will be opening outdoor tennis courts, the archery range at Ben Hawes Park, and the Owensboro Parks & Recreation Administrative Center with restrictions. Centre Court, operated by the Owensboro Daviess County Tennis Association, will also be opening.
Outdoor park greenspace and walking trails remain open. Park amenities like playgrounds, other sport courts and fields remain closed until further notice.
Outdoor tennis courts and the archery range will have signs posted stating guidelines and restrictions for use.
Centre Court has established a plan for operation around the USTA guidelines. Those rules are posted at the facility. Call Centre Court in advance at 270-240-4213 with questions or to reserve a court time.
The Parks & Recreation Administrative Center will open to the public without appointment, but capacity will be limited to three guests at any given time. Masks are required by all visitors and staff members in lobbies, common areas, restrooms and hallways. Social distancing guidelines of 6 feet are enforced in all City facilities.
To protect the health and well-being of the public and staff, the City continues to encourage visitors and members of the public to conduct business with the City through electronic means such as email and phone.
“Our goal above all else is to ensure the safety of our citizens, participants and team members,” reads a statement from the Parks & Rec Department. “We apologize for any inconvenience, and ask all to remain patient during this time as we do our part to in the effort to protect the public and employees from transmission of COVID-19.”
