You're probably wondering how to plan a summer fun day in the sun without risking your life. Well, you can! So don't cancel all of your plans for fear of getting hurt from an unlucky event.

​

You may think it would be easy walking around outside with friends but there's always a risk lurking behind every bush; even if they seem harmless at first glance.

 

Pleasant Hill park safety rules are important, so take heed and stay safe! Some tips to remember:

• Avoid wandering too far. There could be poisonous snakes. Children especially must be accompanied at all times.

• Stay away from the wet surfaces of sand when barefoot because it might cause Tetanus

• Always have someone with you who can pull you out in case of drowning while swimming during cool hours

• Share your space ( limit visit to 30 minutes) or wear masks for everyone over two years old when on and around play structures

• Wear sunscreen before going outside to prevent sunburns that may lead to skin cancer

• Due to the threat of Covid infections, the city has added safety measures to make sure that visitors will have a good time in the parks without worrying if they will get sick.

• Children over two years old should wear a mask when on and near playground equipment at all times!

• Keep six feet apart from other park visitors (and try not to crowd on the equipment).

• Wash hands for 15 seconds after playing with dirty objects or before eating or drinking anything.

• Avoid spending too much time inside of children's attractions as it can be difficult to control how crowded they become; limit visits to 30 minutes if possible.

​

Sports fields, infield, dugouts, basketball courts, and bocce courts are open but visitors are advised that co-mingling of people from different households are not allowed nor is sharing with other residents.

​

Pleasant Hill park bathrooms are open during the day but will close in the evening; plan to use your home restroom if you'll be out late at night.

​

It is important to be cautious when visiting public parks. Make sure to observe park rules at all times to have a safe and enjoyable experience at any of Pleasant Hill’s public spaces.
