Forsyth begins limited reopening of park facilities

Seven weeks after it began shutting down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Forsyth County Parks & Recreation announced the limited reopening Friday of athletic fields, basketball and tennis courts and other outdoor facilities.

Athletic fields will be available, though for no organized play, according to a county announcement. Tennis courts also will reopen, as will outdoor basketball courts – for shooting hoops only, no games.

Also open will be the track and field at Fowler Park; the Shady Grove Campground, for limited RV and glamping usage; one central restroom per park; the restroom at the Big Creek Greenway Bethelview Trailhead; and picnic pavilions, for non-reserved use by fewer than 10 people.
