Fairfax County announced Thursday that Our Special Harbor Spray Ground at Lee District Family Recreation Area — and all other spraygrounds and water parks — will remain closed this summer due to coronavirus concerns.
The Fairfax County Park Authority announced: "Water parks, spray grounds and pools are greatly constrained by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines governing safe use by the public. Current CDC guidelines suggest that people not visit water and spray parks. Operational challenges — with social distancing, limits to the number of people inside facilities and the pools, the use of recommended safety masks, protocols for public and staff safety — are significant."
When the Northern Virginia region enters Phase 1 of the Virginia Forward plan, some outdoor pools might be able to open for lap swimming only.
