Sugar Land Parks and Recreation
The caution tape is coming down! We are so happy to share with you that today (June 12) we are re-opening all city playgrounds, pavilions, and drinking fountains!
Even more good news, the Municipal Pool at City Park opens TOMORROW!
All the above city park facilities have been re-opened in accordance with Governor Abbot’s COVID-19 announcement of Phase III to open Texa
DRINKING FOUNTAINS:
Public drinking water supplies are safe to drink. The virus that causes COVID-19 hasn’t been detected in drinking water. Water treatment facilities have processes to filter and disinfect water before it goes into your home. However, the surfaces around the fountain including the spout, button/lever and nozzles could pose a risk for the transmission of COVID-19 and other germs:
-Don’t place your mouth on the spout of the fountain or allow your water bottle to come into contact with the nozzle -Test the water flow and let the water flow for 10 seconds to allow for fresh, clean water to come through prior to drinking.
-If the fountain requires you to push a button or lever, clean the surface before and after, or push the button with your elbow.
-Clean your hands afterwards with an alcohol-based rub or wash them with soap and water.
PAVILIONS:
Though park pavilions are being re-opened, facility reservations will continue to be on hold until further notice.
MUNICIPAL POOL:
