Park & Recreation Closures

Dear Residents:
 
As recommended by Ledge Light Health District, The Groton Long Point Association will be closing the playground, gaga pit, and basketball court until further notice. Ledge Light has notified us that:
 
“In light of Governor Lamont’s Executive Order No. 7N , which restricts all social and recreational gatherings to no more than five people, and the continued reporting and observation of groups of people participating in group sporting events, and gathering on playgrounds & playscapes, Ledge Light Health District strongly recommends closing playgrounds & playscapes and prohibiting group sporting events until further notice.
 
Open space, fields and other public areas in parks that can be used while residents maintain safe physical distancing of at least 6 feet are not included in these recommendations.”
–Stephen Mansfield, Director of Health, Ledge Light Health District
 
The tennis courts will remain open until further notice. We ask that you employ social distancing when playing, no more than 5 people should be playing on the two available courts at one time, and it is suggested that if you can please use separate balls (different colors, initial balls for each person, etc).

Thank you.  

Sincerely,
David McBride
President
