Some outdoor locations will remain open, including Fellows Riverside Gardens; Sebring Woods; the MetroParks Bikeway; Mill Creek Golf Course; Wick Par-3; MetroParks Farm Disc golf course; and all of the nature preserves and sanctuaries.

Large groups are encouraged not to congregate at the park, and social distancing is strongly urged. Park officials are also advising that those in the park do not use handrails, park benches and other highly used areas to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
