Parks

• In an effort to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, the City of Saratoga Springs is temporarily closing the use of all playground and bathroom structures at City Parks, as well as the baseball fields at Patriot Park. 
• As an added measure, the City Parks Department is still performing playground inspections and is simultaneously spraying down playgrounds with a disinfectant spray.
• Parks currently remain open to the public. However, we also encourage residents to follow the Governor’s “Stay Safe, Stay Home” directive by refraining from gathering at trailheads or outdoor spaces and continuing to practice self-quarantine and social distancing.

Events

With many practicing social distancing and staying home all day instead of going to work and school, sewer systems across the country are seeing more waste than usual in concentrated areas. 

As a city we want to avoid sewer backups, so remember Flush Only Toilet Paper and Natural Waste.
