Parks & Recreation COVID-19 Status

Duluth Parks is actively monitoring evolving public health guidance from local, federal, and state agencies and setting policy accordingly. Pandemic-related policy is intended to enable citizens to continue to use Duluth parks in a manner that will not contribute to increased disease transmission.

Park users are expected to make responsible choices to utilize parks and trails in a manner that will minimize the risk of disease transmission.

Park users should follow the same general rules of thumb for disease prevention at all times:

Maintain minimum six-foot social distances
Do not congregate in large groups
Minimize contact with high-touch surfaces such as benches, tables, and trash cans.
Select alternatives to crowded sites like the Lakewalk
Walk to nearby parks rather than driving to more distant park sites
Refrain from using parks or trails if exhibiting symptoms
Be prepared for the absence of public restrooms, trash receptacles, water fountains, and protection from the elements.
Wash hands as directed by the CDC prior to and after visiting parks
Visit by yourself or with others in your household
Obey all closures and restrictions
While on trails, make your presence known and step aside to let others pass
