Bucks County playgrounds allowed to reopen

Bucks County Health Department lets towns open their playgrounds if they choose

Bucks County Health Department lets towns open their playgrounds for families with social distancing guidelines. FOX 29's Dawn Timmeney reports.

BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. - The Warminster Community Park playground is empty because it remains closed due to coronavirus. However, that could be changing soon. Bucks County Emergency Management gave municipalities the green light to open playgrounds if they chose.

It’s music to many kids and parents' ears. The Bucks County Health Department determined it’s safe to reopen with social distancing guidelines in place.

"I think it would be fine if they open the playground, just as long as before they close them every day, they make sure they clean everything that's being used,” Aiden Wright said.

Perkasie posted on its Facebook page borough playgrounds are now open but they strongly recommend social distancing, wearing masks, and hand hygiene.
