Can you go to your local park?
Outdoor recreation activity at parks, trails, piers, and beaches, and other open spaces must comply with any access or use restrictions separately established by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, City of Los Angeles, or other entity that manages the area to reduce crowding and the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Individuals can engage in active recreation at beaches, parks, and trails by themselves or with members of their household; team sports and any gatherings are prohibited unless with members of only one household.
Parks (except for playgrounds) shall remain open under normal operating hours, unless otherwise restricted, for passive recreational activities and for permissible active recreational activities defined herein while adhering to social distancing and shall follow the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Reopening Protocol for Use of Public Trails.
Healthcare workers, caretakers, banks, educational institutions, grocery stores, etc. are exempt.
So, what's the difference between this City Order and the last? We're not sure.
