Summer camps will begin on June 15; each camp will have limited space to ensure social distancing. Gymnastics will be offering make-up classes from those missed in March and April.

According to city officials, restrictions will be in place at both the community center and activity center. Capacity will be limited in the weight room and cardio deck, and the cardio deck will be broken up into two lanes to promote social distancing.

Pickleball will be available on Court 2 only from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, city officials said. Open play basketball will be scheduled each day on Court 2. Those dates and times will be announced on June 1. Wall signs and floor signs will be placed around each building to promote social distancing.

The following guidelines apply to the fitness center:
• The city is promoting a “workout and leave” environment; please keep your workout to 60 minutes or less.
• Upon entering the building, all members will be given one towel for cleaning the equipment. When exiting the building, the towel will be disposed of in a laundry basket provided at the front doors. There will be cleaning bottles/sanitizer provided for each piece of equipment.

• Please bring your own sweat towel from home.
• The walking track has two lanes, an inside lane and an outside lane. The space for the middle lane is for passing only. One person is allowed in each of the two outside lanes.
• Some pieces of cardio equipment will be closed to maintain social distancing. This equipment will have a sign on it. Please do not use those pieces of equipment. We will rotate equipment weekly.
