City of Fremont Facilities Closed to the Public through May 31, 2020

India Post News Service
City of Fremont facilities remain closed through May 31, 2020. This aligns with the April 29, 2020, Shelter In Place Order, issued by the Alameda County Public Health Department, in coordination with six bay area counties and the City of Berkeley, announced for residents in the Bay Area to stay home through May 31, 2020 to help slow the spread and reduce future impact on local hospitals from Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Given some of the updated regulations in the new Order, the City will continue to publish regular updates for the community.

A list of updated essential City services our departments and divisions will be providing to the public through May 31, 2020 is available on our webpage. The City will continue to evaluate its essential City services delivery and adjust accordingly through May 31, 2020.

Current closures include:

• Drinking Fountains
• Picnic Tables
• Dog Park
• Tennis/Basketball/Sand Volleyball Courts
• Skate Park

Central Park parking lot closures will continue, but will be eased restricting the overall parking capacity by 45% versus the prior 60%. The Alameda County Health Officer has directed that City facilities must comply with social distancing and health/safety protocols to reduce crowding and risk of transmission of COVID-19. The City of Fremont cannot ensure social distancing requirements and the shared equipment or physical contact restrictions between participants.

All City parks currently remain open for walking and hiking. Additional closures will be evaluated and may be implemented at other parks, as needed.

The City of Fremont continues to encourage residents to stay local by walking, jogging, or biking through one’s neighborhood rather than driving to larger regional parks. The current Shelter in Place Order is meant to encourage social/physical distancing of 6 feet, only use vehicles for essential activities, and to stay physically active by taking walks or runs in your neighborhood with people who live in your immediate household.
