WESTPORT – The city has announced that sports fields are now open to the general public, unless the field has been reserved by someone licensed by the Parks and Recreation Department.
“In addition to opening the fields to the general public, the department is working closely with local organizations like Westport Little League, Staples High School Athletics and Continuing Education to get everyone back to the game as quickly as possible while making sure that they have the appropriate protocols and self-certification in place to meet state requirements, ”Jennifer Fava, director of parks and recreation, said Thursday in a press release.
She said the process would also unfold with leagues and other groups that use the city’s facilities to hold various summer programs. Collection sizes are now limited to 100, she said, while PJ Romano and Ginny Parker fields remain closed due to construction.
On Thursday, Fava said, the driving range and practice area at the Longshore golf course are open. Practice balls will only be available for payment at the ball machine, she said. The fee is $ 6 per basket and cash is required.
Starting June 23, an additional half hour of departure hours from 7:30 a.m. will be available Monday through Thursday.
“Social distancing and face covering rules must be followed at all facilities at Westport Parks and Recreation,” the press release said.
