Freeholders
issue statement regarding the reopening of county parks and golf courses
FREEHOLD, NJ – On behalf of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen
Freeholders, Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone and County Park liaison
Freeholder Lillian G. Burry issued the following statement regarding the
reopening of county parks and golf courses:
“We are glad that the Governor
heeded our plea to reconsider the closure of county parks and golf courses in
New Jersey. The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders has felt,
throughout this entire pandemic, that our County parks are essential for our
residents' mental health and a great choice for passive recreation.
We
trust that our residents will continue to practice social distancing as they
are permitted to reenter the parks and golf courses this weekend. We are happy
that our residents will be able to take advantage of the beautiful weather
expected this weekend by enjoying a walk, bike ride or a round of golf in
Monmouth County.”
