The city of Litchfield Park plans to reopen all city facilities Monday, June 1.

“We are working on the protocols now,” Assistant City Manager Matthew Williams said, noting that staff will return to their respective offices that Monday.

Mr. Williams didn’t know when City Council and other public meetings will transition back to in-person.

“Our May 20 council meeting will be virtual,” he said. “Not sure after that; still playing day-by-day.” The conference room at the Litchfield Park Branch Library, where many of the city’s public meetings are held, isn’t large enough to allow for the 6-foot social distancing recommendation for gatherings.

Litchfield Park officials closed public buildings in mid-March to comply with state and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance to stem the spread of COVID-19, the deadly respirator disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

In addition to City Hall, the Litchfield Park Recreation Center and pool, 100 N. Old Litchfield Road, will reopen June 1.

The pool will open at a reduced capacity to allow for social distancing and compliance with other safety guidelines, officials said.

There will be no competitive swim league or group swim lessons for children this year, but patrons will find increased public swim hours and water aerobics, city officials said.

As they await the day they can reopen, the city’s recreation team has been posting fun videos on its Facebook page, @LitchfieldParkRecCenter, including some featuring Drill Sgt. Cooper “whipping” lifeguards into shape, and the team practicing quarantine dance moves.
