Phased Reopening for Bridgeport Parks, Associated Activities

Below please find a message from the the Bridgeport Park and Recreation Community Fund:

Bridgeport Memorial Park will begin a phased reopening on June 14, 2020.

After consulting with other local municipalities and conferring with those with specific legal and COVID-19 knowledge, we feel the following is the best practice for beginning to resume activity at the park.

While this will no doubt leave some still frustrated, the decisions made were done so with the best interest of all residents and participants.

1. On June 14th both Bridgeport Little League and the Bridgeport Cheetahs Girls Softball programs can resume. This will be done in accordance with the guidelines set by the national organizations that govern both groups. This will allow for practices only, no games, in small groups with parents, coaches and players being figured in to the maximum participant numbers.

2. Bridgeport Bocce can resume preparations for their 2020 season.

3. The tennis courts will be opened for play, maximum of four participants at any one time.

4. Basketball courts and the playground areas will remain closed until Montgomery County moves into the "green" phase of reopening.

Each of the aforementioned leagues has submitted a reopening plan to the Bridgeport Park Board in which they have made a commitment to safe and sensible guidelines under which they will begin to resume activity.

The Bridgeport Park Board thanks you for your understanding, empathizes with your frustration, and looks forward to a complete and total reopening of all amenities at our park very soon.
