We’ve Compiled A List Of Where Playgrounds Have Reopened
Last week, the California Department of Public Health gave the go-ahead for outdoor playgrounds around the state to reopen with safety precautions.
If you live in, say, Santa Ana, where jungle gyms have been open since June 29, that might seem like old news, but as of Monday some Los Angeles city parks were still cocooned in chain-link fences and caution tape.
One of our readers asked if we could keep track of what’s open and what’s not. We started with the counties and the largest cities in the greater L.A. metro area and we’ll update our list as we find out more information.
