Get some exercise — it helps us physically and mentally
The current shelter in place requirement can make us feel stressed. It is well known that exercise helps relieve stress and is good for our bodies. Seattle Parks and Recreation has good information on ways to get exercise safely.
Here is a link to the Parks Department information.
Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) encourages everyone to follow public health guidelines and to practice social distancing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. While our community centers and pools are currently closed, SPR parks, open spaces, and trails are currently open (with the exception of the Japanese Garden and the Volunteer Park Conservatory).
Community members are welcome to use our park spaces but please do not congregate, and we ask that you please follow public health guidelines. According to Public Health – Seattle & King County, close contact between people should be avoided (social distancing means staying 6 feet or at least arm’s length away from others).
This link is outdated – many parks are closed.
My understanding is that parking lots were closed but those parks remain open.
