Marietta Pools And Parks Open Monday With Restrictions

MARIETTA, GA — Parks in Marietta and throughout Cobb County will reopen most of their facilities to residents beginning Monday, including outdoor playgrounds, restroom facilities, and aquatic centers.

Many of these facilities will have public health restrictions in place that will help maintain recommended social distancing, according to the park.

Following Gov. Brian Kemp’s orders, Cobb PARKS is working with associations and athletic organizations to formulate COVID-19 response plans that will allow organized games to resume when their plans are approved.

This could be as early as mid-June.

Parks rentals are still not available, but plans are underway to restart them soon. Night lighting at some facilities may not be immediately available, but will be phased-in over the next several weeks.

The number of people using aquatic centers will be limited and swim lessons will not take place due to social distancing guidelines. Lanes will be available to rent for those wishing to secure a time.
