That\u2019s our top priority,\u201d I had hoped we could keep the parks open but the spread of COVID-19 is too big of a threat to the health of our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith warmer weather, our parks are becoming more and more crowded,\u201d said St. Louis County Parks Director Tom Ott. \u201cDuring this health crisis, we cannot allow large groups of people to be together in one place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several steps will be taken to make sure the public is aware of the park closings. They include placing barricades at park entrances that are not already gated and electronic message boards on streets that lead to entrances of Creve Coeur Lake Park, Jefferson Barracks Park, Lone Elk Park and Grant\u2019s Trail. The county Parks Department will collaborate with Great Rivers Greenway to barricade and provide signage for the trail networks in County parks.<\/p>\n<p>The primary mode of enforcement will be goodwill and common sense. If needed, park rangers and County Police will patrol parks to ensure compliance.The county parks will remain closed through at least April 22 to correspond with the stay at home order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>County Executive Dr. Sam Page Orders All County Parks Closed County Executive Dr. Sam Page has ordered all St. Louis County parks closed to slow the spread of COVID-19.
