Skate Park Closure
Due to an increase in local and statewide cases of COVID-19, the Deerfield Park District implemented a face-covering requirement at the newly renovated skate park at Jewett Park on July 29, 2020. Since that time, park district staff and the Deerfield Police have worked together to inform park users of the requirement.
Unfortunately, the compliance level is minimal and personal requests from district staff and police have been met with resistance. As a result, the skate park will be closed until further notice. This is very unfortunate for the persons who were compliant. Park District staff will work with local officials on a way to reopen the park in a safer manner in the future.
