Due to the Statewide Public Health Order (Stay-at-Home Order) amended by Governor Ivey on Friday, April 3, 2020, the city will be extending the park usage guidelines outlined below until further notice.

City parks that have walking tracks or nature trails are to be used for walking and jogging only, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. EDT, daily. It is important to note that the only portions of the parks that are open are the tracks and trails. All other areas of the parks are prohibited from use. All persons utilizing these areas do so at their own risk and must maintain a consistent six-foot distance. If persons cannot adhere to these measures, the city will make the decision to close all parks for the safety of the community.

Available tracks and trails:

Lakewood Park Walking Track
Meadowlane Park Walking Track
Moon Lake Walking Track
Moon Lake Nature Trail
Phenix City Riverwalk
Southside Park Nature Trail

As a reminder, all city playgrounds, pavilions, athletic facilities, and recreation centers continue to remain closed.

We appreciate the patience and understanding of the community during this uncertain time, and we look forward to seeing you soon. Please visit the COVID-19 section of our website for the latest updates regarding Parks and Recreation, as well as other city facilities.
