Citizens are asked to respect the signage posted at our parks and to avoid these spaces in this ongoing effort to protect themselves and their fellow citizens. These areas are closed until further notice, and updates will be available on our website, FortWayneParks.org or at Facebook.com/FortWayneParks.
