Kentucky State Parks have implemented some changes as precautionary measures to help ensure social distancing and the health and well-being of visitors and staff at all parks amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Spokesman Gil Lawson says food services are limited to carry out only. No food will be served in restaurant dining rooms, and lounges and bars are closed.
In addition, he says historic homes and museums remain open per winter and springs schedules; however, all scheduled park events have been canceled or postponed through April 30th.
According to Lawson, these decisions were made by the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet in conjunction with the Department of Parks as part of the Commonwealth’s ongoing effort to ensure the health and wellness of the public as the state fights aggressively to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Lawson notes all Kentucky State Parks remain open to the public. Park visitors are encouraged to check the Kentucky State Parks website for information relating to park services and hours of operation prior to visiting.
