The citizens of Lewisburg are urged to continue limiting
activity and staying at home as much as possible to preserve and build on the
health progress we’ve made. Social and
recreational gatherings of 10 people or more are prohibited. This includes but is not limited to festivals,
fairs, parades, youth and adult sporting events, and overnight summer youth
camps. Furthermore, recreational gathering venues must remain closed to the
public as well.
With this being said, the City of Lewisburg Parks and
Recreation Department will cautiously be opening different areas of the
department. Effective May 4, 2020 the
Lewisburg Recreation Center’s Ewell Butler Golf Course will reopen to the
public. Business will be conducted
through the back window at the Pro-shop and no one shall enter the
facility. There will be strict rules and
guidelines that must be followed.
All outside amenities will be open excluding playgrounds. According to Governor Lee's Executive Order
#30, social gatherings of 10 or more remain prohibited. Since there is no way for the department to
monitor all playgrounds within the City, they will remain closed until further
notice. However, all outside walking
trails and green space, New Lake, tennis courts, and golf course will be open.
While pavilions are open to the public, gatherings of 10 or more are
prohibited.
Effective May 11, 2020 the Lewisburg Recreation Center will
reopen its Fitness Room and Indoor Walking Track on a limited basis and
modified schedule to ensure that staffing is sufficient and to enable enhanced
sanitization and cleaning measures. There
will be customer screenings for illness
upon entry to the facility. The number
of customers at one time, workout lengths, and the use of equipment will be
limited and strictly enforced. All
showers and locker rooms will remain closed.
Water fountains and common areas are temporarily closed. Customers are responsible for bringing their
own water and encouraged to bring a small gym bag at this time. We recommend that all customers wear a face
covering.
Areas of the Department that will remain closed according to
Tennessee's Executive Order # 30 include
all swimming pools, hot tubs, basketball courts, racquetball courts, and other
places where formal and informal group or team sports may occur. This Executive Order remains in effect until
May 29, 2020 or until this Order is amended with additional guidelines.
