General Overview
The City of Akron Recreation and Parks Division is excited to welcome back programming and visitors to our community centers. The safety of our visitors and staff members is our highest priority. We will have safety guidelines and procedures in place for all of our centers that are based on the guidance of the Ohio Department of Health’s Responsible Restart Ohio, the Summit County Public Health department, and City of Akron policies.
Keeping You Safe

- Stay home if you have a fever, are sick or not feeling well, or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
- Participants involved with City of Akron Recreation and Parks programs will need to review and sign the program waiver and health addendum waiver before participating.
