With summer well underway, many Pflugerville residents are looking for socially distanced reprieve through the city's parks systems. However, during the coronavirus pandemic, several parks and recreation areas have temporarily closed in light of rising case numbers.

Pflugerville is currently listed at Stage 4 of Austin Public Health's risk-based guidelines. This level of risk calls for social distancing and face coverings, avoiding social gatherings, limiting group sizes larger than 10 people, and avoiding nonessential travel or business visits.

Per APH guidelines, the next level, Stage 5, calls for avoiding all social gatherings outside of one's household as well as limiting opened businesses to essential ones only. More information on APH's guidelines is available here.

As of July 21, here are Pflugerville's parks and recreation facilities currently open to the public for use:
