“We will continue to make updates each week or even more frequently when appropriate,” Gilley said. “Our department is continuing to follow Governor Lee’s Recovery Strategies, while also seeking guidance from the National Recreation and Parks Association and other park related agencies. We are in daily discussions and on multiple calls each days with agencies across the state and the nation and we feel comfortable that the decisions we are making are in line and appropriate. Thank you all for your patience as we work through these times. We will all get through this together.”
