following rules are followed:
One person per time in cage
Each person must bring all of their own equipment; no sharing
All surfaces touched much be wiped with disinfecting wipes in between
uses

Youth sports practices may begin. Youth sports groups will follow these additional rules when using
either of the athletic fields at Kantor Park. UPDATE: Effective 6/23
Kantor Park Bathrooms are open with additional guidelines. Click HERE for guidelines. UPDATE on Playgrounds Effective 8-28-20
The following playgrounds will reopen today with additional
guidelines:
Stirling Lake, Meyersville Ballfield, Kantor Park
Additional Guidelines:
- Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before and after each use. Bring
your own hand sanitizer.
- Maintain 6’ social distancing from members at playground not in your
household.
- Wear cloth face coverings when social distancing of 6’+ cannot be
maintained.
- IF the playground is crowded, consider visiting a different location or
come back at a different time of day.
Please Note: Our decision to reopen the playgrounds does not mean the COVID-19
virus is not still a concern. If we find these guidelines are not being followed, we
will be forced to close the playgrounds once again. Everyone, please stay safe!

Our yoga instructor, Lisa Atkins, is busy adding programs to promote
relaxation and well-being through yoga.
Check out her yoga posts and newsletters linked below.

Rebel has been taking us on many
walks--primarily through Millington--her "backyard", but she would
love to hear from you about routes you have mapped out in your own
neighborhoods. (Note-all # of steps and mileage are approximate.) |
Coach Lisbona has been busy putting YouTube videos together with workouts,
fun games, and nutritious foods/snacks. Enjoy!
Something for all ages and ability levels!

On a personal note, please stay well as we all adjust to our
"new normal". You can still reach us in Recreation during our regular Town

does miss all of her visits from all of our kids. She can't wait to see everyone
again.
Make sure to keep checking our photos posted below. Please keep
letting us know how you are doing either by email, phone or on Instagram at
longhillparksrec.

Do your New Year's Resolutions include exercising more? Why
not start a walking regimen at Kantor Park? With the completion of the walkway
around the grass field; if you do a "figure 8" around the park, you will
have walked 1/2 mile. Why don't you start a challenge for yourself? Start off
with a 1/2 mile, and then try to add laps as we travel through the winter! Anyone
with a success story--please be sure to share it with us!

"I'm on a Wait List for a program. What does that
mean?"
Some of our programs have a maximum # of participants that can be
registered for any number of reasons such as physical space limitations, established
ratios between our instructors and participants, equipment/material available, etc.
If you have added your name to a wait list (always at no charge), you
will be contacted only if space becomes available. If you are still interested in the
program; your registration on the wait list will move over to the intended program, and
you will be asked to go in and apply payment to secure your spot in the program. If you
are no longer interested, we will just remove your name from the wait list and continue
on down the list.
Want to get email reminders about upcoming events in Recreation?
Make sure to sign up for Recreation "e-News" on the front page of the
township website--blue envelope icon on right.
