Park Programming Remains On Hold

Officials with the Jamestown Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department said due to the continued state of emergency and New York state’s directive of “New York on PAUSE” being extended to May 15, all parks programming remain on hold. “All typical spring activity is currently on hold until we know when we’re able to resume park functions and gathering of larger groups of people,” said Julia Ciesla-Hanley, recreation coordinator. “It is our intention, if given approval for these types of activities by the state, that we will still try to offer recreation opportunities to the public this summer.” Programs that remain impacted include: city rec youth baseball sign-ups and season are postponed indefinitely; adult softball league sign-ups and season are postponed indefinitely; and pavilion rentals are suspended until Monday, May 18. No other facility rentals, including tournaments, will be allowed until after May 18.
