The parks were closed.

Right but not after they started opening. When I went to Belmar last weekend, the boardwalk was open but no place to pee.

They were probably afraid they couldn’t control how many people went in at the same time. And then they would need someone to disinfect after every person.

probably because of the need for employees to clean the bathrooms. i wonder if the staff that would normally do that are getting paid to do nothing now.

I believe the article from yesterday said restrooms in parks would reopen on May 22 at the same time as the beaches.

No, rather than a golf course opening.

Murphy’s friends would be pretty annoyed if they couldn’t golf this summer. If you’re lucky, you might see salons open by October at this rate.

I believe at least part of the reason was to discourage people from staying in the park too long, and also to discourage people who might be driving to the park from outside the local area.

I saw people playing golf yesterday on my way back from grocery shopping. It was actually quite startling. I cut and dye my own hair, so I'm set .

I want to go to a baseball game but god knows when that will happen. My favorite lobster shack opened for takeout last weekend, so at least there's that to look forward to.
