Bloomfield Municipal Park System Update

The Bloomfield Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs Department announces that our municipal park system will remain open for passive recreation only. Park visitors should continue to wear face coverings and practice social distancing while visiting our parks.

All active recreation areas will remain closed until further notice. These areas include tot-lot playgrounds, baseball fields, softball fields, soccer fields, football fields, basketball courts, tennis courts and our skate park.

The Bloomfield Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs department realizes that our park’s open spaces provide and outlet for our residents to enjoy the outdoors, get some fresh air and exercise. We are working hand in hand with the Mayor & Council and government officials to design policies and protocols for a safe and full reopening of our park system when the time is appropriate.

We would like to thank all of our residents who have been practicing social distancing when utilizing our parks and appreciate all who have complied with the closure of our active recreational areas. By doing your part we have seen positive progress in the fight against COVID 19.

Thank you and be well!
