The governor of North Carolina recently declared a local state of emergency in response to Coronavirus (COVID-19), ordering K-12 public schools to be closed for two weeks and recommended additional precautions for community gatherings.
As a result, Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department will close the following locations effective Tuesday, March 17, 2020, through Friday, April 6, 2020:
- Aycock Recreation Center and Aycock Aquatic Center
- Old Aycock Gym – indoor facility
- Fox Pond Park
- All satellite sites including First Presbyterian Church and the Vance County Senior Center
All outdoor parks, excluding Fox Pond Park, will remain open.
Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks will monitor the situation and make an assessment on when it is safe to reopen some or all of the facilities.
