Creative Distancing
Consultation has concluded
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our city, the nation, and the world in unprecedented ways, both in our immediate behavior, but also for design considerations for long-range planning. For months, we were not able to use our beloved DPR parks and still cannot fully access all of the amenities in our parks or the rec centers and typical programming and summer camps we are used to. It is critical that as we come out of our stay at home order and more of us begin visiting our favorite parks and green spaces again that we maintain a safe social distance to protect the most vulnerable among us.
As part of our Ready2Play plan, we want to hear how the current pandemic, and especially the time of our recent Stay at Home order, have impacted the way that you've used and experienced public space or have witnessed public space being used by others. We also want to gather any ideas you have now that we will be living in a post-Covid world on how you think the pandemic will and should impact future design considerations for parks, playgrounds, rec centers and other amenities going forward.
If you were able to find new ways to safely use and enjoy public or semi-public space for outdoor recreation during the Stay at Home, or if you have ideas on future design and planning considerations for parks and recreation in a post-Covid world, we want to hear from you!
Where do you practice #CreativeDistancing?
Let us know how you are using and experiencing public space in new ways during Covid-19. Drop a pin to a location and add a photo or comment about how you or others are using that space while maintaining 6 feet of separation.
- Click on the (+) on the top left side of the map.
- Select the pin and drag it onto the map, dropping it at the correct location. (Note: you can also find a location by using the search tool in the upper right side of the map if you know the address. Just make sure you then drag your pin to that location).
- Fill out the questions that pop-up and upload a photo if you have one.
- Submit your pin.
- Repeat steps 1-4 to leave additional pins. You can leave as many pins in the map as you'd like!
- Have fun!
