PHOENIX – For the first time in five months, athletic fields in Phoenix parks will be available for reservation starting Thursday.
The City Council last week approved the reopening of the reservable fields, which were closed April 2 to combat the spread of COVID-19.
Participants, coaches, officials and spectators will have to follow health safety protocols at the venues.
Spectators, officials and coaches will be required to wear face masks, spectators must stay at least 6 feet away from the fields, and no more than 48 youths or 24 adults can participate on a field at one time.

- Restrooms in parks without reservable fields.
- Playgrounds.
- Basketball and volleyball courts.
- Fitness equipment.
- Ramadas and picnic tables.
- Splashpads.
