Because the risk of exposure to COVID-19 remains present, Dover Recreation is taking these steps for the safety of its patrons and staff. Anyone feeling ill or experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, fever, severe fatigue) are asked to wait to use the facility until feeling better. Patrons entering the facility are asked to take responsibility for their own protection, including the use of masks and hand washing, and to maintain social distancing practices by remaining 6 feet away from patrons not in your household.
There will be other noticeable changes to pool operations during the first phase.
