Travis County Parks to Close for Holiday

Travis County Parks Twitter account announced that parks will be closing for the 4th of July holiday to slow the spread of Covid-19:

Travis County Parks will close all parks in its system starting Thur, July 2, 2020 at 8 p.m. and re-open on Tue, July 7, 2020 at 8 a.m. Should the threat of COVID-19 continue to rise, the park system may remain closed beyond this date until further notice.
