All state parks closed

BY JENNIFER CABRERA

According to the @FLStateParks Twitter account, all state parks are closed, effective today. The announcement says the parks are closed at the direction of Governor Ron DeSantis and to uphold CDC guidance.

Florida State Parks have “taken many measures to continue providing resource recreation at our state parks, such as limiting operating hours and reducing visitor capacity. Unfortunately, this has not resulted in the reductions needed to best protect public health.”
