All visitors age ten and over at any Franklin County Metro Park are now required to wear a facemask.  

The new mandate also applies to all employee. There are exemptions for visitors who are medically or developmentally unable to wear a mask. The requirement is an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, and comes after Governor Mike DeWine recently updated the state mask mandate.
