Marin County is closing all of its parks due to the Coronavirus

As the County will be expecting summer crowds, the Marin County announced is closing all of its parks, including Point Reyes National Seashore, Muir Woods National Monument, and Point Bonita Lighthouse.

Sgt. Brenton Schneider of the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said “This is creating unsafe conditions for employees working at businesses that are staying open because they are deemed essential. Those workers are being overwhelmed and they are fearful about all the close contact that they’re witnessing.”

One day after scolding the public for packing its beaches and parks despite a statewide shelter-in-place order due to the coronavirus pandemic, Marin County on Sunday announced it was closing all of its parks.

On Saturday, Marin County Fire posted images of Stinson Beach packed with people and the little town of Dillon Beach mired by gridlock traffic. The state and health experts advise people to keep 6 feet of distance from others at all times.

“We understand the communities’ frustration with the LARGE amount of people traveling to the Coast today and NOT adhering to the Shelter Order,” the fire department tweeted. “The influx of people is putting our vulnerable residents at risk. Please stay at home!”
