Delaware State Park Nature Centers to temporarily close starting Dec. 14th

DELAWARE – The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control announced on Friday that it will close all nature centers within Delaware State Parks to limit the spread of COVID-19.

We’re told the closure will take effect this coming Monday, December 14th, and continue through January 11th, 2021.

No in-person programming will be held at Delaware State Parks while the nature centers are closed, to eliminate gatherings of people from different households. Delaware State Parks will instead offer independent, online programming, such as self-guided hikes, online activities and videos while nature centers are closed.

This closure comes after Governor John Carney’s latest stay-at-home advisory, which was issued to “interrupt the dangerous winter surge of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Delaware.”
