City of Edina issued the following announcement on March 17
The City of Edina will close playgrounds in all City parks beginning March 20 until further notice to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Park users are asked to stay off the fencing around play structures during the closure.
The City parks, trails and open space system remains open. Recreation users should avoid group activities, group play such as games on athletic fields, and adhere to social distancing and appropriate hygiene practices.
Before playgrounds reopen, the situation will be evaluated. The City will continue to follow Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) recommendations.

- Wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds using soap and hot water.
- Cover your cough and sneezes.
- Avoid touching your face, eyes, mouth and nose.
- Stay home if you aren’t feeling well.
