County forest preserves to close more parking lots for Memorial Day weekend: ‘Enjoy the natural world in your backyard’

Dan Ryan Woods and Schiller Woods will join a list of six sites that have already seen their parking lots closed due to concerns around social distancing and following public health guidelines.

 Nam Y. Huh/APThe Cook County Forest Preserves officials announced Monday that they plan to close additional parking lots for the Memorial Day weekend in an effort to curb
crowding.
Dan Ryan Woods and Schiller Woods will join a list of six sites that have already seen their parking lots closed over the weeends due to concerns about social distancing and other public health guidelines. 
The parking lots at the other six preserves — Busse Woods, Maple Lake, Saganashkee Slough, Catherine Chevalier Woods, LaBagh Woods and Bunker Hill — were already closed Fridays through Sundays in April and will remain closed on Memorial Day itself, a statement from the county agency said.
In that statement, Arnold Randall, forest preserves general superintendent, said Memorial Day is a “time when we pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country” — but this year that tribute might look different.
“As an unofficial start to summer, the holiday is always one of our busiest weekends in the Forest Preserves,” Randall’s statement reads in part. “This year, that’s not a safe way to celebrate. We hope that with Memorial Day at Home, our patrons will find other creative ways to honor the fallen and to be with family.”
The forest preserves are urging people to order in from a local restaurant, “enjoy the natural world in your backyard or neighborhood” or post a photo of an “impressive or intriguing barbeque or family meal” on Instagram and tag the county’s forest preserve arm.

    That's it, keep them all in their own back yards. I can't wait for next Tuesday to see the holiday weekend shooting numbers

    It seems the real experts are saying the Rona is much less likely to spread while outdoors. It seems the democRats are more than slightly out of touch.

      Allocated the money to a new Tahoe since hers got stuck/abandoned in the middle of the forest preserves loaded with Kim Foxx campaign literature, just guessing

      Because white people are the only ones who enjoyed them.

    The only way to face something is to go through it, not hide from it. Not in my 50 plus years has the government ever cared about my life, why start now? Leave me the fuck alone with my God given free rights. What in the hell can a multi billionaire governor relate to what my life is like?

    Indiana is open for business, spend your money someplace other than Illinois.
