from Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr.

“Unfortunately, Essex County leads the state in the number of deaths caused by the Coronavirus. Our fight against this deadly disease is far from over and we must remain vigilant and aggressive to combat it. Testing is a critical tool that will tell us exactly how widespread the virus is and who has been infected.

​Whether you are exhibiting symptoms of the Coronavirus or not, we encourage residents to make an appointment and get tested. We want to make it as easy as possible for Essex residents to have access to testing. The Weequahic site has been hugely successful and offering other satellite testing sites will make getting tested more convenient."

As you are aware this situation with the Covid-19 pandemic is fluid and constantly changing. We will provide updates to the usage of the fields as necessary. The choices we make daily directly impact our ability to move foward with our fall sports.

The Fairfield Police are patrolling the park as well to assist the parks department in making sure people are complying with staying off of the fields. Do not jump the fence at the turf field (it’s not just kids).

​The walking path remains open. Practice social distancing and wear your masks when necessary. We all have to work together.
