This month, Wayne Department of Public Works employees used yellow caution tape to prevent the use of the playscapes in city parks. The play structures could easily harbor the coronavirus and infect children with COVID 19, state health officials said, and the climbing structures, swings and other features were taped off to protect children from the virus which can live on hard surfaces. According to the Wayne Facebook page, “We do not have the resources to sanitize the playscapes. For your own safety, please do not go on the playscapes.” The city has posted signs, warning parents of the danger of the virus and explaining the closures.” Photo by Sean Rhaesa
