Cape Parks & Rec COVID-19 Changes
At this time, Parks & Recreation facilities are currently closed, park amenities are closed (park green space & trails remain open), and programming is on hold until May 1, at a minimum. Your Cape Girardeau Parks & Recreation Department is working to reschedule as much programming as possible so as not to miss out on spring leagues & events. Some key program changes & unfortunately cancellations are listed below. For a complete list of program changes, cancellations & pertinent staff contact information, visit our website here. All dates are subject to change. Please contact our staff with any questions at 573.339.6340 or parks@cityofcape.org
The Summer PLAY CAPE! program guide is set to be released on April 17 with all the fun summer opportunities we’re offering! Follow our @CapeParks Facebook page to get access to the program guide on April 17, or pick up a copy at one of our facilities when we reopen!
