The City of Imperial has closed all playgrounds in city parks.

The closure is part of the efforts to limit exposure to the COVD-19 virus. Open space areas of the parks will remain open. Parks Superintendent Tony Lopez said , " Even though we increased our disinfecting of the equipment  , we feel with the increasing number of positive cases in our County ,it is the right thing to do. We still encourage our residents to enjoy the open space areas in our parks , but maintain their social distance from others and avoid large gatherings."
