MANSFIELD — Following the recent announcement of re-opening orders by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, Kingwood Center Gardens has announced its intentions to open most of its facilities and historic buildings on Wednesday, June 17.
“We are working to comply with all the operational recommendations and mandates,” stated Rachel Peterson, Marketing and Communications Coordinator of Kingwood Center Gardens. “Restrictions on distancing will require that the Display Greenhouse remain closed due to the narrow walkways. The Peacock Playhouse will also remain closed due to regulations for children’s play areas.”
To make visitors a safer, hand sanitizing stations have been added, cleaning procedures updated, capacity limits monitored, face coverings worn by staff, and distancing reminders posted.
“Please keep in mind that the Garden Gateway construction site is active and encompasses nearly 10 acres.” Peterson said in a press release. “During your visit you will be able to get a glimpse of the progress, but from a safe distance. Kingwood looks forward to celebrating the grand opening of the Garden Gateway in mid-October.”
Re-opening criteria has been ever-changing, so before your visit and to stay informed about opening announcements, visit Kingwood’s website at kingwoodcenter.org or phone 419-522-0211.
