Although we’ve already given you details on how theme parks will likely need to operate and how restaurants can start opening up this week with 25% capacity, now, Desantis has announced that state parks will open again this upcoming week.

Starting May 4th, Governor Ron DeSantis will be reopening state parks as part of his plan to bring tourism back into the economy of the state according to WCTV.

While there will be certain guidelines in place to promote safe visitation, the Florida State Parks Foundation CEO Julia Gill Woodward has stated that “At this time of incredible stress in the lives of so many people, beginning to reopen the parks allows our residents and visitors to spend quality time outdoors in a safe environment.”
