“The social distancing circles, which will be in four San Francisco parks in advance of Memorial Day, is a pilot program similar to what NYC Parks has implemented in Brooklyn’s Domino Park,” Tamara Aparton with the San Francisco Recreation and Park department tells ABC. “Like masks and signage, we hope the circles will serve as another visual reminder to use our parks safely by social distancing.”
The four sites with social distancing circles include: Dolores Park, Little Marina, Washington Square, and Jackson Playground which will be completed today.
