Town playgrounds close in an effort to slow COVID-19 spread
Due to the increase in Dallas County COVID-19 cases, the Town of Sunnyvale has made the decision to close all Town park playgrounds, basketball courts and outdoor seating areas until further notice.
The health and safety of those within our community is of utmost importance, as are implementing preventative measures to slow the rapid spread of COVID-19.
While areas of Town parks are closed, it is still encouraged that you engage in outdoor activities in and around your neighborhood. Town trails and green spaces remain open; however, the order requires social distancing while using these spaces.
Outdoor activity ideas:
- Fly a kite
- Blow bubbles
- Scavenger hunt
- Sidewalk chalk art
- Take a walk
- Gardening
- Ride bikes
Relief for small businesses available
House Bill 6074, passed by Congress, has been signed into law by the President. It will provide $20 million to the Small Business Administration (SBA) for disaster relief. SBA provides low-interest, long-term loans for physical and economical damage caused by a declared disaster.
SBA has granted Texas' Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) assistance declaration, making loans available statewide to small businesses and private, non-profit organizations to help alleviate economic injury caused by COVID-19.
Small businesses who believe they may be eligible for an SBA EIDL should visit the SBA's website.
