May 20th, 2020- Due to the impact of COVID-19 and the Governor’s “5-Phase Restore Illinois Plan”, The Decatur Park District’s Midstate Soccer Club is officially concluding the spring season on May 28 and holding free virtual tryouts for the fall season. In addition, The Decatur Park District’s canceling the Decatur Youth Baseball and Softball Leagues for the 2020 season.
Registration refunds for the Youth Baseball and Softball Leagues will be processed in the following weeks. If a participant’s address has changed since registration, email Cortney at cbenton@decparks.com.
Refunds for a portion of Midstate’s spring session will be processed in the following weeks. Any Midstate training or events scheduled for June/July will be limited to less than 10 people per session. Social distancing will be practiced along with increased sanitation of equipment.
The District continues to monitor the CDC, IDPH, and Macon County Health Department for guidance on reopening additional park amenities. Open greenspace, parks and trails, golf courses, disc golf courses and tennis/pickleball courts continue to be accessible to the public at this time. Please note that users may find limited access to public restrooms and water fountains. Do not use parks or trails if you are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms or been in contact with anyone experiencing symptoms.
This guidance is current as of today but is a fluid and evolving situation changing by the day as incremental reopening guidelines are released. The District will continue to monitor any changes to the Restore Illinois Plan that may affect these decisions.
