Diamond Bar Picnic Areas Are Now Open

Starting Monday, November 16, 2020 outdoor picnic areas will be available for use for small private gatherings following the latest guidance from the Los Angeles County Public Health Department.

In order to use the picnic areas, individuals must not be exhibiting any signs or symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing) and must comply with the following safety and courtesy requirements:  

• Private gatherings that include persons from no more than three households that interact regularly.

• Private gatherings should be limited to two hours or less in duration.
• Physical distancing of at least six feet must be maintained from non-household members.

• A face covering must be worn while singing or chanting, including anyone who is leading a song or chant, and everyone must maintain 8-10 feet of physical distance from others.
