The coronavirus has basically shut down the world as we’ve been living it through the years. Will there be a return to normalcy once there is a vaccine or a cure? We;ll see.
Until further notice, Clark County is announcing the additional closing of disk golf courses, tennis courts, pickleball courts, skate parks, bocce courts, horseshoe pits, handball courts, park exercise equipment, Mountains Edge Regional Park Sports Wall and The Club at Sunrise golf course due to the Governor’s Emergency Directive No. 13 issued Wednesday concerning the coronavirus.
