Today, the Howell Township Office of Emergency Management sent a notice to All Township Residents that effective immediately all Township Parks were to be CLOSED.

The letter cited a recent uptick in COVID cases combined with the large number of complaints being received that the parks were filled to capacity with individuals who were not social distancing or wearing masks.

The letter went on to remind any individual not adhering to this closing, could face a fine under the local state of Emergency and Executive order 107.
