The Park's common areas, furnishings & play equipment are thoroughly cleaned daily/nightly, at a minimum, with disinfectant solutions recommended for commercial facilities.
​
In addition to the professional cleaning each night, the Park's owners & Park Attendants clean high-use areas (such as restrooms, the picnic area, entrances, benches, etc.) throughout the day.

Despite our significant efforts to maintain a clean Park, an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 & other contagious viruses or illnesses exists in any public place where people are present. By playing at Good Times Park, customers assume all risks related to contagious viruses & illnesses.

Persons may enter the Park only after entering their entrance code into the key pad by the interior entry door. Paid admission is required for each child who enters the Park.
