City of Cumberland Parks & Recreation Department Makes Seasonal Update Announcements:

1. The Constitution Park pool opening is delayed and will remain closed

until further notice. We are preparing the Park pool and are hopeful to open

for the 2020 pool season, however we cannot do so until Governor Hogan

gives the order to open outdoor swimming pools. Once that order is given,

we must collaborate with the local health department to ensure a safe

environment for our patrons. There are a lot of unknowns at present time, but

we remain optimistic and will provide updates as they become available.

2. No pavilion use or rentals will be permitted at Constitution Park until

further notice.

3. The Summer Concert Series held annually at the Constitution Park

Amphitheater has been cancelled for May and June. An assessment will be

made in mid-June as to the remainder of the concert series.

4. The 72nd Annual Fishing Rodeo held at the Battie Mixon Fishing Area

of the C&O canal scheduled for May 30th has been cancelled and will not be

rescheduled.

5. The 97th National Marbles tournament held in Wildwood NJ, and

attended by Cumberland area marble City Champions, scheduled for the

week of June 21st, has been cancelled for this year. An online platform for

marble players ages 7 to 14 is being planned. For more information visit the

National Marbles Tournament website.

6. The City of Cumberland Independence Day Fireworks Celebration,

scheduled for July 4th, will be held as planned.

7. All City owned athletic fields remain closed until further notice. We

await future guidance from the state of Maryland relating to all sports and

group size allowed.

The City of Cumberland thanks you for your cooperation and patience during

this unprecedented time. Questions may be directed to Diane Johnson at
