Bicycle Sundays![]() In past years, the program begins the first weekend of May and runs on Sundays through that month, as well as Sundays in June and again in September. But with some recreational activities off limits because of the coronavirus pandemic, the county is keeping part of the Bronx River Parkway off limits for an additional two months, Latimer said during his daily briefing. Bicycle Sundays, which in past years draws about 60,000 participants annually, allows people to either bike, walk or jog on a 13.1 mile loop on the parkway from White Plains to Yonkers. Latimer said there is no indication the event has led to the further spread of COVID-19. Since the first bicycling event May 3, there has been a steady drop in new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in Westchester, Latimer said. The hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday and it typically concludes for the year at the end of September. 4 County Pools to Open this Summer, Playland Pool to Remain Closed![]() Latimer said with some restrictions in place due to COVID-19, the pools at Saxon Woods Park in White Plains and Sprain Ridge Park in Yonkers would open June 26 and the pools at Tibbetts Brook Park in Yonkers and Willson's Woods Park in Mount Vernon would open July 3, Latimer said. The pool at Playland Park must stay closed because it is near a beachfront, Latimer said, which is following state requirements. The beach at Playland is open, though the amusement park remains closed because of state guidelines. The pool facilities must only fill to 50 percent maximum occupancy, Latimer said. There will be two public pool sessions daily: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and then again 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. after an hour of disinfecting is performed, Latimer said. "It will be first come, first serve entry," Latimer said. Social distancing must continue and masks must be worn when a person can't stay six feet away from another. Masks are not required while in the pool, Latimer said. Some features at the pools, including slides and aqua parks, will be off-limits, Latimer said. He added that concession stands and locker rooms will not be open, but restrooms will be available and constantly sanitized. 2 County Beaches are Open![]() The two county beaches have been open to county residents only. On June 26, those two county-owned beaches will follow their typical summer schedules. Croton Point Park beach will be open Thursday-Sunday and Playland beach will be open every day but Monday.
