FELTON, Del.- The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control will reopen Killens Pond Water Park on Saturday, July 11, with measures in effect to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The water park, located south of Felton, will limit its hours and offer two sessions per day, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 2:30-6:30 p.m., and will be closed Wednesdays and Thursdays. Visitor capacity at the water park will be reduced to 30%. Guests must reserve a session online prior to visiting the water park. Tickets will not be available for purchase at the park.
As part of DNREC's effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the following protocols and procedures will also be in effect until further notice:
