Closures

Closures

This image shows my local park, Memorial Park, getting closed down for social distancing reasons. This image, while simple, has various feelings behind it. This park has been around for as long as I can remember and having to deal with its closure is harder than it looks. Not being able to access your childhood memories or the area where you usually exercise can have a big impact in your life, especially if it’s a place where you come to find freedom after a long day. Due to COVID-19, public areas have been closed or temporarily blocked off due to social distancing and in an attempt to stop the spread; therefore, parks like Memorial Park are off limits.
