Update Aug. 10, 2021:
At this time, Franklin County has been ranked a high transmission area by the CDC. That means masks are recommended indoors and in crowded areas regardless of vaccination status. Franklin County Public Health has also issued a mask advisory until further notice recommending everyone wear a mask indoors and in crowded areas regardless of vaccine status to stop the spread of COVID-19 and the Delta variant.

Signage will be posted as a reminder. As we have done throughout the pandemic, we will continue to prioritize your quality of life by providing a clean and safe environment.
Original Update:
We are excited to welcome you back into the DCRC and at our outdoor pools under more normal operations this summer. Over the past year, we have built brand new reservation systems, adhered to capacity restrictions and provided a safe environment for our members and staff. Thank you for your contribution to keeping our facilities open!
On May 12, 2021, Governor DeWine announced that most public health orders would be lifted June 2, including face coverings protocols, social distancing guidelines, and capacity restrictions. On May 17, new health orders were released lifting restrictions on physical distancing and mask wearing for those individuals who have been fully vaccinated. Our Recreation Services staff has evaluated logistical requirements to align with those changes and has determined our staffing requirements to return our operations as close to normal as possible.
We are excited to announce our plans for continuing to operate safely with our members and employees’ safety at the forefront.
Beginning Saturday, May 29:
- Face coverings are no longer required in the DCRC or at the outdoor pools for fully vaccinated individuals; unvaccinated individuals are required to continue wearing face coverings while practicing COVID-19 safety protocols. Any member or guest is welcome to continue wearing masks for their own comfort should they choose to do so.
- Advance reservations for time blocks to use the DCRC and outdoor pools are no longer required.
