Kinston-Lenoir County Parks and Recreation closing all facilities

Kinston-Lenoir County Parks and Recreation will close its facilities on Monday, March 16 at noon until further notice. Posted on the Parks and Recreation’s Facebook page, Director Corey Povar called for the closures to keep people from gathering in an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19.

“We want to do what we can to keep everyone safe,” said Povar. This comes a day after Governor Roy Cooper closed North Carolina Public School Systems. This will include all of Kinston-Lenoir County Parks and Recreation facilities, including the Planetarium and Neuseway Nature Center.
