PITTSBURGH, Pa - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District is announcing that select facilities at district-managed sites will open Memorial Day weekend for the 2020 recreation season in alignment states' guidelines.

Local facilities in the Valley include Berlin Lake, Mosquito Creek Lake and Shenango River Lake. 

While boat launches and trails have always remained open, parking and picnic areas will open Memorial Day weekend at the district's recreation sites.

As for playgrounds, offices, visitors' centers and public beaches, they are expected to open or close in accordance with OH/PA guidelines and their ability to provide a safe environment. 

Protecting the safety of the public and our staff is Pittsburgh District's top priority. As the district continues evaluating a return to full operations, amenities may be limited at each site and all closures are subject to change.

The district will continue to assess each recreation site throughout the season and open or close amenities as necessary to reduce the spread of coronavirus.
