Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly issued Executive Order 20-34 to move the state into a modified Phase 2 of the "Ad Astra: A Plan to Reopen Kansas" beginning Friday, May 22. 

In Spring Hill, this means all City playgrounds will open. If you plan to use our playgrounds, please keep your distance of at least six feet; wash your hands after use and please do not visit our playgrounds if you are sick or have been sick within the last 14 days. At this time, City facilities remain closed to the public.

Key changes to Phase 2:

• Mass gatherings of more than 15 individuals will be prohibited;
• All businesses and activities slated to open during Phase 2 will be allowed, with the exception of bars, night clubs and swimming pools. These will be moved to Phase 3;
• Businesses and activities that will be allowed to open in Phase 2 include:
• Recreational organized sports facilities, tournaments and practices will be allowed to begin on Friday, May 22, and must adhere to social distancing requirements and follow Parks and Recs guidelines, which can be found on covid.ks.gov;
• Community Centers will be allowed to open, except for indoor and outdoor swimming pools;
• Indoor leisure spaces such as arcades, trampoline parks, theaters, museums and bowling allies will be allowed to open on May 22;

• In-person group exercise classes will be allowed to begin with groups of no more than 15 at a time. Locker rooms remain closed except for restroom facilities;
• Everything opened in Phase 1 and Phase 1.5 remains open pursuant to the restrictions outlined in Executive Order 20-34.
