in the era of COVID-19 and social distancing, some of the activity has been worrying city staff and elected officials. On Friday, officials in Auburn decided to close a number of city parks, playgrounds, basketball courts, and athletic fields due to large groups of people using them in close proximity. Lewiston officials had already closed the basketball courts and skatepark at Kennedy Park for the same reason, and on Friday afternoon, the city closed its tennis courts at the Franklin Pasture Complex after dozens of people were on site Thursday. The rest of the school district’s athletic fields had already been closed.
