The Johnny Appleseed Metropollitan Park District now has a date to open the Ottawa Metro Park Campgrounds, but it won't be open in time for Memorial Day weekend. Although the state has allowed campgrounds to open tomorrow, the Ottawa Metro Park campgrounds will open next Wednesday, May 27, at noon. The deputy director of the park district said they felt this was a good date because it gives employees enough time to prepare and get all the necessary checks and cleaning done. Spaces will be given on a first come first serve basis. They ask you to maintain social distancing and groups must be ten people or less.
