Greensboro, NC – Following guidance from the White House, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and state and local public health authorities, Guilford Courthouse National Military Park is increasing recreational access. The National Park Service (NPS) is working servicewide with federal, state, and local public health authorities to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and using a phased approach to increase access on a park-by-park basis.

Beginning September 4, 2020, Guilford Courthouse National Military Park will reopen access to: 

• The park visitor center (lobby, information desk, exhibit area and restrooms) with a return to normal hours of operation, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm daily.

In addition, the following spaces continue to be available:   

• The 254-acre park grounds, trails and tour road, and Greensboro Greenway access are open and accessible to the public from dawn to dusk daily.

With public health in mind, the following facilities remain closed at this time:

• The visitor center theater (park film)
• The America’s National Parks retail store. (Our operational partner has suspended operations.)

The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners continues to be paramount. our operational approach continues to be centered on examining each facility function and service to ensure those operations comply with current public health guidance and are regularly monitored. We continue to work closely with the NPS Office of Public Health using CDC guidance to ensure public areas and workspaces are safe and clean.

A safe and enjoyable park experience at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park begins at home. The NPS encourages visitors to plan their visit by checking the park’s website and social media for current conditions and travel tips. The CDC has offered guidance to help people recreating in parks and open spaces prevent the spread of infectious diseases. We ask the public to be our partner in recreating responsibly, by following CDC and state and local guidance, social distancing, and wearing a face covering when social distance cannot be maintained.

Details and updates on park operations will continue to be posted on our website https://www.nps.gov/guco/index.htm and social media channels. Updates about NPS operations will be posted on www.nps.gov/coronavirus.
