River Prairie in Altoona makes physical distancing in public a little easier.

Splish! Splash! River Prairie Park’s stream is now open for the summer! Kiddos can spend the day splashing in the stream. All visitors are expected to follow social distancing guidelines. Altoona City Administrator Mike Golat said they have painted social distancing circles in the grass to help define spaces for individuals and families. Besides being cognizant of spreading coronavirus, families should beware of bacteria and parasites in the water, and try not to swallow stream water or swim with open wounds.
