City opens Kedron pools and gym — 

Covid-19’s social distancing rules have claimed another victim: The iconic Peachtree City 4th of July parade with a twilight fireworks show.

Both the parade and fireworks have been postponed until Monday, Sept. 7, Labor Day, Mayor Vanessa Fleisch announced Monday.

Meanwhile, the city re-opened the Kedron Fieldhouse and Aquatic Center Monday. You can shoot some hoops — but no half- or full-court play — and have some solo pickleball sessions.

Only swimmers — pre-showered before you get there — will be allowed in pool area, except for parents watching their own children.

Here’s the full set of rules:

Gym hours are noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. “Basketball restrictions include shooting only, no half/full court or one-on-one play, maximum of three players at each basket, one-hour sessions, and please bring your own ball,” says the city’s Updates newsletter.

Pickleball is available for singles play only, and that means two players on the court for one-hour sessions with two waiting players on the bleachers.

Pool hours are noon to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Here are the rules:
