BFR taking extra precautions
In response to the COVID-19 developments, Bluffton Family Recreation, 215 Snider Road, is taking extra precautions to protect the health of everyone who visits BFR.
"Since the beginning of the week we have stepped up our cleaning procedures throughout the building. We ask that you join us in this effort by wiping down each piece of equipment after use," said Daniel Tinch, BFR executive director.
"In addition, you will notice multiple bottles of hand sanitizer throughout the facility. We ask that you use our hand sanitizer after entering and upon leaving the facility," he added.
"We ask that after using the restroom please wash your hands thoroughly. If you see anything that is concerning please notify a staff member."
All programs will continue except water classes
All programs will continue to be offered with the exception of our water classes.
Maple Crest is limiting access to the building based on recommendation put forth by the CDC and Ohio Department of Health. We will continue to update our message as we learn more and will post additional updates on our Facebook page.
