Mangano Announces Closing of Parks For Mosquito Spraying

Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano announces that all of the County’s parks will close on the nights of Wednesday, August 11, and Thursday, August 12, beginning at 7 p.m., due to the mosquito-control aerial spraying taking place both nights in Nassau County. The spraying is designed to help control mosquitoes that may carry the West Nile virus.

The County’s outdoor pools will naturally shut down earlier as part of the process, and the regularly scheduled Thursday night movie at Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park is cancelled. Movie nights will resume at the regularly scheduled time (dusk) next Thursday, August 19.
