The Newtown Parks and Rec Department is making plans for how to safely open Eichler’s Cove Marina for the season.  Tri-state governors have given the OK for marinas to open, though no chartered watercraft services or rentals will be allowed.  Parks and Recreation Director Amy Mangold told the Newtown Bee that the marina will open May 9th.  Wardens patrolling the area will follow strict social distancing protocols and will inform patrons of the guidelines.  To discourage people from congregating, the picnic area and beach at Eichler’s Cove Marina will not open.  Only people who have purchased passes, launch keys and slips will be allowed to enter the marina and there will be added sanitization measures in place.  Wardens and security guards will be at the marina 24 hours a day
