City of Saginaw issued the following announcement on  April 28

Out of an abundance of caution during this coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, Saginaw officials closed City facilities and public playground equipment to the public beginning March 20, 2020. During this time, a majority of City of Saginaw employees have been working at the facilities during the closure.

With the signing of the most recent Texas State Governor’s Executive Order on Monday, April 27, 2020, the following is the City of Saginaw’s plan for a gradual opening.
