As the Pandemic continued to affect our communities, getting outside and exploring local Parks was the best option to not be cooped-up in your home. With this new way of life for many reasons our Parks were getting very busy and we also saw the closure of local businesses. Seeing our local businesses close their doors and the need to get creative in finding new ways to connect with their customers, we decided to pilot a âPints in the Parkâ event schedule. Giving local breweries the chance to partner with Erie County Parks and host safe, fun, COVID-friendly events in our Parks seemed like a no-brainer. We partnered with three local breweries on this pilot plan.
