Cobb residents will have some more elbow room to get outdoors and recreate as soon as Saturday.
County government spokesman Ross Cavitt said Wednesday that selected passive parks and trails will be reopened, including the Noonday Creek Trail and Ebenezer Downs Park and Hyde Farm in East Cobb.
What won’t be open are East Cobb Park, Mabry Park and other parks with playground facilities, as well as parks with sporting fields.
