Special to the Daily After a challenging year, the Avon Recreation Center is free of its restrictions and ready to return to business as usual. But even with the restrictions and mandates lifted, it is still facing some of the pandemic’s effects as it reopens and recovers. Following the lifting of Eagle County’s mask requirement on May 19, the rec center was able to phase out of many of its COVID-19 policies and procedures including social distancing requirements and reservations. Now, reservations are no longer required to use the rec center’s amenities. This also includes the return of a normal summer of programs and events.
