Information on Town Park & Playground Closures

In response to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the Town of Pulaski is closing the Dora Trail to the public, along with all Town parks and playgrounds. This closure will go into effect today, April 7th and will remain in place until further notice. As Pulaski County now has multiple confirmed cases of COVID-19, we are taking the appropriate measures to protect our families and citizens.
