Riverside Archery will implement the beginning of our return starting Phase 1 on May 25.
(Note: Outdoor restrooms will open on Memorial Day May 25, 2020.)
The Phases will only progress as fast as public health data showing improvement progresses.
Each phase will last a minimum of 3 weeks duration to monitor and assess public health metrics
against thresholds to advance. Mandatory workplace safety standards were also announced. All businesses that reopen must follow
the standards.
