The City of Chandler has begun a new initiative for people who aren't ready to eat out at restaurants but want to get out of the house in a safe way.
Via their website,
Are you heading to Downtown Chandler for a bite to eat, but not quite ready to sit in a restaurant or you simply want to enjoy the outdoors? Place your to-go order at a Downtown Chandler restaurant, pack your lawn chairs or picnic blanket and take advantage of the extra space at Dr. A.J. Chandler Park.
In an effort to provide additional capacity for restaurants as they adapt to restrictions imposed due to COVID-19, patrons ordering from eateries in Downtown Chandler can enjoy beer and wine in portions of Dr. A.J. Chandler Park and the Courtyard with their meals.
Signs posted in the area outline the rules and hours for Dine in the Park as well as provide a QR code that will take you to the menus for Downtown Chandler restaurants courtesy of the Downtown Chandler Community Partnership.
Whether you’re comfortable dining in a restaurant or not, we hope we’ll see you in Downtown Chandler soon.
Consumption of alcohol in the park is allowed ONLY during the following hours:
- Monday – Thursday: 3 – 9 p.m.
- Friday – Sunday: 12 – 9 p.m.
Park hours remain unchanged and the rules are simple:
- Only beer and wine are allowed
- No glass containers
- Maintain appropriate distancing
