As people sought to enjoy the warm weather and sunshine on Saturday, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation has briefly closed some state parks for being too crowded.

Through the day, DCR has been updating its Twitter page, announcing closures of at least two hours as parks reached a maximum number of visitors.

Among the parks with temporary closures were the Wachusett Mountain State Reservation in Princeton, Walden Pond State Reservation in Concord, Blue Hills State Reservation in Milton and Breakheart State Reservation in Saugus.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, DCR has advised visitors to keep a physical distance, practice good hygiene, avoid crowds and stay close to home.

1. I am seeing selfish people.

They are endangering themselves and the rest of us.The pics at the Washington Mall. The flyover to honor those on the front line. The nurses and doctors that are literally giving their lives for their patients...And this is how they honor them? They gather and the disease spreads and more will die, including the first responders that treat them for their callous disregard of another's life.
