(CNN) Like many public spaces across the country, parks in Tampa, Florida, are closed to visitors because of restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus.

That didn't prevent one man from trying to get an outdoor workout recently.

The scofflaw was none other than new Tampa resident Tom Brady , according to Mayor Jane Castor . And, yes, the superstar quarterback was sighted (not cited), she said.

Park staff came across Brady while patrolling a downtown park, Castor said Monday during a joint news briefing with St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman.

"I got to tell you this story, too. Now, I always tell people, I'm not one to gossip so you didn't hear this from me," Castor said.
