The City is reopening some of the parks with playground equipment in them.
Parks and Open Spaces Department says they’ve received and finalized reopening requirements for playgrounds.
The City is working towards reopening five sites on the city’s south side and five sites on the city’s north side today. Playground sites reopening Friday include: Franklin, Vickers Park, West Thunder, Tarbutt, Green Acres, North End, County Park, Hillcrest, Boulevard, and the Marina.
Signage will be posted at sites as they reopen listing user requirements due to COVID-19. Users must sanitize or wash their hands before entering the playground area, maintain physical distancing of at least two metres from other playground users who are not from the same household, and if the resident has experienced any COVID-19 symptoms, they are instructed not to use the playground.
Further park reopenings will happen next week.
