All equipment and facilities in the parks will remain closed due to high touch points and an inability to keep enough distance between individuals. This includes playground equipment, tennis courts, skateboard park and washroom facilities.

Parking lots that are currently closed will remain closed.

Residents and park users are reminded to follow the directives of provincial and federal health authorities while using these spaces.

Kal Beach, including the pier, remains closed for now.

If you visit a Coldstream park you are asked to:

• Maintain a physical distance of at least 2 metres (six feet) between yourself and others;

• Do not gather in groups;

• Only attend outdoor spaces with people you live with;

• Continue practicing sound hygiene (cough into an elbow or sleeve, and wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds).

If park users gather in groups and do not follow social distancing orders, the district may close these parks in the future.

The district said it came up with the plan while considering the following guidelines:

• The health and safety of employees, residents and parks users is a top priority;

• Ensuring people maintain proper social physical distancing when outside;

• Encouraging local use of parks. We don’t want people driving into our residential neighborhoods to access facilities (including the Rail Trail);

• There is an active Provincial Health Officer order prohibiting gatherings in excess of 50 people.

The release said if you are planning to get outdoors, think of this first: If you need a car, you are going too far.
