Water levels recede in park

Polson Park has been reopened to vehicle traffic today (June 15), after being closed temporarily due to flooding on Vernon Creek.

“Now that water levels have receded, the park is open again. However, park users are reminded to be cautious around all creeks and creek banks, as embankments may be unstable and water levels could continue to fluctuate,” said a City of Vernon news release.

All park users are asked to stay off the turf, as the ground is still very wet and could be damaged if users walk or cycle on the grass.

“Please stay on the paths,” said the news release.
