UPDATE from Metro Vancouver Regional Parks – April 16, 2020

MV_RegionalParks-bar_logo

 

Metro Vancouver’s paramount commitment is to maintain core services while protecting the health and safety of our employees, partners and the public.

The majority of Metro Vancouver’s regional parks are currently open.
We recognize that spending time in nature is an effective way to reduce stress and support physical and mental wellbeing and our goal is to continue to provide the Regional Parks service that is such an important part of so many peoples’ daily health routines.

However, all park facilities such as playgrounds, docks, rental facilities and picnic shelters are closed, and all programs and special events have been postponed. Several parking lots have also been closed. Metro Vancouver has increased staffing, traffic management and signage at parks, and park users are being reminded to practice physical distancing and to regularly wash their hands to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

We ask residents to enjoy the outdoors while respecting the following directives:

  • Maintain a physical distance of at least two metres from others, including in parking lots and trail entrances.
  • Comply with closures of playgrounds, nature play areas and picnic shelters.
  • Wash or sanitize hands frequently during the day and upon returning home.
  • Dispose of any tissues in designated garbage bins.
  • If you are sick, please protect others by staying home and not visiting regional parks until you are well.

Together we make the region strong, but if we want parks to remain open, we must all do our part, and stay apart.
