The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) wants to make certain everyone knows about the extension of the Declaration of Emergency to include the closure of outdoor recreation amenities.
Now closed are all outdoor playgrounds, play structures and equipment, all outdoor sports facilities and multi-use facilities including ball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts, frisbee gold locations, tennis, platform tennis, table tennis and pickle ball courts, BMX parks, and skate parks, all off-leash dog parks, all portions of parks and recreational areas containing outdoor fitness equipment, all outdoor allotment gardens and community gardens, all outdoor picnic sites, benches and shelters in park and recreational areas.
Most park entrances locally have been taped up or barriers have been posted.
No person shall use the outdoor recreational amenities except for a maintenance, safety, and law enforcement purposes.
Ontario’s provincial parks and conservation reserves remain closed.
