| Use of Splash Pad during COVID-19 |
|
This year the splash pad will look little different then in the past due to COVID-19 but is open for your family enjoyment. The splash pad It will be open seven days per week, weather permitting. The splash pad will be fenced and supervised by staff as recommended by Public Health guidelines and Provincial Orders, and a maximum of 50 people will be allowed within the fenced area at any one time. This approach aligns with Phase 2 of Ontario’s framework for reopening, and the June 8 provincial announcement permitting the opening of additional recreation amenities and facilities. Along with fencing, additional safety procedures will be in place in an effort to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Participants will be able to enjoy the splash pad in 50-minute increments to allow for disinfection of key touch points between groups of users. There will be a first come, first served entrance process to allow equal access to residents. Participants are welcome to join back into the entrance line and may regain re-entry if capacity allows. Parents and guardians are asked to either join their children inside the gates as a part of the limited capacity; or they may choose to view from outside the fenced area (while monitoring children for physical distancing). Children age 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult to the splash pad. |
