All Outdoor Recreational Amenities Closed Immediately In Peterborough

The City of Peterborough has announced that all shared outdoor recreational amenities—such as sports fields, community gardens and picnic areas—are closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, by order of the Province of Ontario under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act.

The Province issued the order for all shared or communal outdoor recreational amenities—both on public and private property—including but not limited to playgrounds, sports fields, basketball and tennis courts, off-leash dog parks, beaches, skateboard parks, picnic areas, community gardens, park shelters, and other outdoor recreational amenities.

“We are at a critical point in the fight to slow COVID-19 and as a community we all have to do our part to keep each other safe by physical distancing,” says Mayor Diane Therrien. “The message is clear—just stay home.”

The City of Peterborough thanks all residents for their efforts to flatten the curve, to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
