"(The) regional district reminds everyone that for the safety and comfort of all park users and to align with public health guidelines, visitors should keep their time at the parks short and maintain a minimum distance of six feet away from other users and refrain from contacting gates, fences and other surfaces with their hands," the district said in a press release. "The regional district is pleased to provide our parks for residents as a place to go and enjoy open spaces, but encourages visitors to be responsible with park use."

Some areas may be cordoned off because of ground conditions.

The parks are day use only, with no overnight camping allowed.
