Here are the guidelines families will need to adhere to:

- Those who are sick or have symptoms related to COVID-19 must stay home.

- Use spray parks at your own risk.

- It’s recommended that families carry hand sanitizer when visiting public spaces.

- Avoid overcrowding.

- Individual groups must not exceed the current restrictions on outdoor public gatherings (30). People not from the same household or extended household must maintain two metres of physical distancing at all times.

- Limit gathering with other people when entering and leaving the park and supervising children playing. (e.g. paths, benches, picnic areas)If the spray park is busy, come back when it’s not as busy or use another play area.

- Practice proper hand hygiene.

- Reduce physical contact with spray features wherever possible.

- Children should be supervised at all times by a parent or guardian and reminded not to touch or contact others.

More details are expected to be released on Tuesday regarding facilities and recreational programming.
