Effective today all Barrie municipal playground equipment and waterfront fitness equipment is closed to the public.
Signs are being installed today in all the parks with playgrounds and the fitness equipment along the waterfront trail.
The dog off-leash parks remain open at this time, however, signage is being put up at both sites reminding visitors to use extra precaution.
The measures are in place because the equipment can’t be regularly sanitized and will further promote social distancing as recommended by Public Health.
The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit recommends that while outside you make sure to avoid crowds and maintain a distance of 2 metres (6 feet) from those around you.
