With more sun and temperatures in the high 20s forecast for Friday (May 12) and Saturday, you may be tempted to head down to the beaches at Roger’s Cove and Beavermead Park in Peterborough, or to take the kids to one of the city’s splash pads or wading pools.
The bad news is that they’re all still closed, along with playgrounds, play structures and equipment, and outdoor fitness equipment.
The good news is that the City of Peterborough is reopening municipal outdoor recreational facilities, including multi-use fields and courts (e.g. baseball diamonds, soccer fields, frisbee golf, tennis courts, and basketball courts), the off-leash dog park, skateboard park, and picnic areas, shelters, and benches.
However, with the Ontario government’s restriction on gatherings of more than five people still in place, these facilities are only available for limited casual use. Team play is not permitted.
The city will also not be providing permits for scheduled and organized use of its outdoor recreational facilities at the current time.
Despite the reopenings, some sport fields and courts may be temporarily closed for normal spring maintenance
The city’s marina is scheduled to open on Friday, June 12th, with changes to service under new guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
