The City of Greater Sudbury has temporarily closed all playgrounds and park amenities to reinforce social distancing mandates introduced in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. 

This includes play, structures, off-leash dog parks, skateboard parks, playfields, sport courts and other park amenities. Open spaces, such as the Bell Park Boardwalk will remain open but residents are encouraged to practice social distancing at all times. 

"By closing park amenities and playgrounds, we are taking additional steps to ensure we are doing everything we can to limit the potential spread of COVID-19 in our community," said Mayor Brian Bigger in a press release. 

"Countless residents are staying home, following social distancing measures, and heeding the expert advice of Public Health. I sincerely thank you for this. 

Every one of us plays an important role in protecting our friends, neighbours and families. Please stay home, and leave only if absolutely necessary.”
