Municipal playgrounds are now open in Wood Buffalo.

The Municipality invites residents and their families to use the region’s parks, playgrounds, and other outdoor amenities safely and responsibly.

This follows the official re-opening of all off-leash dog parks in the RMWB on May 28.

Public health guidelines from COVID-19 are in effect, so community members must use caution.

Residents should maintain two metres of physical distance between others and limit gatherings to fewer than 50 people.

Members of the same household or cohort group should also keep common equipment between them and wash their hands frequently.

The RMWB suggest residents stay home if they are ill.

Areas impacted by the 2020 River Break Up Flood remain closed for damage assessment and repairs.

All spray parks remain closed as well.
