Ladysmith and our regional partners are following the direction of BC's Provincial Health Officer in dealing with COVID 19 (coronavirus). Right now, that means the Town of Ladysmith has made the difficult but necessary decision to close all local municipal playgrounds (parks and trails remain open) as we continue to follow the recommendations of the Provincial Health Officer to promote safe social distancing in our community. Our neighbourhood playgrounds are a popular gathering place where children are in close contact, often touching the same recreational equipment, these spaces do not support the recommended two metres for social distancing and may increase the exposure and spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The playground closure applies playgrounds found at the following parks: Transfer Beach Park; Harbourview Park; Davis Road School; Brown Drive Park; Root Street Park; Forrest Field; Aggie nature playground and the FJCC Skateboard Park. Restricting access to community playgrounds as a precautionary health measure does not mean that the Town is closing our parks. For more information, please see the Town of Ladysmith
