Will Parts Of The Park Open Soon?

Reg Ayre of Public Health offered hope Friday that at least parts of the park may be opened much sooner than 4 to 6 weeks from now. In addition to the twice daily inspections by two Parks employees, on Monday a team of 10 will be examining large parts of the park. With the warm weather causing the snow to retreat, he is hopeful that the team will be able to gather sufficient information for an assessment about the safety of re-opening at least part of the park. He also indicated, much to the disappointment of some, that the City back-tracked from its commitment to open the north playground early this week due to the deep snow in that part of the park.
