​​Safety Rules and Guidelines

​The following rules and guidelines have been implemented for your safety​. Please do your​ part so we can do ours:

• ​Given the lack of facilities, plan a visit that is short in duration – remember, washrooms remain closed.
• Park in dedicated areas only - please only park if you can fin​d an appropriate spot that does not block access points, gates or other vehicles. If no parking spots are available, please go to another greenspace.
  
• Parking is complimentary while amenities are limited.
• Visit with memb​ers of your household only. Avoid gatherings.
• While on the trails, maintain physical distancing of 2m/6ft from others. 
• Stay on trail unless you need to briefly step off to ensure physic​​al distancing.
• Take home all litter, including pet waste. 
• Dogs-on-leash is always the rule at all our Conservation Areas.
