LETHBRIDGE, AB- The City of Lethbridge is reopening certain municipally-owned facilities as part of stage one of the province’s relaunch strategy.

Not everything is back to normal, however, these select amenities have strict guidelines to follow.

From community organizations and City departments, the local Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC) has approved the opening of the following:

  • Disc Golf at Nicholas Sheran Park
  • Fenced dog enclosure at Peenaquim Park Dog Run
  • Tennis Club at Henderson
  • Community Gardens (that have ECC approved plans)
  • Skate Parks across the city
  • Mountain Bike Park in the river valley
  • Horseshoe Pits across the city
  • Lawn Bowling at Ted Petrunia Park and Bocce at Redwood Park
  • Other outdoor courts (for recreational use only) including
    • Tennis
    • Basketball
    • Pickleball

The City announced that these outdoor activities and amenities are able to be used only if participants can properly follow the provincial public health orders. This includes:

  • No groups larger than 15
  • Physical distancing of at least two metres at all times from anyone outside of your household
  • Washing/sanitizing your hands well and often

The province is still working on a way to safely reopen certain parks and playgrounds around Alberta and will determine those details at a later date.

As a result of stage one, businesses like hair salons and other small businesses will be able to open today and especially outdoor activities.
