May 28 2020 – The Vancouver Park Board will begin reopening more than 320 outdoor recreation amenities across the city on Friday, May 29 including skate parks, synthetic sports fields, basketball and volleyball courts, disc golf, roller hockey, multisport courts, and 166 playgrounds. The Park Board is taking a thoughtful and phased reopening and recovery approach in alignment with the BC Restart Plan External website, opens in new tab, and in consultation with various government and non-government agencies and partners.

Skate parks will be opened on Friday with other facilities following a phased approach throughout the weekend. Playgrounds will be open across the city by Monday, June 1, in alignment with the Vancouver School Board’s resumption of in-class learning. The outdoor recreation facilities will be available for casual use only, meaning residents are encouraged to practice individual skills or play for fun with others in their household. Organized competitive play or training will not be permitted at this time.

Once outdoor recreation facilities reopen, the Park Board is asking residents to follow these guidelines for safe casual play:

Maintain two metres distance from others who are not in your household

Wash and/or sanitize your hands frequently

Disinfect personal equipment before and after use

Do not share equipment

Stay home if you feel sick

Park Board staff will be installing educational signage at many of the outdoor recreation sites that will be reopened to support user awareness and compliance with the new guidelines.
