The southwest corner is currently blocked off with fencing for a temporary film set.

Public health officials are asking everyone to keep two metres (six feet) away from other to limit the spread of COVID-19.

It’s a great idea but about 20% of people go the wrong way. I don’t blame them. The signs need to be much much bolder - mostly you only see arrows if you’re going the right way, but nothing if you’re going the wrong way. pic.twitter.com/XfIses3A49 — Kilted Canuck (@imajk64) April 6, 2020

All parks and trails remain open in Richmond, but both city and school district playgrounds have been closed, many of them covered in yellow caution tape.

Washrooms in parks remain open as well.

The city has created a webpage which lists all services and facilities affected by the COVID-19 health crisis.
