NIAGARA FALLS, ON - March 24, 2020. Effective today, all playgrounds within the City of Niagara Falls parks are closed to the public to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Fitness equipment (located at Thorold Stone Road and Stanley Avenue) and the Skateboard Park (located at the MacBain Community Centre) are also closed.

Signage at over 90 of the City's parks indicating these closures will be installed by the end of the week.
These closures are aligned with Niagara Region Public Health's strong direction to residents to practice social distancing and avoid gathering in public settings.
