Meadow Lake’s splash park will open later than phase four of the Saskatchewan Re-Open Plan.

Youth and child day camps, outdoor pools, splash pads and outdoor activities are scheduled to resume in the first half of phase four of the province’s plan on June 22.

In an email, city manager Diana Burton told meadowlakeNOW the city is conducting maintenance work on the spray park next week. The facility is located next to the Aquatic Centre in Kin Park.

“We are hopeful if everything goes well with that work that we can open June 29,” Burton said. “Of course, when we do open we will have to follow the restrictions in place.”

Only outdoor swimming pools, outdoor water slides and outdoor spray parks will be permitted to open in the first part of phase four of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan. These guidelines apply to all outdoor public swimming pools, including those operated by hotels and motels. In addition:

• Water features must be flushed thoroughly prior to reopening to remove stagnant water.
• Group sizes must comply with the public gathering restrictions.
• Anyone using splash pad facilities must practice proper hand hygiene.
• Children should be supervised at all times by a parent or guardian, and reminded not to touch or contact others.
• Reduce physical contact with spray features wherever possible. For instance, consider using spray features that do not require physical interaction to activate (i.e. pressing buttons, switches).

Signage must be posted at splash pads to caution about the risks of COVID19, as well as educate users in following the guidelines. Signage should include the following reminders:

• Individuals who are sick should stay home.
• A physical distance of two meters should be maintained between people not from the same household or extended household.
• Individuals should wash their hands before and after using us the facility.
• Avoid overcrowding. Individual groups must not exceed the restrictions on public gatherings.
