The City of Pembroke has closed the Rapids Skate Park.
In a press release issued this afternoon (Sept. 29th), the city says in conjunction with the Renfrew County and District Health Unit, The Rapids Skate Park has been closed out of an abundance of caution until further notice.
The City of Pembroke says with positive COVID-19 cases rising in both Renfrew County and Ontario, as well as a lack of supervision now available at the park to ensure existing regulations can be properly followed, it has been closed for the health and safety of both those who utilize the park and the community as a whole.
City staff say the decision will be reevaluated in the future as circumstances and regulations dictate.
