Jun 24, 2020 | 12:58 PM

Recreation facilities in Brazeau County will be re-opening to the public next week.

In light of Phase Two of the provincial relaunch strategy, Brazeau County has amended its restrictions on recreation facilities, announcing that the Easyford Community Centre, Brazeau Sports Park, and the Lindale Rodeo Grounds will re-open on July 1 with restrictions.

The Easyford Community Centre will have maximum capacity capped at 50 people. Food service is permitted, following provincial guidelines. The public and sports groups will be permitted to use the Brazeau Sports Park, with a reduced capacity of 50 people per playing field. Pedestrian entrances and exits will be designated. The washroom is closed, and tournaments are not permitted.

The Easyford and Modeste Creek campgrounds will also open July 1 with restrictions. A maximum of 50 people, including visitors, will be permitted and Community Peace Officers will monitor sites for compliance with capacity and physical distancing requirements. Outhouses will be open with enhanced cleaning before each booking.

The Sardine Lake day-use area is currently open, and the Willey West and Pih-To-Kwe campgrounds will return to full utilization with restrictions. The booking capacity limit has been removed, and visitors are permitted but they must check in to the campground facility. Tent and group camping are now permitted with physical distancing in place. Washrooms are open, but showers remain closed, and programming requires approval from Brazeau County.

The County urges all recreation facility users to practice physical distancing and other federal and provincial public health guidelines and orders.
