Premier Brian Pallister has announced that public facilities located within the provincial parks will be closed to ensure social distancing practices are enforced.
In an effort to maintain as much public access as safely possible, provincial parks will remain open. However, public facilities including washrooms, playgrounds, picnic and group-shelter use will be closed for the foreseeable future.

Chief Provincial Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin said, “At this time, we believe the general use of parks and trails is a low-risk activity for Manitobans. “With the closure of washrooms and other dedicated gathering space within our provincial parks, the opportunity to congregate in groups of more than 10 people is significantly minimized.”
Premier noted that the province is not ruling out additional measures or further broader park area closures if social distancing becomes problematic, especially in parks close to urban centres.
