Polson Park has been reopened to vehicle traffic today (June 15), after being closed temporarily due to flooding on Vernon Creek.
Major rain events on June 11 led to flooding in the park, which prompted the City to close the park to vehicles.
Now that water levels have receded, the park is open again. However, park users are reminded to be cautious around all creeks and creek banks, as embankments may be unstable and water levels could continue to fluctuate.
The City asks all park users to stay off the turf, as the ground is still very wet and could be damaged if users walk or cycle on the grass. Please stay on the paths.
The City appreciates everyone’s patience and assistance in protecting the park and staying safe as spring freshet continues.
