Park users must comply with the Ontario Government's emergency orders when entering the newly opened parks. This means no organized public events or gatherings of more than five people. Some outdoor amenities will be off-limits to park users as well.
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson told reporters on Wednesday that “I wish we could (open dog parks) because I know the dog parks are really popular.” At this time there is no word as to when dog parks will re-open, but Mayor Watson acknowledges the importance of these parks to local dog owners. “We’re working with the province to see if we can’t loosen up some of these restrictions. Dogs need exercise as well as kids.”
