Wheatland County has listed a number of playgrounds in the community that have now been closed. The play facilities are closed to the public because of the spread of COVID-19.

According to a message post to the county’s social media, in an effort to limit exposure and reduce the spread of COVID-19, playground structures at the following locations are closed until further notice:

• Gleichen - 310 and 430 C. Prowse Ave

• Carseland - 360 Nelson Road

• Namaka Hall

• Cheadle - 205 Hendry Ave

Residents are encouraged to use nearby paths to walk or run and enjoy the sunshine. Wheatland County reminds individuals to stay a minimum of two metres away from others and step off of walkways (if safe to do so) to allow others to pass while maintaining a safe distance.

If a path or greenspace is busy, please move to a different area. If you are sick, you must stay home.
