Description: Muskoseepi Park and South Bear Creek Park will remain closed for a number of days. Water levels remain high in the creek and are being monitored. Many paths are underwater and creek banks will be extremely unstable.
The Park will remain closed for a minimum of 3 to 4 days, until the water recedes and a thorough damage assessment can be completed. Pedestrian bridges, paths, creek banks and other park infrastructure will be inspected for safety before the park is reopened. Vehicular bridges are safe.
Instruction: The public is urged to stay away from the Bear Creek corridor and reservoir. Obey signs, do not cross or move barricades and follow the direction of local authorities.
