For immediate release
Prince Albert, Sk. – The Government of Saskatchewan announced earlier this week as part of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan, playgrounds and other outdoor amenities can re-open Friday, June 12th. In accordance with that order, the City of Prince Albert will re-open playgrounds, the Kinsmen Skateboard & BMX Park and the outdoor basketball courts at the Alfred Jenkins Field House and Midtown and Crescent Acres Community Clubs Friday with a number of pre-cautions.
For all locations, residents are reminded to continue to comply with the COVID-19 public health orders in place including regular hand washing, gathering restrictions of less than 30 people and maintaining social distancing of 2 metres. Those who are sick or have symptoms related to COVID-19 must not use any public amenities.

When attending playgrounds and play structures parents and children are advised
- Individuals who are sick should stay home
- A physical distance of 2 metres should be maintained at all times
- Individuals should wash their hands before and after using parks and playgrounds
- Avoid overcrowding. Groups must not exceed the restrictions on public gatherings

Kinsmen Skateboard & BMX Park
The Kinsmen Skateboard & BMX Park located adjacent to the southwest parking lot of the Art Hauser Centre will re-open Friday with set hours.
