The Thanksgiving storm has forced the City of Winnipeg to temporarily close several regional parks for public safety reasons.

A risk assessment of City-run parks was conducted and although crews are working hard to continue to clear the debris it is not enough. 

For at least a couple of weeks, the following regional parks will be closed:

  • Kildonan Park
  • Crescent Drive Park
  • St. Vital Park

Any and all existing park bookings and events are cancelled. The City advises all potential participants of these activities to reach out to event organizers for rescheduled event information. 

The City also advises residents to be mindful and aware of potential hazards around these areas.
