Effectively immediately, all outdoor recreational facilities (eg. sports fields, pickle ball courts, parks, and playgrounds) are closed until further notice. Indoor recreational facilities, including the City’s two arenas, the Welland Community Wellness Complex, and Youngs Sportsplex, were closed earlier this week.

These decisions are being made in order to keep the public and City staff safe and minimize the spread of the COVID-19 virus by following the advice of public health officials to increase social distancing.
