Due to the severe storm from Saturday Victoria Park will be closed to the general public until further notice, Peterborough County announced on Wednesday.
“Safety of visitors to the park is our priority”, said J. Murray Jones. “Once Victoria Park is cleaned up and staff feel it is safe to re-open, we will advise. Thanks in advance for your patience while this work happens.”
Many trees and large branches fell during the storm on Saturday and staff are busy cleaning them up.
While clearing the fallen limbs and trees, staff will also be looking for compromised trees that may have been weakened by the storm, and identifying broken branches, that are caught within the trees and removing them.
