Algae in the waters at the park
Recent water testing has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae in the waters at the park. Your safety is our top priority, so here's what you need to know:
- Blue-green algae can be harmful to both humans and animals if ingested or in prolonged contact with skin.
- Please avoid any contact with the water, including swimming or allowing pets to swim in the affected areas.
- If you or your pet come into contact with water from the park, wash thoroughly with clean water and seek medical attention if you experience any adverse reactions.
- Blue-green Algae is a natural phenomenon and will pass with time. We will continue to test and monitor the water.
