The City of Toronto says there were still some persistent problem areas at city parks during an enforcement blitz over the weekend amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a press release issued on Sunday, the city said 141 complaints about gatherings and unsafe behaviour at parks were reported to 311 on Saturday alone.
Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS) enforcement officers and police were at parks across Toronto over the weekend to educate the public, enforce physical distancing and enforce park amenity closures.
During the enforcement blitz on Saturday, 800 vehicles were turned away at Bluffers Park and 140 vehicles were deterred from parking at High Park, the city said.
