The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to advise members of the public of upcoming seasonal facility closures and maintenance changes in anticipation of the Fall and Winter months.
Facility and Park Amenities Closures
The Tomahawk Golf Course will be closed as of Tuesday, October 12 for the season. During this time, Town Staff will be removing all nets and windscreens at the tennis and pickleball courts and will also begin the process of closing washrooms located throughout parks and outdoor recreation areas (not including the portable washroom located at Hester Street Park). Work is anticipated to be complete by Friday, October 29.
The Town would like to remind residents that the Thornbury Pier will be closed as of November 1 for the season to restrict access and to ensure public safety during Winter weather conditions.
Upcoming Winter Trails and Recreation Information
As the Town prepares for the closure of Spring and Summer facilities and amenities, the Town would also like to highlight upcoming outdoor winter recreational opportunities. Following the success of the groomed trails last winter, the Town will continue the maintenance and regular grooming of both the Georgian Trail as well as trails at the Tomahawk Recreation Complex. All other parks and trails will remain open to the public but will not be regularly maintained or groomed.
Upcoming Parking Restrictions
Members of the public are also reminded that Winter Parking Restrictions come into effect on November 1, 2021. The restrictions prohibit on street parking between 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. to help ensure that winter roads maintenance can proceed in a safe and timely manner.
When visiting a park, trail, or outdoor natural space, please plan ahead, ensure parking is included in your itinerary, and follow all current local and provincial public health safety guidelines.
