Parks reopen for exercise

26/08/2020

1001 Steps in Narre Warren is among the parks and reserves to reopen.

As Victoria continues to fight the Covid-19 pandemic, residents have had some reprieve in Casey as access to outdoor areas begin to ease.

Casey Council recently announced it had re-opened the gates to its parks and reserves to allow people to exercise within 5km of their homes under the stage-four Covid-19 restrictions.

Parks and reserves that have reopened include:

• Wilson Botanic Park Berwick

Betula Reserve, Doveton

• Frog Hollow Reserve, Endeavour Hills

• KM Reedy Reserve, Hampton Park

• J and P Camm Reserve, Cranbourne

• Power Road Reserve, Doveton

• Ray Bastin Reserve, Narre Warren

• Sweeny Reserve, Berwick

• Bayview Park, Narre Warren (1001 Steps)

• Robert Booth Reserve

Residents are reminded that stage-four restrictions still apply including:

• Not to travel more than 5km from your home

• Exercise limited to one hour

• Wear a mask

• Remain 1.5 meters apart at all times, and

• Only walk with one other person, unless you are with children who need supervision, in which case they can also accompany you.

Cranbourne Botanical Gardens is not managed by council. For more information visit: https://www.rbg.vic.gov.au/opening-updates
