Residents experiencing drought conditions can get water at provincial parks in the southwest region.

Some parks require you to contact them before you arrive to use their facilities. You need to follow public health guidelines at all parks, including wearing a mask, keeping a safe distance from park employees and others, and not using the facilities if you’re experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms or have travelled outside the Atlantic bubble in the last 14 days.

These parks will remain open to the public until further notice.
