Due to high water levels and active wave action, water and debris have created hazards for users on sections of the Waterfront Trail, Amphitheatre and picnic pavilion area at Kelso Beach.

The waterfront trail from the beach washroom to the splash pad is closed until conditions improve and debris is removed. Barricades are currently in place.

Trail and park users are asked to avoid the areas indicated in blue on the map until further notice. City staff will clean the debris and assess the trail when conditions allow.

The Kelso Beach Amphitheatre and picnic pavilion are also closed temporarily until the high water levels can be addressed by City staff.
