The City of Prince Albert has announced the closure of a popular urban park due to elevated river flows, citing public safety concerns. The decision comes after the North Saskatchewan River experienced significantly higher water levels and stronger currents, posing risks to visitors. City officials urge residents to avoid the area until conditions improve and further notice is given. The closure is part of broader precautions as the region deals with spring runoff and rising water levels. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and will reopen the park once it is deemed safe. This measure aligns with similar actions taken in other parts of Saskatchewan, where flooding and high water have affected infrastructure and access to certain areas.
