With summer officially upon us, here are few simple reminders to ensure everyone can enjoy the outdoors in Surrey this summer.
• Smoking and consumption of alcohol are prohibited in all parks, including athletic parks, recreational facilities and parking lots.
• Do not dispose of cigarettes on grass, in parks or out of car windows.
• Open burning is not permitted anywhere in the city, this includes outdoor fireplaces, chimney's and campfires.
• The warm weather and longer days bring more people outdoors. With more social gatherings in backyards, please be courteous to your neighbours.
• Please remember that dogs are only permitted off-leash in Surrey's 10 designated off-leash parks, including the dog beach area of Blackie Spit.
• The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet.
• Please be aware of the summer sprinkling regulations and be mindful to conserve water.
