Parks and Trails during COVID-19
Please refer to the COVID-19 Reopening Ontario framework for guidance regarding Parks and Trails. For current City of Peterborough guidelines please see the City Services during COVID-19 update page.
Public Health continues to encourage physical distancing of at least two metres with people outside household. Be cautious of high-touch surfaces, such as benches and picnic tables in parks, avoid touching faces, and wash hands regularly with soap for at least 20 seconds to help stop the spread of illness. Anyone who is sick should stay home.

The Centennial Fountain is located in Little Lake on the Trent Severn Waterway just upstream from Lock 19. The fountain was installed for Canada Day 1967 to celebrate Canada's centennial birthday. The project was the result of the financial generosity of General Electric and a group of local business owners; engineering services were also provided for free by many local engineers.
