Friendly Reminders for a Safe and Fun Summer in Surrey
June 21, 2017
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 offleash 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.
City of Surrey By-law Officers are on patrol 7 days a week and are available to deal with any bylaw related issue by contacting 604-591-4370. The City of Surrey also has additional park patrols during the peak summer season.
