Hermitage Off-Leash Area
A blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) bloom and/or toxin has been identified in the pond within Hermitage Off-Leash Area. To protect yourself and your pets, avoid contact with blue-green algae blooms; don’t swim or wade in water where blue-green algae is visible; do not allow your pets to drink water from this pond. If contact occurs, wash with clean water as soon as possible. For more information, visit Alberta Health Services Environmental Public Health.
Park renewal work is continuing in Hermitage Park. Starting July 20th, access to the off-leash area will only be through the south entrance adjacent to the parking lot to allow for construction vehicle access and trail renewal.
