The downtown core will be a little congested over the next several weeks.

The Urban Park is back this year, running Wednesday-Friday each week. Downtown BIA Executive Director Noella Rinaldo says they’re starting this week to attract Stars and Thunder patrons and prepare for Canada Day celebrations.

New this year is Wednesday’s will be geared towards kids, with activities throughout the day.

Thursday’s will be farmers market day and this Friday will be a pre-Canada Day party.

Rinaldo adds they will be moving throughout the downtown area this summer.

The first two weeks will see closures on Third Avenue from Spruce South to Cedar South, minus the Pine South intersection.

Keep up to date for Urban Park activity throughout the summer on their Facebook page.
