Parks & Facilities Rentals

Return to Play

The Central Park Arena will be opening for service as of Monday, August 17, 2020 with reduced hours. As we welcome the public back to the Central Park Arena, the safety of our staff and users is a top priority. The following Return to Play procedure has been developed in accordance with standards and directives set by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit and the Ontario government. It consists of three parts:

Part 1: COVID-19 Recreation Facility User Safety Plan

The COVID-19 Recreation Facility User Safety Plan must be completed by the individual in whose name the rental agreement stands (for the ice rental), using the Form provided by the Town of Collingwood (see Schedule “A”). This individual is responsible for preparing a User Safety Plan, for review and subsequent approval by Town of Collingwood Recreation Facilities Manager or designate and for ensuring adherence to the approved Plan. Copies of the User Safety Plan Form and 3rd Party COVID Terms of Reference are available online through the Town’s website. The online form is automatically distributed to Town staff upon submission, while the fillable PDF must be emailed to Darin Potts, dpotts@collingwood.ca. Hard copies of the form are also available upon request to ensure AODA compliance.

Part 2: Terms and Conditions

The Terms and Conditions document must be signed by the individual in whose name the rental agreement stands. The signed Terms and Conditions document is to be sent to each participant referenced by the rental contract holder to ensure that all users possess a clear understanding of Terms and Conditions of the rental agreement and corresponding Safety Plan. A signed copy of the rental agreement must be sent by e-mail to Darin Potts, dpotts@collingwood.ca, by the rental agreement holder.

Part 3: Participant Log / Visitor Screening Form

The 3rd Party COVID-19 Terms of Reference form is required to be completed by the contract holder, as well as the person whose name is on the rental agreement must provide a list of participants. This participant list will be submitted to the Town in an envelope provided with the name, date, and time of rental.
