Horsham playgrounds, skate parks, water fountains and a range of other public facilities have closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Horsham Rural City Council Community Services Director Kevin O’Brien said the closures affected all public playgrounds in the municipality.
He said all non-essential recreational places such as public barbecues, outdoor exercise equipment, sports clubrooms and community halls were now off-limits.
“No-one wants to introduce such widespread measures, but in these unprecedented circumstances they are necessary,” Mr O’Brien said.
