Vernon’s Marshall Fields Dog Park and Disc Golf Course to close for 5K Foam Fest

The City of Vernon is advising residents about temporary closures and increased traffic in the Kin Beach and Marshall Fields area over the coming days as Vernon welcomes the 5K Foam Fest this weekend.

The dog park at Marshall Fields and the Lakers Disc Golf Course will be closed Saturday, June 13, to accommodate the event. Both locations are expected to reopen Sunday, June 14.

The city said higher traffic volumes are expected along Lakeshore Road from June 10 to June 14 as crews complete event setup and takedown.

In keeping with Stage 3 water restrictions, event organizers have reduced water consumption by 50 per cent to help ensure the event can proceed responsibly while supporting community-wide conservation efforts.

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and use caution when travelling in the area.
