The City of Toronto has reopened after it was closed during last week’s cherry blossom season amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The park began to reopen at 8 p.m. Sunday night.

Visitors will still be subject to social distancing rules and other COVID-19-related regulations.

“I thank the members of the public in particular for their co-operation and the local residents for their understanding,” Tory said in the Twitter post. “We look forward to seeing the cherry blossoms next year.”

The park was closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the short period when the cherry blossom trees bloom in the spring. The blossoms attract thousands of visitors — along with their cameras — every year.
