FORMOSA – Varney Conservation Area’s swimming pond is being closed until further notice.
The West Grey pond is a popular spot for local families and visitors alike. “The decision to close the pond was not made lightly. SVCA has decided to prioritize public safety and environmental protection,” said Jennifer Stephens, SVCA general manager.
A press release from the SVCA stated that, “based on a comprehensive review regarding the pond’s safety and functionality, and the health of the tributary of Camp Creek, which historically fed the swimming pond, in the interest of environmental stewardship and public safety, we are acting accordingly.”
The decision to close the pond is a proactive step towards minimizing potential risks.
