Many have been using the park as a cross-border meeting point.

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia park that straddles the 49th parallel with Washington state will be closed because it’s overwhelmed with visitors using it as a cross-border meeting point.

In this photo taken May 17, 2020, Bryan Albano walks with his son Zachary atop his shoulders in Canada at Peace Arch Provincial Park. BC Parks expressed hope that exemptions to the Quarantine Act would also help soften the blow for those who have family members across the border. “What, we’re supposed to play on the street? Sit on the street? People use the park because it’s a park,” she said. “Personally, I think it’s much more problematic to close the park. It’s our green space.”
