The Lakeside Park beach is once again a good spot for a dip.
The City of Nelson said in a statement Monday that water at the park’s beach had returned to a normal bacterial count level. On Friday, the city warned against going into the water because bacteria exceeded Health Canada guidelines.
Lakeside Park shutdowns have been a semi-regular occurrence in recent years.
E. Coli levels closed the beach in 2016, and last year an oil spill at the nearby boat launch forced a weeklong closure.
