Most of the city's sport fields and ball diamonds will be open on Friday.
The exceptions are Joe Martin Field and fields #3 and #4 at Volunteer Park, which will remain closed for about another week to give them more time to dry out and for the turf to properly establish.
The moves were made after careful assessment by city parks department staff.
"Rest and recovery is of vital importance to establish healthy turf," said Parks Supervisor Chris Bjorn. "Playing on a ball diamond or sport field too early or too late in the year can cause irreparable damage to root systems and weaken turf for the season.
"Playing on unsafe terrain can also lead to injury. It is essential to allow turf to establish proper root systems to ensure fields are healthy and safe through the playing season."
The lawn bowling facilities at Watrous Park will open in early June as usual.
Masich Place Stadium opened to the public and user groups on April 15.
