Sporting competitions are not allowed.
Public playgrounds, outdoor gyms and skateparks are open.
Indoor and outdoor swimming pools are open for a maximum of 20 patrons per pool, with a limit of three people per lane in each pool.

There will be no more than 20 participants allowed per separate space, subject to the four square metre rule, with up to 10 people per group or class.
There are no limits on the number of people per group or class if all participants are 18 years old or younger.
For adults, indoor and outdoor sport and exercise activities will become allowed if participants can keep 1.5m between them and there are no more than 20 people participating, or no more than 10 participants in a class.
Organised non-contact competitions are allowed for all age groups, if participants can keep 1.5m between them and there are no more than 20 participants in the competition.
For people aged 18 years and under, full-contact training and competition will be able to resume.
Spectators for training and competitions must abide by gathering restrictions – spectators should be in groups of no more than 20 and spread out around the ground or venue.
